Good luck to you, I wish I had your enlightenment.

L-i-T: I teach at a government university and while I like my students to be dressed in whatever they please, I always dress in 'appropriate' attire.

I soon realised (and I've been teaching for nearly 10 years) that the students, whatever they are allowed to wear, have more respect for a teacher wearing more formal clothes. It's the way they've been conditioned, like it or not. I wouldn't feel comfortable teaching them in jeans and a t-shirt, and I don't think that they would either.

Just a thought: How do the Thais react when you turn up to your seminars in casual clothes?
