Recommended Posts

i walk barefoot everywhere i'm a man,

Krung Thep is very great and i want to live and train there

is walking barefoot socially accepted? or at least kind of? because buddhists monks walk barefoot everywhere when asking for food

i wanted to be a buddhist monk but i don't like the must cut your hair thing, i'm in part a nazarite and i do not cut my hair

yes very long hair + barefoot will atract much attention

can you people help me please?

going barefoot is my first goal in life, more than money, family, having kids etc

If nothing else, there is a health or physical risk going barefoot on the streets of Bangkok you need to keep in mind. Rather bizarre priorities so not sure what to make of this topic. smile.png

Why not just get here and try to adjust? I can't see Immigration regarding you with a favourable eye, like most Thais they will see you as a dirty low life.

If you can't adjust, and many can't, you will hate it.

No one mentioned robed monks doing the morning rounds.

On the other hand long haired foreigners who traipse bear foot through the streets may attract unwanted attention.

robed monks doing the mourning rounds = barefoot right? therefore the anti barefoot must be against monks isnt that logical?

haha its not really like that, i know beauty makes a difference im 22 very young and my body hair face feet are pretty that would gain much more acceptance, i respect ugly old man who do this but not much beauty there

kreng thep is not very great for walking around barefoot

and the monks only walk certain places/paths and very experienced about what to look out for

but fill your boots, biggrin.png , no ones stopping you.

If this topic is not a troll it is already headed downhill with flames and other inflammatory posts and I am closing it before it gets out of control.

To the op, in case you are not a troll, going barefooted around Bkk would be considered extremely disrespectful in many instances, or you would just look like what you might call a "bum".

If you want to be a monk, go and do some research in other parts of this forum.

Closed.
