    Can Thais blow their noses?

    Ok from time to time for one reason or another ie cold or chilli excessive infusion we all get a snotty beak, and most of us alleviate the problem quickly with a piece of tissue or if your in a cheap hotel they're curtains.

    So why oh why do Thais have to forever keep drawing that snot bubble up and down they're snouts?

    I've even got so pssd off when we're having a meal I've got a bit of bog roll held it against the bottom of her nose and said BLOW! !!

    fffffff fffffff fffffff fffffff fffffff

    Funny Nige I have noticed this as well. Maybe has something to do with their lack of paper products. I have seen them blow one out onto the ground no paper needed!

    I blow my nose on some toilet paper and the yokels look at me like I am an alien but they will just sniffle and snort all day long.
    I'm not saying it was Aliens, but it was Aliens!

    I've noticed this too Nige.

    I was once unfortunate enough to be on a 2 hour bus ride to Pattaya seated next to a ' snot sniffer ' , a really irritating experience for me. By the time we got there the snot in question had traveled a few k on its own account.

    Just a touch too much info there BY but funny never the less.

    I'm of an open mind, , wondering if they're little noses don't allow such an operation

    If a Thai were to get the nose blow slightly wrong, there is a good chance the small pea sized brain might be blown out of an ear.

    At the very least, an eyeball or two might pop out.

    It gives me the shits as well Nig, one of my daughters had a sniffle last week. so she sniffed 2/3 times, so even though it was cold morning I sent her on the Bike to pick up some tissues.

    I said to her you cant help getting a cold, so you should keep a packet of these handy all the times.

    Twas coming up on a bus from Rayong to BKK one day when we got to Pattaya a group of shanks got on, presumably bar mats going to the big city for an industrial clean out.


    Anyway one of these creatures sat right behind me, off it went

    fffffff fffffff fffffff fffffff fffffff fffffff fffffff

    I thought right I'll give you something to sniff, I had a tiny aerosol of lemon citrus spray in my bag I carry to make the c rapper semi use able an hour after I have deposited, so I squirmed it under my seat in her direction.

    She jumped up screaming and ran to the front of the bus " ba farang! "

    I shouted back in my best pigeon Angrit ,, it's better than the smell of tuna



    fffffff fffffff fffffff fffffff fffffff fffffff


    NUENG SOM SAAM BLOW YOUR NOSE! !!!!!!!!!

    nose blowing is considered as filthy a habit to the thais, as public nose picking is to falangs.

    especially if its done into a handkerchief pulled out of and then put back in ones pocket.

    if you want to disgust a thai in a restaurant or public place blow your nose loud and long into a handkerchief and watch their faces.

    in that case m'lud, i put it to the jury that the blisters on the accused's hands are the direct result of frantic and illegal masturbation and not as the accused stubbornly maintains as a result of contact with a barbecue.

    May as well take it for a test run! It will more than likely feel like someone else is doing it!

    but to farangs, it's normal and clean.

    handkerchief is disgusting also.
    forefinger to block one nostril and blow is the way to go.
    unless you like to swallow.
