connda Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Perhaps if the Thais want to uphold their cultural values, they might look to their Burmese friends to see how it's done. burma parl..jpgthai mps.jpg Changed by the previous military dictator: The day that 'traditional Thai dress' died and was replaced by 'traditional Western dress.' Thank you for posting this gem! Now I've got to translate it. This is great! I may have to print this out and put it in my wallet for the next time I venture out in CM without a shirt. BIB: "You no respect Thai tradition farang. 500 baht fine." : "But Somchai, I am dressed in traditional Thai style." Thai_culture_poster.jpg That would be worth 500 baht and a picture in the local CM rag with me holding up said poster and pointing to the man with a traditional Thai shirtless chest. lol Only problem with that is that, in the poster above, the publisher is extolling Thais NOT to dress as in the left-hand picture, but rather to dress "civilised" (อารยะ), as in the right-hand picture. And hence my initial comment, "The day that 'traditional Thai dress' died and was replaced by 'traditional Western dress." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawk Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 "that the public have generally cooperated with authorities in helping to conserve water" Most rural areas have no government water so obviously they had no choice but to cooperate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
