I did not realise that "shorts are distastefull at all times" I will have to inform all of my wifes Thai Family and all the thousands of Thais that I will see when next in Thailand!!!!

Yes it's ok for kids and lower class thais to wear shorts. Or if you are working or in your house. But thais do NOT go out wearing shorts. Period.

I remember goin' to Thai discos and feeling like such a pimp. I'd walk in with a bunch of white friends and everybody left, right, and center started buying me drinks and askin' if I'd give them my friends' digits and such. Oh, and I also learned that if you're gun shy about bustin' a move, all you really need is a female friend who can actually dance *and* make you look good! One of them said, 'Ok Jon, just do whatever comes naturally and I'll dance complimentary.'

Ten minutes later we're on top of a speaker with ourselves on the jumbotron!

Hey hey, whoa, just trying to lighten up the situation!

In some of the newer, upscale clubs here they have attendants as well who will hand you paper towels (& toiletries) in the restrooms. I can't imagine getting a massage, though, while using the toilet.

I hear a lot about the discotheques in Thailand. A friend of mine wants to take me some discos in Bangkok the next time I visit. So I was hoping to prepare myself a little bit before.

I was wondering how people dance in Thailand. Is it more rave style or more hip hop? In So. California, a lot of the clubs play HipHop/R&B and the dancing usually consists of people grinding on one another I know the Thais are rather modest people in general, so for some reason I would think they dance differently than western clubs. Should I expect to be jumping up & down, head bopping?

Also, what type of music is most prominent within the discos? lol, and how do people usually dress? Usually, if I go out to clubs here we dress up rather fancy. The guys in buttoned shirts/slacks and the girls in stylish tops/skirts. Do the girls dress pretty provocative in Thai discos, too? -Thanks!
