    Smelly Farangs

    Rereading an old diary, I found a rainy season entry where I was lamenting the smelly fact that many farang refused to shower because it was too cold. Most were guys. Dunno if this still happens, but it drove me nigh on crazy. This was before hot showers in my village. But five minutes of "refeshing" cold water clean was lovely to me.
    And how about some deodorant? I used son sam (rock salt), coz it's dead cheap (Bt15 a kilo maybe?), works well, does not stain and does not irritate skin. Not an anti-perspirant, tho, but I had maybe five showers a day when it was hot.

    That is disgusting. I've had the heating break down in the winter & had to suffer ice-cold water at 5am before work because it's the civilised thing to do. To not shower reguarly in Thailand is sick. People like that are a disgrace. Worse than cavemen. They should do us all a favour & go die - quiety - in a ditch.

    Bit harsh LJ!

    You'd get on well with Sandra, she washes jeans after one wear and won't even sit on a toilet seat.

    I can see this turning into a French bashing thread

    Anyway, one time in Sumatra I didn't shower above my knees for a couple of days, we were up in the mountains and it was just too cold, I thought I could do it if I slowly worked my way up, but my knees were as far up as I could get.

    Showering more than once a week is a waste of water. In Thailand that maybe twice a week.

    Soap dodgers will out apparently. It's a cultural thing, those taught good hygeine when young will wash no matter what the temperature.

    So who is the smelliest nation ?

    Neither are Africans but we are allowed to stray.

    If it's farangs then definately the english as the smelliest. I state that with no bias whatsoever.

    I don't shower between short time, does that count ?

    women smells more than men, which explain why they need to shower more often. Thank god.

    actually it is, why do you think we invented perfumed back in the days ? there is a number of reasons why they do. Of course during their periods, their smell (skin,sweat) is even stronger, but outside of that, they still have stronger body odor than men.

    There were actually studies on that and physical evidence of that fact brought to light. Men also can sustain their own strong smell, as a male "thing" while women are just disgusted by it, so much, that they can't stand their own smell and become "obsessed" with perfumes to hide that smell.

    Women have stronger body honor for obvious reasons, to attract males. They also sweat more, and the sweat usually have a more acid odor, hence more annoying.

    Attract males with "annoying" body odor?

    Where's slimboyfat? He's up-to-date with sweat issues.

    I thought that was natural pherenomes. I also thought perfumes (outside the Egyptian head cone things and the Asian incense usage) were used mostly in Europe when folks bathed once a year "whether they needed it or not". It seems that different people, whether male or female, have different chemical balances and their sweat smells accordingly. Different foods also break down and smell in the sweat, especially foul are dairy products and meat. People who drink lots of water also have cleaner natural scents than say people who only flush their systems with beer.
