Jingthing Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 OK, in the last two days I have witnessed two separate somewhat older white men walking the streets of Pattaya (one in Jomtien actually) feet bare nekkid! No, not the beach. No, not anywhere NEAR the beach. Both seemed oblivious to the situation. In fact both were walking rapidly. I just don't get it. Aside from the filth, the walking surfaces here are a step up from a MINEFIELD. Definite sign of insanity or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingthing Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 (edited) I walk around a lot. I can't imagine this. I get it their feet are super tough. However, I think it's more sensible to walk barefoot on hot coals for a short distance than a long barefoot walk on Pattaya's streets.

DD13 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Insanity is the scruffy farang who walks in the outside lane on Sukhumvit around the Makro area..... the guy must have a "death wish" I haven't noticed if he has footwear or not.......I am usually too busy trying not to get his blood on my car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lonewolf99 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Just back from Australia...and sure enough they go barefoot....<deleted>. The streets there are a lot cleaner but hey ? Here in the stinky bacteria riddled tropics walking barefoot is a NO NO. You can easily get a cut and a serious infection. Round worm is another bad problem. It might not be the sign of total insanity but it is fool hardly in the extreme. Even worse is going barefoot in the rainy season and wading through the raw sewage streaming down the Sois. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briggsy Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 This is Thailand. You can do what you like as long as it does not affect anyone else's income at which point they may become violent towards you. Not wearing shoes should be fine.

Briggsy, you have summed it up perfectly, down and outs, peasants and odd beats are part of the Pattaya way of life. If you have no class, aspirations to be class or basically downright ignorant of your visiting countries way of life so be it. However I do know that it's common for whites to walk the immediate area of their residences in South Africa, etc bare feet, but they would never do it in a town or city. Double standards ?
