It's freezing ( not quite) why do foreigners wander around with no shirts?

[peterb17]

Following from my decent dress in restaurants thread- popped into Tops in Jomtien- needed some chicken for the dog. Counted eight guys wandering around with no shirts. It's not exactly hot at the moment. On the beach-OK- with a fabulous body- might appreciate that. But just walking along a street.

I avoid the sun- skin cancer is a real risk- what is the obsession with a tan ?

OK - let's not have I live in a cesspit- what do you expect!

You seem to be obsessed with how other guys dress?

Get a life, or come out of the closet.

You buy fresh chicken for the dog?

Counting guys without shirts is a bit odd. Counting women without shirts however..........

It was so chilly last night even the Russkies were shivering on the Pattaya baht bus! Of course they were dressed in shorts and t-shirts at night.

I had to wear a jacket today I was so cold

Most farangs care that it is an affront to Thai society to go without a shirt....

Some farangs plain just do not give a shi*t about that and most everything & anybody else......

Unforunately you are in an area where affronts are in vogue - from all sides....

[Minnie the Minx]

The baht bus? What's this fascination with baht buses? Horrible things.

Guilty!

In Pattaya it went down to 18 degrees C overnight. to some that is a warm day.

Myself I had to raid the cupboards to find a jumper..... I had no such luck and my nipples chaffed.

If you go out in Pattaya and drink then what other option is there?

Chaffed nipples. Get some proper underwear on you and stop complaining.

I am so cold I have a shirt,light jacket and jacket for cold weather on top.Plus thick sweat pants covered with a second pair of jogging pants.and of course a toque for the head. But of course I am in Lomsak .

Out of the closet - the usual meaning of this- that you are out and about and everyone knows you are gay- been doing that for decades.

I don't understand with the very well understanding of the damage of UV - why you would not cover up?

[peterb17]

Of course - it's cheaper than the tinned stuff- it's only a small dog- so some biscuits and a couple of bits of cooked chicken last a while.

Roasted with a touch of tarragon.

He seems extremely well.

[peterb17]

I'm not sure- you may be correct- to go back home with a tan in darkest winter- still a status symbol.

[peterb17]

Jingthing- it was so chilly- had to dig out a sweater/ jumper/ fleece- being international here.

Don't forget anything above 5 degrees in positively tropical for the Russians .

Hope you were off for another restaurant review- keep it up.

Sadly I realise this- no excuse though.

But are these guys so poorly educated on the risks of skin cancer- many friends here have had treatment- hate to say especially the golfers.

Of course the answer is yes- a super tan- wow!

[peterb17]

I hate them- but they are very cheap - more politely inexpensive.

If you live on the baht bus route and know where to catch them- it's easy

The crack down on drink driving- go out for dinner, two glasses of wine could be very problematic.

So it's a nessary evil sometimes

At least you have a jacket...

[roo860]

Nothing wrong with a bit of a tan.

Quite like it me self. Gives that outdoor rugged look.

I find bra's to be uncomfortable.

Your nipples chaff when wearing panties ? ....

I think you have bigger issues at stake other than the cooler weather.

I overlooked you were in a food store with food openly displayed....They are pigs - gross human beings.....

It is most likely against the law where they come from....a few rungs below the worst of the Walmart stalwarts....

Tan jealousy here though....

Some of us (me) have spent years playing sports full days in the sun....Unfortunately my darkened burned in sun skin areas are still whiter than most people's light areas.....

[DogNo1]

I think that some tourists are ignorant of proper attire in various locations that they will visit when they pack and then find it difficult to leave all of the logoed T-shirts and British shorts in the suitcase when they get here. And for others, it's just everyday grunge attire that think is appropriate. FREEDOM from dress codes is so liberating and the temperature is (was) so pleasant

[wooloomooloo]

I feel ashamed of my previous wardrobe malfunctions when in Patts. Next visit is in June and I'll be lording it with the wife-beater, camouflage shorts, cummerbund and cravat combo.

[berybert]

Cold ? Cold in the north of England doesn't put these guys off. tho I apologize if you are eating your dinner.
