johna Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Yesterday on the BTS, I saw a white, late teenage girl wearing a T shirt that reached her waist, a lightweight jacket, unbuttoned at the front, but covering her behind, and panties. that's it, I had to look twice to make sure they were not short pants. I then looked away in disgust. Where do they get this dress code, from Madonna or Lady Gaga on stage?? (I would happily give this girl money for tattoos and nipple rings to complete her ensemble) This follows right on the heels of watching 4 Dutch people openly groping each other on a plane from Amsterdam.

canuckamuck Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 You had to look away after looking twice. What's the point of looking away at that point? Virtue signalling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robblok Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Yes us Dutch are quite open minded not prude like some posters. And if a girl wants to wear this.. her choice.. if your bothered by it why check her out.. Are you a christian or something like that ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not wrong in the West, but in Thailand, it's spitting in the face of Thai culture. When in Rome, do as the Romans. It's that simple. Many farangs behave--and dress--disgustingly in Thailand.

jak2002003 Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Thai culture..... where traditionally women walked around in the streets bare chested? People can wear what they like.... or do you want the women coved up in a black burqa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexlowe Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 There is the question of decorum and social mores. If 21st century Thai social mores dictate that this form of attire is inappropriate, then so be it. Not for us to say. But this is a foreigner criticizing another foreigner (presumably), so perhaps His Loftiness should be asked to comment: http://news.thaivisa.com/thailand/dress-inappropriately-or-dance-provocatively-and-face-songkran-arrest-warns-pm/137594/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I recently changed wearing nike / adidas / dri fit T shirts (they keep me cool too), and wear shorts from the same brands with those. For me its a matter of feeling good.. dont like wearing jeans in and around the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which probably explains why I'm not keen on unexpected visitors! But I do agree that Thais already think Westerners are badly dressed and even more badly behaved.... so always dress conservatively when out.

Deepinthailand Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 (edited) It's called personal choice. In the house I wear as little as possible let shots and a t shirt (sleeved or sleevless) out and about well that all depends on what I'm doing out and about really. As for couples groping as you put it why the hell not most natural thing in the world. As for this girl you saw well I'm at a loss really did she have her back or front to you!!! Your explanation seems she had her back to you as you clearly state the coat covered her bum. So did you shift places to see her front as you then say and Panties that's all. Can you explain this please. Also the and I quote (I would happily give this girl money for tattoos and nipple rings to complete her ensemble) Is a very sexist remark are you insinuating she was something other than a teenage girl!!!

55Jay Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Yup, I'm pretty much a bum around the house too. If the dogs start barking (that's the door bell), damn, gotta go find a t-shirt. LOL. We live outside the city, laid back, but that's not a license to let go of all standards and decorum, and walk around like an ass clown. It's a fine line between thumbing your nose at Thai society's "rules" to let all and sundry know you don't care what they think, and having some personal standards. I admit, mine were heavily influenced by the lobotomy I received in the military. Many of the farangs I hang around are ex or retired military, and seem to follow a similar discipline.

canuckamuck Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I am all for decorum and making a proper effort. Before I head to town I put on my dress cargo shorts, Clean shirt (button up style if having a meeting), and cross trainers with socks. Although I have been known to wear the flip flops when I have a newish pair. No socks then of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
