Today I’ve got another funny travel photo from from Karolina and Patryk who run KarolinaPatryk.com about some rather long fingernails they spotted on their trip to Thailand.
You can follow them on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
They recently sent me the really cool Adventure Motorcycle from Vietnam, the potty training tips from China, and the very funny Feeding the Pigeons sign from Bangkok in Thailand.
But today, this one is for the ladies out there who are frustrated about growing those long fingernails naturally to make their hands look more feminine, so they have to resort to the fake ones instead!
Anyway, have a look at these insanely long fingernails they managed to get a strange photo of! Not exactly practical travel fashion!
Long Fingernails – when they become somewhat impractical!
Anyway, Karolina and Patryk say ‘we spotted this guy with super long nails on the ferry to Koh Samui (where my friend stayed in a unque AirBNB) in Thailand. In Asia they think that a man with long nails is attractive because he doesn’t need to work physically. so this guy must be very rich, haha’.
I’m not really sure of the cultural reasons behind this, but apparently growing a very long fingernail on the small finger of the right hand is meant to show prosperity. But I think this guy was taking it just a little bit too far!
He’s probably the most prosperous guy in Thailand judging by the length of fingernails on his hand!
If what they believe is true, I’m thinking of growing my finger nails as long as I can possibly stand them just so this brings millions of dollars into my bank account so I can spend the rest of my days as a professional backpacker!
However, after having a look at this photo, having really, really long fingernails like this has a lot of drawbacks, like:
- How do you pick your nose with fingernails like this?
- Itchy? Which finger do you use to scratch?
- It would take forever to send a SMS to someone when tapping on the mobile phone
- Hope you don’t have to wear contact lenses!
- You can’t pull up the zipper on your jeans
- You end up chopping your fingernails off instead when you’re trying to slice your vegetables for dinner
- There’s no way in the world you would ever be able to join together a necklace!
- You can’t pull anyone’s cheeks – you’ll just scratch the hell out of them!
- There’s no way you can open a jar, wear gloves, or even use a key to open the door
- You can’t even press delete to get rid of this silly post!
However, if the theory of having long fingernails to attract prosperity of true, you can just pay someone to do all of this stuff for you!
Those are some crazy nails … maybe his friends should end the practical joke and tell him the real meaning/requirements of that custom! 😛
Ha, maybe!
I don’t know but seeing men with longer nails than mine is less attractive to me but that just me. Maybe in Thailand it’s different. Haha.
its so sexy! espcially only a Long Little fingernail. i do love it.
