Don't know why but farangs (never seen a Thai do it)  who insist on wearing socks WITH sandals still crack me up.....

True but could have done without the video.

Didn't see this in Pattaya but did see it in Isaan a few days ago.

A Chevrolet pickup driving down the road.  On the side of the pickup in 12 inch letters was the following word...CORORADO.

I asked a older farang I know, why the socks and sandals? He said: nobody wants to look at my very ugly old mans feet but still good ventilation for the feet.
Also not to forget, the feet are the least worthy part of the body in Thai society, so it kind of make sense to cover them up.

Saw an elephant in the back of a baht bus on Sukhimvit Road a few years ago. I followed it from Pattaya Klang to Thepprasit just to see if it rang the bell to get off.... surreal.

Yes, i saw by far and away more thais than falangs doing this, so beats me why white boys are pointed out.
Perhaps it get more visible on them ? or perhaps because thais often wear long trousers that partly hide the socks ?

This is a true story. Stupid but kinda funny. My neighbors have a 4 month old girl. Thai/Farang mix. The father is back in England now. As I walked by their door today I stopped to fuss over the little baby, letting her hold my fingers and saying the standard baby garble. She grabbed my finger and started to say "baht baht baht"  her mom and grandma were laughing and said that is the first words she has spoken.


Go figure.

Saw a guy in white john travolta suit in Bamboo club, watched in anticipation as he took to the dance floor ... The music starts and he starts doing star jumps like on some aerobics dvd, spat my beer all over my mates shirt.
