Hi Guys,
Noobs here. I am planning my first trip to Thailand and would like to know if unlined speedo is accepted locally. Is it offensive to wear a pair of unlined swimsuit (a lil bit c thru) on the public beach? Or I'd better find a gay or nude beach?
Thanks.
Hello and welcome to the forum.
While some falang have no regard fro Thailand laws and or culture, the proper thing to do is where at least a speedo. that being said, there are falang that wear g string bikinis and thongs. I have even seen falang take off their shorts with absolutely nothing on underneath and change into a bathing suit. Some women oe sex changes walk around with their boobies out. While I have never heard of anyone being arrested or fined, it is definitely against Thai culture and I feel it is an insult to disregard their culture just like these big motorbikes that are for sale and rent. They are against the norm of Thai culture.
And please remember to avoid, at all costs, the falang solecism of wearing socks with your sandals.

And what about wearing your gold chains, bracelets etc to the beach so that you can show everyone that you are stupid and wear your money rather than save it like intelligent folk? Oh look at me, I have money....until you are on a baht bus and a motorcycle swiftly passes you along with your never to be found savings! :nud:
Oh this thread could get interesting. Actually I will open a new thread!
Falangs should also remember that shirts should be worn once they have left the beach.
Very true! Thanks Oliver!
Also they should remember that thongs and g strings are a no no for two very important reasons.
First, everyone laughs at you with your wrinkly sagging 70 year old ass in a thing that really was made for a lady. Although I dislike that also BUT and at 70 or even at 40 you ass does not belong in a revealing bathing suit. There is nothing sexy about looking at a 70 year old man in a g string. YOU ASS AIN'T SEXY and if they tell you it is, its falang fishing!!
Second try to remember that T shirts with the sleeves cut off are MUSCLE T shirts. 99% of you don't belong in them!! You don'y have muscles! you have plump or sagging flesh!! Don't thinmk anyone wants to look at your armpits at your age! :tongue3:
.....and please no outfits like this. This was spotted on the beach last week. He's (or she) is a real nutter. Most people were mildly amused to be polite, but some Thai's were genuinely upset. "Why do falang come to Thailand and act stupid like this? one masseur asked me.

You can buy shirts at Soi Buakheo for 60bht; it isn't difficult to look decent in Pattaya. I've even seen falangs wandering around Central without shirts. The poorest Thais manage to take a pride in their appearance (my boyfriend spends half the day examining himself in the mirror) and so falangs who can't be bothered are being extremely rude to their hosts.
What is on my no understand list is this kind of gay farang wearing swimwear that does not reflects his age or in no way fits his body, when he is in Thailand.
In his homecountry he would never do it because he know it is looking foolish and stupied and not sexy at all.
Maybe it was not my business, but I told him he looked just the same in Thailand, and that he in fact showed no respect to the thai, even if he was on a gay beach.
If eyes could kill.
Ps to explain he was to say it nice, hmmm, very big, and had nothing more on than a g-string. Hi was so sexy when he walked up and down the beach. When he bent forward to pick something up from the beach just in-front of me, it was just to much.ukeright:
While I do agree he looks absurd I don't approve of whoever it was sitting there secretly taking photos of people and posting them on a public forum without the persons consent. It's a bit creepy, slimy even.
He's not doing anyone any harm.
