Featured Replies

as like most farangs am 180 the market roofs> roof shades are 150 >signs on footpaths about same

got a good bloody cut on the head at a market today> so thais get a good laugh at the stupid tall frang

Tetanus shot ?.....I ran into a low rusted wire.

I've hit my head many times. Thailand is built for midgets, or the "vertically challenged" to be politically correct.

Ducks disease.... very prevalent here. For every farang that bangs his head on the overhead, there's a dozen locals clipping their bums when they step off the kerb.

everything in thailand is just my size :-)

I find myself constantly ducking down, even just a stroll down the street. I'm 6'4 with a head like Joe Royle.

I kept hitting my head on a low-lying peach tree branch - until my head was so fk'ing sore that I changed my behavior and started ducking..

I'm in Canada ducking - and you're in Thailand <deleted>>--g..

One would presume the novelty hasn't worn off quite yet..

If so, there's always those "high quality" kathoey to consider..

I tend to watch where I'm walking so, never.

I'm 194c - only one time can I think of....But have to always watch out....I think the taller someone is the more they are tuned in to it....Haven't found all the short places the OP has except for the Sat. Market here - a mismatched roofing hazard.....

I reserve my head bumping for softer places......!

Jelly loolis....

walking into the ensuite as the door frame is on the lower ensuite floor(and cops all the waterblink.png ) instead of the actually bedroom floor height, the rain covers everytime we walk throiugh a market, street signage etc, seems that they do not allow for people of an average height, just short a*ses

That was the last one that got me - the mismatched toilet entrance door height.....

A spine jarrer.....

Decades ago , I woke up in my Bangkok hotel room. Blood all over the pillows and sheets. I noticed the bathroom door was closed. Iclimbed out of bed and gently knoked on the bathroom door. Nothin. Next I took a deep breath and looked over the balcony. No signs of anyone chucked over the edge.......Awhile later I remembered the low wire strung across soi 4 that a food vendor needed to light up the there noodle

stall.

I have hit my head in the past, but now i have a sensor warning system...the Mrs, "mind your head teerak" "look out teerak"...bang!..."why you not see that sign teerak?" Er, because i didn't see it, why didn't you warn me? "Be careful teerak". Ok

I'm 170. I have never hit my head, ever. It's like everything has been hand tailored for me.

Im 191 cm tall so I have plenty of challenges in Thailand . I hit my head on average twice monthly . Most of the hits are not serious but it hurts for a while. But you learn as you walk around. Passing the stalls outside Big C I just lower my head on instinct now , that looks funny too, And in toilets inside restaurants , I always look up to "measure" the distance.
