    The Joy of Socks

    Socks.

    Are you getting enough? I'm not.

    Does anyone know where to get decent socks in Thailand?

    Oh sure, there's bargain basement street corner socks. The use 'em and throw 'em away socks that are so disdained by the more well-heeled, but what I need is a good quality sock. A really nice pair.

    Cotton or wool, none of this polyester "business sock" malarkey. I need my feet caressed by blissful satisfying sock. The full sock experience.

    Anyone?

    Work in the night time, I
    Might not ever get home

    The interminable biohazard landfill is full of socks.

    Sometime they stray over here...

    Never could find either (wool or cotton) even in BKK. I brought back a life time supply on my last visit to the states. Have you got anybody in the west who can mail you a care package?

    They tend to keep better if you put them in an ice box.

    I serious issue, and one I am very glad you raised. One of the main problems I find with socks is that they are either extreme right or extreme left. There seems to be no happy middle ground. That and the fact that religion seems to be the achellies heel for many socks and they often find themselves to be holy (i know i know)

    I thought I did that too. They seem to evaporate in the heat.

    Might have to go native. These seem popular:

    I got cotton socks from JJ market. The downside is they are too tight even though they purported to be suitable for size 9.

    Marks and Spencer will cater to your every desire. There's no point in wearing cheap socks. Like wearing cheap shoes, it really is a false economy. (They also sell underwear )

    Tried Robinson's today.

    Some monstrosity called ''Carson's'' has cornered the Thai market.

    Fucking useless, to put it politely.

    Bring on ASEAN... Maybe we can import French-influenced socks?
