| Do Farangs stink? | 30-08-2008 | DEC 2005 |
Er, Yes! To a Thai, we smell. We are mainly not used to the hot weather, so we sweat a lot, have to shower more often that at home. Maybe do not change our clothes as often as we should and continue to wear sweat soaked shirts that turn rancid (foul smelling).
Thais are a very cleanly people, often showering three times a day or more. That is why a Thai girls never smells or tastes like a kipper. We Farang are not used to this regime, as we have no need at home. But here, we sweat more. We give off odours due to the food we eat. We have more body hair which traps the "smell factor". Many Thais lack most or all body hair.
Our breath in the morning can strip paint. Our night's growth of facial hair feels like a nailbrush. Now you see why the first call of the gogo/bar girl is "Go take a shower!"
