Popular Post infinity11 Posted December 10, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted December 10, 2013 It may be called 'hom', as in smells good?It is a kind of sniff/smell you.The longer the kiss the more they like/love you.At first seems a bit strange but after a while I do it too and it is most lovely. Origin? Only in Thailand? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sas_cars Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Yes, it's very lovely and it shows the true affection that person has for you. Unlike a lusty kiss on the lips which may or may not show that the person loves u or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ajaan Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 It's not just a Thai thing, they do it in Cambodia as well. Interestingly, I was told by a Cambodian whose viewpoint/opinion I value that prior to European contact, there was no romantic lip-kissing there, the sniff-kiss was the only form of kissing done for both affection (such as that shown to children and relatives) as well as what was done in the throes of passion. She said that she herself, and many people of rural origin, to this day see kissing on the mouth as dirty and disgusting (though others have long since adopted the mouth-kissing practice as part of sex). Note that this doesn't mean they don't put their mouths on other parts of their sex partners' bodies--I mean, c'mon, humans have been doing everything to each other with the various parts of their bodies that can be done for tens of thousands of years--but the specific mouth taboo is interesting (and not that illogical, as the mouth is in fact a very dirty part of the body!). It would be interesting to see if the Thais traditionally (pre-European contact) also had the same distaste for passionate mouth-kissing. It's clear that in this day and age, they've pretty well gotten used to it, though! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HerbalEd Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I very much like the Thai sniff kiss (as I call it). Actually as the relationship deepens it can even get a bit sexy by sniffing around the ear and neck. See-ow! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtypierre Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 They also do the sniff kiss here in Vietnam. And I love it. Sent from my GT-I9105 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NanLaew Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Yes, it was quaint as all buggery all those years ago but in the end, you can't beat a good old spit swap for an indicator of depth of feeling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippydedodah Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 i had also heard that they also inhale your "aura" or spiritual sense, when they sniff kiss... me? i think they are sniffing for lingering ghost smells... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's clear that in this day and age, they've pretty well gotten used to it, though! Yeah, have heard that here from people, of course, in a simpler way. Just have heard conversations about how falangs want to kiss or asked straight out why we kiss. Then, surprisingly, I asked a few middle-aged women (who were the ones asking me about the kissing) "haven't you ever kissed your husband?" and I got 2 answers--1) "no" and 2) "maybe sometimes in bed." And definitely kissing my wife on the mouth in public here is a no-no, although every once in a while we just say "to hell with it" and go ahead, but I am really talking about a peck (already scandalous!!!!). Would be interesting to read a history of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FangFerang Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 (edited) Interesting thread, no hatred spewed or superiority complexes raising ugly heads. Nice to see. My good woman 'sniff kisses' me all the time, and I like it. I also reciprocate. Nothing smells better than my wife's hair, especially behind her ears. Yum! If the French perfume geniuses could bottle that they would be billionaires. Edited December 10, 2013 by FangFerang 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seajae Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 hahahaha, I know the first time my wife did it I got a bit worried I had BO and did a quick sniff test myself when she was not near me, thankfully I asked about it and she informed me that it is how a lot of thais show their effection. She also said that when you kiss in public a lot of thais regard the woman as "cheap/a prostitute" as it just isnt done by "good" women. Now we have been together for quite a while she has accepted that I dont care who knows how much I love her and have no qualms showing my effection for her, to be honest I think she likes it because most thai husbands show nothing towards their wives at all at the best of times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
