Five years ago, I bought 2 pairs of Thai fisherman pants from this little stand among the bustling thousands at the Chiang Mai night market. I’ve never worn them because … well, I didn’t know how to wear them. Now I do.
I have a plain red pair and a really pretty black pair with embroidery and beading. And they were cheap, cheap, cheap. Man, I loved Thailand!
So two questions:
~ Would I be a weirdo if I wore my fisherman pants around in daily life? Please know your answer will not deter me, I just want to know what I will be labeled, you see.
~ And, can we set up the SYC in Thailand? We’ll travel other places, of course. I mean, we have the crochet bus, the gypsy caravans, the cool motor home, the art boats. Plenty of modes of travel. But I say first stop is Chiang Mai! We’ll drink lassis and I’ll take you to Pop Am where you can eat and eat and eat for two bucks American. (We’ll give Jayne a break.)
Oh, and for dessert is an ice cream treat called Pygmy Boy.
I am not kidding.
I think it’d be way cool to wear the fisherman pants in everyday life.
I agree with sarahk. Also, we love Thai food around here, and keep a supply of homemade Thai curry pastes in the freezer. I’d be perfectly happy to share with the SYC. 🙂
I like ’em. I’m thinking sandals would go well. 🙂
I must know if you have a cute bellybutton before I give my consent. 🙂
