More like, I was going over to get a better look when she got down of her own accord".

 

All this hypocrisy about religious beliefs and culture.  Songkran is supposed to be about pouring water over the hands of your elders to show respect, but it's now just a water free-for-all, where scores of people die every year; doesn't seem to be much respect being shown there, when the main revellers have been to the temple in the morning, then spend the rest of the day causing mayhem with their water pistols and buckets of ice.

 

Take a photo of a young woman (Who no doubt would have been wearing knickers) sitting on a temple wall, and Armageddon looms!

 

Hypocrisy at its best!

I beg to differ. Holiest site is whitted out

what? there are other people in the world besides me?

 

this whole temple was not built for me so I can take photos of myself?

 

I do this sort of thing in Moscow all the time.

 

I really very much doubt that any Russian girl would do this in a church in Moscow. Decent people of all nationalities know, or SHOULD know that holy places, of all religions or nations are to be respected.

I'd pop some stang in that donation box.

Good grief.....even the Buddhist monk, who was photographed in BKK "knocking one out" on the front seat of the bus, was said to be  outraged beyond belief !!!

...don't just sit there airing it out do something with it.....555

??? maybe giving it a good airing out was step one in doing something else with it

 

that said.... the actual picture being taken by the man that was being posed for.... would probably have been a nice picture

 

the problem however, seems to be that a sneaky bugger with another camera, was lucky enough to be in the right spot to get a pervy up skirt sneaky pic... lucky pervy bugger, hey?

 

anyway... I’m to busy being outraged at the things done by Buddhists, to worry about things that outrage Buddhists.

Reminds me of a movie watched as a small child:  Olga's Clam Show

Many self centered characters and stoic faces. The critics said it really stunk.

Not a valid comparison. She is on holiday - I doubt she packed her church outfit. It is hot here, so she wore something light, and, when standing, a respectable ankle length dress. She simply wanted a beautiful holiday photo, and I doubt she was thinking "Hey, perfect opportunity to show off my beaver and disrespect Thailand and it's people". The problem is the slit in the dress, and for all we know the wind unexpectedly blew it open for a moment, or she didn't anticipate it slipping open. We see her foot raised, so it is entirely possible that it was just a moment, and the moment it happened, realizing the mistake, she made haste to get down. And possibly, she would have politely apologized to anyone who had asked "What were you thinking?" And people still wonder why I refuse to have a Facebook account...

How do you know she wasn't wearing panties? Has anyone seen the unrated version?

Still waiting as I do not wish to rush judgment.

Do the "affronted" Thai people, affronted because of the stupid antics of foreign tourists, ever ask themselves how many times foreign tourists are angry about the antics of Thai people.

Nobody was "affronted". The guy taking the photo was sexually aroused and feigned "shock" to appease his jealous girlfriend (it's quite likely he went to the temple bathroom to finish off LOL). The guys commenting negatively on Facebook were just upset they didn't get to see a blonde tourist's real beaver and the girls were jealous of all the attention. 555555

Smells fishy

Despicable? No, not really.

 

Stupid and culturally insensitive? Certainly.

 

Thailand, the answer is simple. If you do not want to see culturally-insensitive actions, then close the sights and lose the revenue/monies.

 

Easy. And no more outrage.

 

 

So keeping culturally important historic sites open for the vast majority of decent intelligent tourists who manage to go there without acting stupidly, insensitively or rudely, isn't important to you?

 

May not be your intention but your post smacks of Western superiority - "put up with our behavior or close up shop".

 

Maybe you'd like to see that apply to all countries that attract tourists?

I think I can just make out nipples in that photo....

It's a shame she couldn't have done it the Thai way and really given everyone an excuse to be "outraged".

Yes it brings the outrage into perspective, plus he is probably an Abbot by now

ooooh! "land of false smiles!"

LOL> they never smile if they aren't happy, so if you happen to see a smile, it's quite genuine.

They not offended as much by monks doing sex drug parties do they...

She was posing for her boyfriend so leave it alone .

There is a lot of things despicable in Thailand but selling their daughter for prostitution is ok.

"My eyes just about popped out of their sockets when I saw this" and "Wanton" (buy a dictionary - Google Translate rarely gets it right ).  - most hypocritical people I have ever come across 

Buddhism is about peace. But those fanatics are always angry, outraged and butthurt

Perhaps the spotlight should be turned on those who keep trying to take upskirt photos. This is the second this week, following the son of a hiso Thai who found himself in big trouble in London.

 

Btw, shouldn't this thread be in the Bangkok subforum?

Farang tourists be farang tourists. However, I did know a Thai girl who confided to me (she could never tell a Thai) that she and her Thai boyfriend once found a small room in Wat Arun with no one around and there she lost her virginity. Always smile about that when I see the Wat or pictures thereof.

that is total sacrilege   not something i would expect from any thai girl

Hence she could tell no other Thai. Yep, Thais can defy stereotypes . . . it's amazing what can go on behind the scenes--part of what makes Thailand so interesting.

I didn't realise you arrived in Thailand yesterday, otherwise you should have know better.
