Anyone from Thailand on now? Serious question I need answered by someone from the country or very familiar with it
Okay, so I'm going to Thailand soon and just today I was hit with a bombshell that I MUST cut my hair...my beautiful long hair that I've let grow wild. This is some bullshit and I'm not happy, why do Thai people judge you on how you look?!

This will be the second time in a row I've grown out my hair how I want it to look, and people have bitched and threw a fit until I cut it. Last time I went to my uncle's funeral with long hair and my grandfather threw an absolute fit and made me go to my cousins and get it cut before I was allowed to rejoin my family for the burial.

Now the other side of my family is pulling this shit "you have to cut your hair before you come or nobody will respect you."

I've spent thousands for the trip already and I really don't care who respects me. Why must they control me? I don't tell them how to look. They have all the ladymen over there dancing around and I can't have a little longer than shoulder length hair?

Absolutely thinking about throwing my plane ticket in the garbage. Is this true?

Isn't hair supposed to be a source of spiritual power? scratching
I have never heard that about Thailand.

Buy a hat?
"The world will soon wake up to the reality that everyone is broke and can collect nothing from the bankrupt, who are owed unlimited amounts by the insolvent, who are attempting to make late payments on a bank holiday in the wrong country, with an unacceptable currency, against defaulted collateral, of which nobody is sure who holds title."

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

The woman who is not pursued sets up the doctrine that pursuit is offensive to her sex, and wants to make it a felony. No genuinely attractive woman has any such desire. - H.L. Mencken, In Defense Of Women

If they make me do this I might just shave the entire top bald and let the sides longer and REALLY look cute for them over there. Bet they'd just love that. I already told them I wanted to keep my hair longer to hide some thinning spots! Won't they be surprised when I go with a waxed top and business on the sides..

Just wear a really garish wig and pretend its your real hair. then when you take off the wig your hair will look good by comparison and nobody will bother you.

Hey buddy if you had a tiny thin spot on top of your head and thinning hair in the front sides I'm sure you'd do what you could work with to fix it. My wifes fucking hot, I have to keep up can't be lookin like a bum but if these guys keep being stupid over my trip I might have to anyway just for kicks.

Thanks. Didn't know Austrailia was really in Thailand, appreciate the geography lesson! Next? Anyone know anything about this, I never heard of this until tonight. Apparently when a guy has longer hair in Thailand they view you as a druggie, bum, no good person who can't be trusted or respected.

I'm asking for thai advice on this I don't need a horoscope or color commentary? Honest question. I see people asking way dumber shit on here every day and I'm faced with an issue I'd like some thai opinion on...

So if you aren't from Thailand I suggest you stay in Aussie land wrestling crocs with Dundee, thx.

Finally! So what is the deal here, I'm hearing that I'll be instantly singled out and not respected as a farang with long hair?!

I'm a giant first off so I doubt that my hair will be the first thing that singles me out, I'm afraid the locals will panic and yell "Godzilla!" when I get off the plane....and my family is throwing a fit about my hair whats the deal? is it true?

Thank you very much. I'm leaving soon and I just needed to know what all this was about and I'd rather hear it from someone in Thailand before I cut 2 years worth of investment off my head.

Hey, so what about military family in Thailand are they a bit more picky? I don't know why they are making such a big deal about how I look. They told me that I will be judged not by how I am inside but how I look on the outside.

Apparently, your hair length is not the issue. Your near complete lack of self esteem is. Perhaps the Thai's beautiful unassuming subtlety will reflect that for you...

I have attended several funerals in Thailand. Someone is messing with you. You absolutely do not need to cut your hair for any reason.
