Dressing for Thailand

[frequent]

What parasites? I have been walking around in flip-flops in South-East Asia for 5 years, and never had a problem.

On the contrary, my feet being exposed (to the dust and everything else) is good against athlete's foot (which I get after one month in Germany with socks and closed shoes).

Yes, I have unprotected sex all the time and I've never caught HIV so that clearly proves it doesn't exist

Lonely Planet: Parasites - Numerous parasites are common in local populations in Thailand, but most of these are rare in travellers. To avoid parasitic infections, wear shoes and avoid eating raw food, especially fish, pork and vegetables. https://www.lonelyplanet.com/thailand/health

29% of US residents have pinworms so it's fair to assume that a decent percentage of Thai residents have them too. Like dogs, many farang need regular deworming. Albendazole from the local pharmacy will make a start.

Dear Dr Mancs,

Would regular flea treatment also be apposite?

Dear Dr Mancs,

Sorry to beg more advice so soon, but there is a 10yo (mid-70's in human terms) Old English sheepdog constantly roaming the streets of Pattaya (particularly the BT and Sunee Plaza areas). By the look of him, he has chronic mange which I suspect has spread to the brain - what would you recommend?

Obviously "putting him down" is one option - but it's already been done so many times and he's still alive (though barely kicking anymore).

Is there any medication one could try giving him - say stirring it into a 99B breakfast or something?

Having said that, is it available in suppository form - because not only would there would be absolutely no difficulty with insertion, he'd be positively panting for it, with his tongue hanging out in sheer anticipation.

I await your advice.

If more of your posts had the quality displayed above in which you actually used a little guile to get your scat stuff posted you'd probably be a little less disliked and a little less disgusting.

But please. No more denials of your well known fetish. Plausible deniability has left the building.

'What size knickers do you wear? Boxers or briefs?'

Ho ho.. I mentioned the shirt sizes because I go up a size in the evening, that's all.

I mostly wear a hybrid boxer/brief design that I got a supply of years ago, but can't find now - as airy as a boxer, but much softer fabric

I recall they had a name, but have been struggling to remember what it was - would like to find them again..

Do brands matter these days? Everything's made in some anonymous factory somewhere in China
