If you are a Fat Annoying Westerner, do you become a Mega Asshole by having or wearing a Krama?

Same. Personally, I don't mind it if someone is wearing a Krama when out riding a motorcycle, in a dusty field, taking a bucket shower in the countryside, out in the countryside running/working or something. It's designed as protection from the heat/sun/dust after all. However, if you're wearing one at 8pm on Bassac Lane with a cocktail in hand, then you're definitely a hipster douche. Basically, don't wear one around your neck in the evenings when out and about with your gap-year NGO friends in the city or you'll get bricks thrown at you by the newly established hipster hunter squad.AE86 wrote:I'll be honest, when I see foreigners (or any race) wearing Japanese specific traditional garb, it really bothers me. I couldn't tell you why though.
On the other hand, it also bothers me when Asians try to act "American", that also bothers me. Again, I couldn't tell you why.
That's why I never wear anything that is "Cambodian".

Not even close as same same.cptrelentless wrote: ↑Thu Apr 13, 2017 5:52 pmThat's as bad as the Russians in thongs, dude. The knackers get to clang freehanno wrote:I do actually wear a neck krama as a Sarong at home. Fits just fine.
In your mind, picture the male ruskie or any/thing/one male in a thong.
Then put a sarong on that mental image.
Ahhh.
Now don't you feel better?

"ill be coming to kampong cham aorund the 15/16th for the new year mate ill give you a shout when im in the villages"
Yeah please do. I don't know what nefarious travel plans the family has planned for KNY, but if they're not dragging the barang relative to far flung hamlets we'll get something on. Just PM me with a time and I'll meet you here in Dogpatch.

Agreed. Also makes me think of kids putting Manchester United sticker jobs on their scooters thinking it makes them more...football?Bitte_Kein_Lexus wrote: ↑Thu Apr 13, 2017 7:29 pm Same.

Seriously, kramas rock.
They have about 100 uses and you can recycle them until they fall to bits.

I fully agree, but a foreigner wearing one for evening drinks definitely looks douchy. For some reason older French dudes seem to pull it off better though. A twenty something girl from Wisconsin and her boyfriend Brad don't.

I wear the neck/face gaiters sometimes when I'm out on the beach, especially on the boat,skin has had a good bit of sun over the years, don't think I'd wear it in a bar, unless it was off the beach Those kramas look hot, how thick are they?

I like the 3000 riel ones for riding the moto. Either just to keep the sun off my neck or over the face as a dust mask. In Australia I wear a krama on hot days around my neck or waist to mop up sweat. That fat guy in Larry's always looks ridiculous with the krama as does Tim Page.
