Vespa Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 What is the Thai policy on farting? We know about the toothpick issue and covering your mouth with your hand I think sneezing and blowing your nose is also considered very rude in public But how is the natural act of farting regarded? Can you rip one while standing in line with wanton abandon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxexile Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 i dont think its the done thing here , thais are very sensitive to bodily excretions and odours and due to the everpresent crowds everywhere you go in this country , the opportunities to "farte blanche" are few and far between. better to keep them in a holding pattern until you get home.

Head Snake Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I think farts would be an improvement over some of the street smells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you rip one while standing in line with wanton abandon? you could try imitating a duck (a duck quacking that is not a duck farting), not too difficult with a little practise, then when in public look or point skyward to complete the subterfuge. Of course you will have to vacate the scene in a rapid manner if you have been drinking Guinness within the last 24 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty Mouse Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I don't know anything about a 'farting policy' but I do know that in my house, she who has wind must take herself out of the television room and rip loose in any part of the house where she can't contaminate our food, or where her fumes will not infiltrate my nostrils. I'm still trying to formulate a procedure for our bed. The main problem being that she explodes whilst asleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wamberal Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 On average, a man breaks wind 14 times a day, and a woman 7 times. Some people's farts genuinely do not stink.......believe it or not. My (Thai) wife farts many times a day, but mostly her farts do not stink. However, she is extremely shy about farting anywhere that anybody can hear her.....except me. In fact, she doesn't even like to pee where anybody can hear her.

I think farting in public is frowned on, but within the family policies vary. I know that my wife once told me that in her family they were regarded as a source of great amusement in her family-and I still married her. Contrary to the forum members experience above, hers reek and mine cannot be detected most times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CymruAmByth Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I was sat in a KL airport departure lounge next to two very well dressed Thai businessmen recently. One of them took a call and the other one got bored and lifted one cheek up and nearly tore himself a new a$$hole. It must have been a 5 second flute! Awesome! Interestingly, not an eyelid was battered. It was as if nothing had happened! I have taken this as acceptance of farting generally and will now fart with gay abandon, safe in the knowledge that posh people can get away with it in crowded rooms.

webbew Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 LOL! I knew I'd find a poop thread on this board somewhere. It's been my limited experience with thai culture that saving face is very important, and thais will bend over backwards attempting to help people save it. Lord knows I've made my share of mistakes when in Thailand and the thai people I've been with have gone to great lengths at times to cover my screw ups. On that note, perhaps the farting incident in the airport was totally inappropriate but those in the area ignored it in an attempt to help the offender save face. A good rule of thumb (in my opinion) is to simply not fart in public no matter what culture you are in. Unless you have GI problems, and then I think people will generally understand if you explain why you cannot control the situation. The bottom line is, you have nothing to lose socially by maintaining control of yourself and everything to gain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daleyboy Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I always use the fart and walk technique wherever i am. If i am in a supermarket for instance i will try to quietly let one dribble out while following someone else, then when the smell hits fellow browsers i can point at the person in front and hold my nose and then the blame is always on them. If you cant find a suitable person to follow, just use your wife and blame her not that i ever do that mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good God man, take some control here.Farting is one of the last bastions of the male domain.She should be the one cowering in a corner with her face in a pillow, while you sit smirking into your ice cold beer that she has just poured for you...... A large meal of bakedbeans,fried onions and pickled eggs seems in order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmeriThai Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Tut, tut, chaps....you really should be learning and practicing the silent but deadly routine......and also learn to move quickly away! Not all can be SBDs. Some of those sneakers can turn out to be explosive buttcheek slappers. However, a bit of creative blaming can be useful. Who To Blame For the Noisy Ones? - Blame it on the person next to you - Blame it on the dog - Blame it on the weather (Think it'll rain? Sounds like thunder.) - Blame it on mice (For those squeaky ones) - Blame it on a passing tuk-tuk or motorcycle - Blame it on your shoes SBD Techniques Escape Artist Especially handy in densely crowded areas where the noxious nose wrenching SBD fumes are to be released. The object is to leave the area as quickly as possible without drawing attention to yourself. Everyone will be looking at everyone else and wondering who did it. Surprise Involves the release of an SBD when you are alone on an elevator (lift). When the doors open at a crowded floor simply exit the lift as others get on. Feel secure knowing that the unexpected 'surprise' will likely rise to nose height of the trapped passengers as soon as the doors close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
