    Not wearing a shirt in public is rude either way, not only in Thailand. You also risk getting severe sunburn. It doesn't feel any cooler either. You just have to wear the right kind of shirt.

    Nothing wrong with the foreign flag law! I wish we had this in Australia. Another thing to remember in Thailand is that if you’re a foreigner you are automatically on the wrong side of any dispute with a Thai and will be treated accordingly.

    Bonus fact I got from a canadian girl who has a "resort" in Koh Phangan - non-Thai people can work as bartenders and waiters, but only Thai people are allowed to take cash from foreigners. So technically when the check comes - only Thai waiters an bartenders can take your cash and give change.
    +extra factoid on top of yours - you can't sit on cash (disrespect to king) - so no wallets in back pockets ;)

    I recently saw a shirtless Brit in a shopping mall get told by security to put his shirt back on. I don’t know why he thought it was ok - he knows it’s not ok in his own country. Embarrassing to see this sort of behaviour.

    No underwear and no leaving the house. There is no law on this and prostitution is illegal in Thailand. But the problem is that there are many corrupt officials who take money from the offenders. That is why it is still a problem in Thailand's red-light districts. The problem is the seriousness of the law enforcement.

    Whatever “law” (if they are laws) or any other restriction you’re talking about here in Thailand is just, that’s the way the way things are if you visit or live here. If you’re an expat, it’s likely they don’t ever affect you. Please don’t make a big deal about obscurity. It exists all over the world.
