Work on the Thai nose shop

Many Isan ladies are cursed with it: the typical Thai pug nose. That means a fairly flat bridge of the nose, broad nostrils and a somewhat convex tip.

Although it doesn't bother me, many Thai women hate their noses. Preference is given to a Western model. This mainly means narrower nostrils and a raised nasal bridge.

The beauty ideal of Thai women is fairly simple: a fluffy western nose, a creamy white skin color and blue eyes. Another aspect that Thai women, with some envious looks towards farang ladies, lack is a large breast.

Luke Kreung

Thai commerce jumps in handy. For example, you can buy all kinds of creams with brighteners for your skin. These bleaches are even in deodorant. The bleaching cult is rampant. Add a set of blue lenses and you're well on your way to transforming into a Luk Kreung, or half-blooded Thai.

Heavier guns must be used for noses and breasts: a surgical knife. A perky nose is easily arranged at one of the many private clinics that Thailand rich. Pay attention to the brochures in your mailbox: 'Rhinoplasty' now for half price! Or two noses for the price of one guess.

Renovating

Okay, but now back to the Thai nose issue. In addition to the beauty ideal, a little bridge of the nose is also useful for your sunglasses. I can understand raising it. It also doesn't seem to cost much for 25.000 baht and your nose will be pointed in the right direction. However, my biggest fear is always that once you agree to a small adjustment, it usually results in a major renovation. Just like at home, you start with a new wallpaper and before you know it she wants a completely new interior, plus a dormer window, an attached kitchen and a double garage.

To walk next to a completely renovated girlfriend is not an attractive prospect for me. I already have enough plastic at home. And those pug noses? Oh, they're just cute.

    Quite right !!
    I fell on my wife (figuratively) because of her Thai appearance. Fortunately, she doesn't have that urge to renovate(s) at all.
    Also actually quite entertaining: western women do their very best to get a nice tan and also costs a few things such as sun vacation, etc.

    That of 10000 baht is for a silicone nose, no, you really don't get it for that.
    Nowadays you have to pay 20000 baht for that, I have seen it with my own eyes and an ENT doctor regularly had an inflamed ear.
    Saw the ladies count down 20000 baht for a bigger nose, but also saw that one came in, it had gone completely wrong with another ENT doctor in BKK.
    It was as crooked as the tower of Pisa in the face so no face she came for a correction at my ENT doctor.

    "Pure nature", without medical "renovations" is my personal preference!
    I fell in love with my Thai wife's character, her dark eyes playing an important part in our first contact. Her well-groomed appearance, without extra filler and paint work, and her pleasant voice were the reason for a beautiful friendship to grow into a beautiful love story that still continues.

    In this case, I want this to be because of eating (too much) sticky rice. Just tease them!
    Incidentally, this is simply called the "flatfaces" in Japan, characteristic of the Asian.

    When I came to Brazil more often, I was often asked if I was sick, because I looked so white. After a longer holiday of four weeks there I had a flight to Thailand and a Thai colleague I had known for some time looked at me and said: Jack, what happened to you? You look so ugly, so brown!

    I really can't understand why so many people want to change their appearance. My wife does not use much whiteners and she will also tolerate a slightly darker skin color because of me, but she also thinks white is better…

    And her nose? She is often asked if she has had it plastically altered, because she has a nice nose – not a whopper like many Western women have, but slightly more voluminous than many Thai ladies have… the kind of nose that many women here in Thailand are jealous of ...to kiss.

    The best renovation is no renovation. Keep it natural!

    I know a number of ladies through my wife who have had their noses narrowed and it looks good on them.

    Furthermore, not one has felt the need to have further renovation work carried out. That is to say, with the exception of a lady who, at the insistence of her boyfriend, got huge breasts because he absolutely adores them. She has now also had some plastic surgery performed at her own wish, but I cannot say that the result is blinding.

    Incidentally, as far as breasts are concerned, nature has caused favorable changes, partly due to a changed diet. About 30 years ago cup A was still the most sold size, but this has now largely been taken over by cup B and even, but to a lesser extent, cup C.

    Cup B usually contains firm breasts of more than a handful and I believe that is what most men prefer. By the way, a natural breast feels much nicer than a batch of silicone.

    Just give me pure nature. It's a shame to have something done to your nose. But apparently the grass is greener on the other side. Westerners tan or apply tanning creams, Asians go for a lighter skin (because then you don't work on the land but somewhere indoors or not at all).

    Everyone has their own taste. I have to admit that I prefer the somewhat lighter skin to a really dark shade. Preferably no milk bottles or browned. But what really counts is someone's personality and a click. And if your boyfriend or girlfriend really wants to go under the knife after properly taking the risks / consequences, then that's their choice. We are all in charge of our own bodies.

    Years ago I visit the clinic of the plastic surgeon in Udon Thani; I had skin cancer cut away from my nose and the stitches had to be removed. So to his clinic in the heart of the city.

    Come in and .. there are twenty Thai young ladies and damn, not the ugliest! Pretty girls with everyone on their laps.. no, not a child but an ice bucket and every 2 minutes a cold piece of cloth comes out and they treat the nose with it.

    I put on the glasses and yes, they had had a farang nose built. Real or silicone? I didn't ask about that, but I did ask what it had cost.

    The surgery was done at Udon AEK hospital and I am told cost from 30 to 40 k baht. AEK Udon is not the cheapest. Not even ten years ago.

    But honestly, the noses were 'From the salmon' and well worth the cost.

    In most cases I don't like those nose jobs, they just don't suit the face….some have such a huge bet that they can smoke a cigar in the shower! Just accept what you have and don't be fooled by people who are often even more insecure………on TV, in the shops everywhere you see that craziness here……Asians want to look like a Westerner (nose, hair, eyes, skin color) and the Westerner wants a nice tan……….I like to be outside and like to swim yes then that tan comes naturally but not that I do it for it, it happens to me………………my girlfriend has a normal nose and a nice dark shade and that would supposedly lower her status……….I always say…….nice and important what they think…….just give a shit. I often say there is already so much fake here you stay nice and pure that keeps it in balance a bit.

    My mother used to say a good frontage adorns the whole house and she probably did that to reassure me in childhood. I was at the front when handing out. I had my nose broken in a car accident and so there was work to be done. Is now nice and straight and is in proportion according to experts. Very reassuring and everyone sees themselves in their own way. Satisfaction with the appearance is not an issue for many. But yes we didn't make ourselves and will have to do with it. I think that a nose gives a certain individuality to the face and that can therefore be done in different shapes and or proportions. You can also see this with floppy ears, which can also be seen by many Asians. Apparently people are less negative about that.

    The nose in question is a typical Khmer nose. Thai and Lao don't have a pug nose either.
    The pug nose and high cheekbones are what the Khmer is recognized by. So it has nothing to do with Thai.

    Although everyone is naturally born the way nature determines, there are noses everywhere in this world in all kinds of sizes and shapes.
    I also do not think that most Thai women will have problems with a typical Thai nose, which can also be quite beautiful in our eyes, but rather the excessive shapes where one can immediately see that nature has not done its best work here.
    Just like in Western countries, where people have surgery because the nose is crooked or not a nice shape, this will also be increasingly the case in Thailand.
    The Thai nose that causes the most problems for some Thai women is an extremely flat nose, which is also often called "Tsjamuk mai mie dang" in Thai (gives the impression that there is almost no nasal bone)
    The nasal bone, whether or not visible, is so minimal or not available at all that not even glasses find support on the nose, so that further problems such as oxygen intake cannot be ruled out.
    Apart from the fact that I can understand that many women / men do not find this beautiful or practical, I fully understand that people also want to improve this nose surgically in terms of shape.

    I remember that I was on holiday in Phuket with my (isan) girlfriend and I pointed out to the barmaid
    said ;you can see by her flat nose that she comes from the isan.
    Whether this is typical something from the Isan I wouldn't know?
    At the Khorat plateau there are still ruins of foothills of Agkhor Wat, hence perhaps the Khmer influences.
    (see Henry).

    My Chaantje has a pretty original nose from her father, of which many wonder if it is "crafted".
    In Ned we speak of a “small breeding”
    She herself is a chocolate of 47 years old and has no problem with that. I fell on that.
    Her breasts are the desired size, because I have small hands.
    That also means that they are still in the place where they budded.
    So we are both happy.

    What started as a joke for me, became reality later in the evening. I promised one a new nose (was 9000 baht at the time) and soon several ladies came forward for a new nose. A few beers later I promised ladies a new nose. Appointed day later in the morning and they were waiting nicely. We went to Sri Racha and in the afternoon everyone had their turn. What did they look like. Blue eyes, very puffy noses and still working at night. Cost a bit, but was well worth it. All very happy after 3 weeks.

    As far as I know, many Thai girls have a certain “correction” on their schedule … I hear that regularly … my answer is always “you don't realize how beautiful you are, you don't need this at all” and that is usually the case …
    And yet they have this in mind .. and what comes more and more into the picture is Korea, because apparently that's where the specialists are! (not found on any response, weird)
    But who am I to take away their dreams? …
    Of course, if you see what they have made in Korea of ​​some “men” (in appearance) beautiful “girls” I can understand them, but as I said, who am I … and the question I keep asking myself “but why child? … but I also ask myself that question with some who start taking drugs with us or even worse.
    Unfortunately, worldwide, although it is cliché, we are still influenced too much by the media and bad entourage

    My Thai wife and also my daughter have a beautiful western nose(s). My wife got her father's nose, of which you would doubt on a picture of him (RIP) whether he is Thai. Her mother and sister have a bit more of the Thai nose, but certainly not the nose like the people in the north. My wife's family is from Central Thailand. Ayutthaya/Nongkhae/Saraburi. As far as her breast(s) are concerned, (of course.!) many Western women would be jealous.!! (cup 90/95) Just think of the song by Bart Van Den Bossche. (RIP) “The hills of Erica” !!

    Well, my Thai wife thinks my nose is great, while I just accept that it is there and looks the way it is. My fair skin is also admired, while I would think it could be a bit more colored, but my skin usually turns red from burning. Rarely brown, watch out for the sun.
    Her skin is light brown and if she turns darker, I have absolutely no problem with that, I think it's sexier.
    However, she sometimes makes an effort to prevent this, cover the window in the car, not in the sun and covering clothes. Even wants to walk in my shadow!
    If she (labor inspector) gets too tan, she is spoken to by the college that she's getting too tan! I then tell her to tell her that she has a white guy who thinks that's great.
    Status applies, it cannot and should not get too tanned, because then it actually applies that you work outside a lot and your job would be low. Not representative of her job either, well.

    Sometimes she thinks that some cosmetic procedures would suit her, but not for me.
    I think many women think that.
    I therefore show photos where that failed, geez I'm so bad 555.
    Well, it can turn out wrong.

    Status, just look at misses of Thailand, as white as possible. I'm sorry, but it's personal.
    In China they go even further. There, legs are sawn in half and stretched, they spend months in hospital for longer legs. Status, everything by Western standards..
