"dont hate me because im beautiful nigga" -lamar

arunsakda

again that is not a troll,

ill teach you

troll means and offensive person, who go provoking others and saying bullshit, crazy things in order to amuse himself

jimmy from gta v explains it

SO, mine is not a troll, BECAUSE, what i say its real, im searching for TRUE help, thats not troll

its simple

thank you for the help arunsakda

no again i didnt redefine nothing, its just you dont know the much the meaning of tolerance and respect the same as the word troll, again you are mixing respect and tolerance, its backwards, public affection and no one saying a thing is not tolerated, but respected, its simple

yes thanks, i suppose i cannot be at temples because my feet would be too dirty, and at banks offices ets some must respect it even if they dont like it, i dress well the only part is that im always barefoot

well monks walk barefoot and go to temples, no then its ok

p.d. i love gta v

Thank you again. I will accept your narrow definition of trolling, but redefinition of common terminology is not acceptable. I am surprised you enjoy video games. I used to play them in arcades when I was a a kid. I tried my buddies play station 3 a few years ago at his condo. Soon I realized 3 hours had passed. I am worried if I purchased a play station I would waste time when I could be practicing, studying, exercising, etc.. They games are compelling, I cannot believe that people give these devices to children.

If you think public displays of affection are " respected" you are suffering from a fundamental misunderstanding of Thai culture. Spend some time here and you will understand. When I was younger I also believed I would be famous someday. I was suffering from delusions of grandeur. These mistaken expectations have been replaced by a more realistic understanding of my own impermanence, and lack of significance or importance of any kind.

No. A freak is a freak in any country. Why should Thailand people respect a self described freak? Because you are farang, and automatically better than Thai? Sheesh!

I don't understand the purpose of this post.

Most people of your appearance & mindset don't give a rat's arse what others think.

[sirocco]

The goal? but there is none. Just to test the answers.

Not wicked, but it is his only way to exist in the eyes of others.

[KarenBravo]

In answer to the original question......

No, you won't be respected.

Yes, you will be tolerated.

Going barefoot in the tropics is a bad idea; one cut and your foot will be infected really quick, even the poorest of people in Thailand have something on their feet, be practical rather than pretentious, practical is the real cool.

I'm worried that his mummy doesn't know he's on the computer unsupervised.......

being informed is the real cool, it avoids you from saying bullshit

according to you monks should be die everyday for going barefoot, but no, does not get infected as you say, its pretty safe in most places, as safe as dogs (dogs walk barefoot safely in most parts)

you wanna play bullshit, saying what the media and society have teach you to say that you cannot speak with your head outside of societys butt ok i wont be playing that

shoes are the real criminal as they deform in nasty forms such a beautiful, important part as the human foot

going barefoot develops feet perfectly strong and healthy

I'm worried that his mummy doesn't know he's on the computer unsupervised.......

you call me a kid while you tend to use the logic level of a 5 year old kid mister 99% of the monks walks with flip flops and are criminals

A self described freak. Why would Thais think you not a farang freak? Sheesh....

[KarenBravo]

Yup, definitely 99% exactly.

Got up at five in the morning and drove around Chalong to Phuket Town.

Looked at the first one hundred monks that I saw walking to collect food.

Only one of them bare-foot. The other 99 were wearing flip-flops.

What are the chances my estimate turned out to be spot-on?

There is a God (did the Buddhists get it wrong?).

Good luck in becoming a Thai citizen... Let us know how that works out for you...

As far as your appearance, you will fit right in with the crowd on Khao San Road in Bangkok...

Mr OP, as you are so young, your belly probably won't be fat enough, and you will probably

need to be loudmouthed like a Yorkshire man.

I'm surprised (but maybe I shouldn't be) that people on here are giving this guy the time of day. I reckon he's enjoying a successful fishing trip and surely cannot be serious!

thats cool, you have some basis i thought not, but generalize like that..

i can go to some city and saw 50 black persons and 5 white person, and its not wise to generalise than in amurica 1/10 is white

Took this picture in northern Thailand a few years ago.
Saw the same monks in Phuket about 2 months later.

[jacksam]

Appearance is very important in Thai culture and is seen as a reflection of internal merits.

Clean, well shaven and well dressed would be the way to go.

The way to go for you perhaps. I live in Thailand and respect the laws of the land. If I go to a temple I behave accordingly. However in general my appearance etc has zip to do with anyone. OP can appear however he wishes as they say in Thailand often. NOT YOUR BUSINESS

not of your business thats a prhase they say in thailand? so cool, thank you i really liked that,

[CharlieH]

Actually the phrase is "up to you" not "not your business".

[Patsycat]

I would think the monks only walk a small way barefoot, the rest of the time they would wear shoes.

I do love walking around barefoot but in my home. Not out on the street. Here, in my country, you can be arrested for walking around barefoot. They consider you a vagrant. Perhaps, there may be a leeway for a monk.

And the monks i have seen here, all wear some sort of foot covering be it sandals or shoes. Or, in the Winter, Timberland boots like everyone else. Why risk catching pneumonia? Those pavements can get a bit icey and slippery.

Am i going off topic? But in a nice way?

no, they walk barefoot in the morning long distances patsycat

in thailand theres not winter, maybe a little bit in the north

arrested? only places where you can be arrested are... some arab places and not for going barefoot but for showing skin and only applied to women although its better not do not socially accepted things in those places tolerance is not great there

american legal, china legal, thailand very legal, australia, europe,africa, south america etc legal

also i would like to end this post i mean i dont like so much attention i only wanted a few opinions lol
