jackspade Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I frequently see women of apparently similar age holding hands. I assume that some of these women are lebians/bi couples, but might it merely an aspect of Thai culture that women occasionally hold hands platonically? Of course, whenever I see two guys holding hands, I simply assume they're gay, no question about it. I could be wrong about this though, too.

Popular Post saakura Posted July 30, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted July 30, 2014 Yes, you are right about the girls holding hands being just a platonic thing. And yes, you are wrong to assume all boys holding hands are gay. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LennyW Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Yep, you are wrong to automatically assume that women/women and men/men holding hands in Thailand are gay, way wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulysses G. Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I think that straight boys in Thialand used to hold hands, but Western influence stopped it. They used to do it in the Philippines when I last visited about 20 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boys and young men still hold hands in India, it's quite common. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enuff said Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 . With any travel to France, Italy, Spain, South America, you will see same sex couples arm in arm, hand in hand. It hasn't got anything to do with sex but with bonds of friendship on a level that many from homophobic, guilt and fear ridden cultures can never understand.

willyumiii Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 You could not be more wrong! It is very common for two girls or two boys to hold hands in Thai culture. It does not mean they are gay at all! I've always thought it a little strange that boy can hold boys hands and girls can hold girls, but an adult hedrosexual couple should not hold hands or show affection in public ever! I do not know where yo, but where you are from, but where I come from (USA) same sex holding hands usually means gay too. But not here in Thailand. Remember....This is Thailand with a different culture and a different set of rules![attachment=277241:images (1).jpg] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buhi Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I was once with my brother in law on Silom, other brother was in the Christian Hospital, near Patpong. He grabbed my hand as he was upset and there we were walking past Patpong, hand in hand. Normal Thai behaviour, especially close friends and family. All I could think, is I hope no one gets the wrong idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgrahmm Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Usually if they hook the wrists or palm hold loosely it's common and you see school classes do it.... If the fingers are interlocked and one is homelyish and flattish with short hair = different story.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
