Well, in the end I've gone for a brown trouser without pleats, a dark brown shoe (that I have already), and a very light (slightly see-through) white/cream shirt with a bit of a fancy pattern. Oh, and a dark brown belt that I'm pretty happy with. All in all though, after I came home and the more I thought about it, it's all a bit Saturday Night Fever. Sort of uber gay SNF going out to a club wear, and definitely too matchy matchy with Mon since my pants are the same colour as her dress. Oh well, at least we'll look like we tried. I'm going to drag her perfectly nice dress down into my matchy matchy mire.  | |

 Um... Those are grampa shoes to me. I was trying to find some samples for you and I stumbled on this supposed hot trend. Wear this.  The kids in school wear those. Ick. In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular. |

In all seriousness wear something Thai.
I don't understand why "great taste" has to equate to western tastes. A thai silk shirt, and simple slacks is fucking hawt. It makes me think of that stupid ass James Bond movie where he's in thailand and somebody offers him Fu-Yuk wine. And he winces at the name, you know, and then sips it, and gives his western "approval" of it 
Fuck that shit. Put on a sarong boy! | |

Fuck that shit. Put on a sarong boy! I wear those Thai style kaftans and whatnot all the time, and fisherman pants, so I wanted something different. I don't dress up a lot so a nice shirt and pair of pants were the order of the day. Plus Mon already bought a western style evening dress. I think I made a mistake with my clothes though. I also spent a lot by Thailand standards. I saw a shirt for 420 baht ($13) on sale but slightly preferred another one that was 1,600 baht ($50) and went for that one instead. This is all coming out of the money for the wedding but was never budgeted for.
I also bought another pair of flip-flops for the Phuket trip. | |

[Edited 9/12/07 19:41pm] I like that, but my budget wouldn't really have stretched to a jacket. I basically spent $95 and decided to wear shoes I already have. This was all an afterthought as we'd only really considered our clothes for the wedding day and something a bit more casual for part of the wedding photo package. | |
