I do agree. I have seen quite a few Thai men wearing shorts. I do that too when I go out with my beloved, in fact very often cos Bangkok is rather warm. Perhaps my short are more "bermuda-like" and reached almost to my knees, I have never had anyone telling me it was inappropriate or given me the "look". Once I even wore it to a big temple that we had not visited before, where we did our tambun together. I remembered telling my gal that I was wearing shorts (didn't know we were not going to ahve time to go back to my hotel to change) when I was on the way to her house, and she was apprehensive at first, until she saw that I was wearing that bermuda shorts. Then she said "no problem".

As I look no different from a Thai Chinese, I think people will be less forgiving if my attire is really not appropriate. I was apprehensive before I went to the temple, but everything seem normal while I was there.

However I think it would be very inappropriate for the lady to wear shorts to a temple.
