yamanid Posted April 20, 2017 #1 Share Posted April 20, 2017 While walking around or on Tour in ASIA PORTS would you be wearing shorts? - as every photo I see, people are in jeans or long trousers and tees Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philob Posted April 20, 2017 #2 Share Posted April 20, 2017 While walking around or on Tour in ASIA PORTS would you be wearing shorts? - as every photo I see, people are in jeans or long trousers and tees Thanks Shorts are okay, but not short-shorts. If you're in the tropical climates, you'll be miserable in jeans. Loose fit cotton pants are good. I wear convertible pants (the kind that you can zip off the pants leg and back on if needed). When visiting religious sites like temples you may be required to cover up bare shoulders and legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoyaheel Posted April 21, 2017 #3 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I wore dresses (knee or maxi depending on our plans) and my husband alternated between longer shorts and full length pants (linen or wicking). Definitely pants in Thailand due to the year of mourning and for the temple dress codes.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diane.in.ny Posted April 21, 2017 #4 Share Posted April 21, 2017 A skirt or long pants. I have a couple of supplex quick dry slacks that I take with me and they work well in hot weather. They are available on Amazon and other sites selling travel clothing. You could also wear capris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobar Posted April 21, 2017 #7 Share Posted April 21, 2017 While walking around or on Tour in ASIA PORTS would you be wearing shorts? - as every photo I see, people are in jeans or long trousers and tees Thanks We're finishing a month in Asia, mostly cities, in Japan, Korea & China. It's been quite cool so we've been wearing jeans and sweaters, even jackets (puffy lightweight, anorak and leather). For one warm port (actually hot and humid), knee length shorts and t-shirts. Athleisure also works well and is functional for lots of walking. Our dress was consistent with that of fellow passengers as well as other tourists. So let the weather be your guide and wear what you would wear in any city or town in your own country. Sent from my dogs' iPad using TapaBark.

4774Papa Posted April 23, 2017 #8 Share Posted April 23, 2017 While walking around or on Tour in ASIA PORTS would you be wearing shorts? - as every photo I see, people are in jeans or long trousers and tees Thanks ASIA is huge, many ports in the Middle East, India, SE Asia, China, Japan, Indonesia, Philippines and more. The ports in the Middle East and India where it is really hot most of the time, you still need to dress conservatively because of the local religious customs on dress (Islam and Hindu). It was ironic that in the hottest countries, we could not wear shorts due to that. Many tours in Asia will involve going into a temple of some kind, where more conservative dress is required. Japan and China are not as bad, but some temples still have that policy. Check your tours and tour guides for guidance. Jeans are way to hot for these areas. I wear kakis.

iancal Posted April 23, 2017 #9 Share Posted April 23, 2017 We spent three winters (Jan-March) in SE Asia. Two to three months at a time. Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Malaysia. We wore shorts most of the time. Had a pair of light weight Dockers but seldom wore them except on airplanes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
