Topless?
Ok before I start I just want to makes this clear and say I know it is not customary to be topless in Thailand and I am asking this to find out peoples experience and not there opinions.
I want to know from people who have been to either Koh Phanagan or Koh Samui about if there are women topless and it is accepted there.

some people might think it is , but it isn't! , at least , not by the Thai population
when i was on koh chang , i noticed my g/f was angry at something,
when i asked if she was angry at me , she said no , but pointed at some western girls on the beach .topless

I don't like it either, just doesn't seem right to me if the locals are against it. That goes for anywhere not just Thailand - just a matter of respect imo.
But, how many tourists would even know whether it is accepted or not?!?

Agree here...How many check out Thai forums before going to know whats right and wrong?
Saw a few falang ladies on samui topless...

and presumably now you've been advised that it is not acceptable, you won't do it ?
I've seen police come and tell people to cover up.

We have the whole world to choose from. We want to go to a place that accepts it.

the asian men want to stare.
but it's all this shame associated with nudity.
the women get offended cos
a)there might be children around
b) my bf/husband might actually enjoy the view
c) man, she wishes to have big knockers (this only applies to nice sets of headlights)
Farang women going topless can actually cause a big family squabble where someone's gonna be hurt real bad.
So despite whoever's 'who are u to judge me?' attitude, just spare a thought that your actions might actually hurt someone else.

My GF tells me its not a problem for farangs to go topless or to go braless. The police frown on Thai's only, the Thai's arent offended as far as I have seen when I have been on Patong beach and Hua Hin. the more remote the beach the more liberal they seem to be. so Samui should be fine.. but that's just my experience.

Fair enough, so where will you be going?
jaffaman....my wife disagrees with your girlfriend. She considers it unacceptable for anyone to be doing it in Thailand.
I suggest we get them to wrestle in wet mud to decide who is correct. wearing tops of course
Oh and it was Samui where I watched the police telling people to cover up.
I have also seen Thai girls topless in Patong, but not for a long while.

I saw some shocker falangs topless on the beach at Patong. I dont think it is good in someone elses country, and when I get the stares from the old farang women when I'm with a thai lady I just look at their husbands and smile, they know what I mean.

None of my previous GFs have found it offensive. Can they join too?
I think it is pretty much accepted by now that around the popular tourist beaches, farangs are allowed to go topless. On an average high season day on the beach in Kamala, there are literally dozens women with their tops off.
I wonder what the reaction would be if the MiB came down there one day and asked the old hags to put it back on.

I don't think we've really nailed whether the average Thai person is offended by it or embarassed by it. There's a subtle difference.
