You will all of course remember the innumerable threads on this and other Boards regarding wearing sandals with or without socks.
Leaving aside that it goes without saying that you will wear whatever you damn well please whether it's to the beach or out to Some Nice Place in the evening . . . the fact is that consciously choosing to slip on sandals without socks (and, horrors! combining them with shorts) is not a particularly well-thought-out idea of proper attire at most civilized evening venues. Your Thai boyfriend will be silently appalled, and you will not manage to appear even slightly sophisticated, either to him, or to your fellow diners, dancers, boozers, or GoGo bar droolers.
I have just recently purchased ~ wearing them now in fact ~ what I consider to be the perfect solution for everyone: a sandal-like hybrid which looks quite a lot more shoe-ish than sandals ... yet still flashes the requisite amount of "yes-dude-I'm-in-the-tropics" foot flesh ... still leaves things light-of-foot ... and ~ best of all ~ screams out to be worn sock less.
I challenge any maitre-de, any reasonable mamasan, any pretentious millionaire dinner guest, to fault you for choosing these sweet puppies (either to your face, or behind your back to other friends after dinner). A nice pair of Josef Seibel Bensons: in a tanny butternut leather colour, as comfy as curling up with your Thai lover after a late-nighter at Maya, as perfect at a tropical soiree (co-hosted by LMTU & his Vagina) as one can conceive, as reasonably priced as it's possible to be for Something You Love . . . i.e. $155.00 (Can).
Please rush out and grab a pair ... or order them over the net. They are 100% perfect for nights out in Thailand

PS ... I surely hope Khun Piston hears tell of this thread.
Cheers ...
