Since I moved here a month ago and am enjoying my walks around Sukhumvit, I have been astouned by the DOZENS of South Asian men (Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi) who have had the nerve to come up to me and start poking my belly and commenting on its size.
I am indeed overweight and my belly is far larger than I would like. However, it is not something any ordinary passer by would notice, more less comment upon.
Does anyone have any insight on what these men are playing at? Is this normal in their culture? Are they trying to flog some weight loss drug? Or are they just on the wind up?
Regardless of your motivations, if you are one of these people, I suggest you stop.
Not only is this not socially acceptable among westerners (and I presume with Thais as well), but if you said it to the wrong person you could quickly find yourself in a physical altercation and on the first flight back to wherever you came from.
Jfl you can't make this shit up
