Golden Triangle 4,390 #33 Posted June 30, 2019 Yes I know that this Pattaya centric, but for your info, my friend reports to Korat immigration, they have a rule that no shorts, T shirts or flip flops are allowed, Tailored or Polo shirts and long trousers and proper shoes only. I have previously presented myself at Jomtien wearing tailored shorts and a Polo shirt or tailored shirt, now I will dig out my long trousers and dress as they request, no big deal really, and yes there are some scruffy buggers that get in there, some look as though they haven't showered for a week or had a shave and perleees the guys of 60 + with Grey hair, ponytails & earrings, sheesh. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mitkof Island 1,647 #37 Posted June 30, 2019 Its a freak show with foreigners on the streets , at the borders and Immigration. Seen this at the borders and immigration more than once. And then they wonder why they are treated badly. dress for success . how much effort does that take? dress like a sloppy pig and expect no respect from the locals. 6 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They often look like they crawled out of a dumpster or girly bar. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You might look like a tramp (after all your location states Rayong) so why lump yourself in with the great unwashed ? Or are you not an expat or are you a HiSo expat, you send confusing messages sunshine. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I ALWAYS dress like I am going to a very important business meeting when I go to immigration or the bank or any Thai government location. And it does make a very big difference. Dressing like a slob sends a message that you are disrespecting the Thai people. Incredible that I still see farangs wearing shorts and tee shirts to immigration and especially to the bank to open accounts. Given the legend that you are NCC they should be affording you you're own private entrance and air conned office to do the formalities .. 1 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course you can still look smart in shorts and a t-shirt, have you seen how much smart t shirts and shorts cost? Multi millionaires all over the world wear shorts and t shirts in summer months. Clearly you are the old fashioned type. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So when you state " Most expats look like tramps" what percentage would that be?, just concerned that you lump anyone you don't know into this bracket or is it just another empty reply with no substance ? Do you have proof of your statement ? No, I thought not, you need to be careful walking around with your nose in the air (snobbish) you tend to bump into lampposts and tread in dogsh!te 3 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One nationality wins the prize for men and another for women. I have see foreign women here showing more skin than the Thai P's . And then they wonder why are the Thai men following them. 1 1 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
