No mate, this is not exactly what they meant by "Traditional Thai-style Songkran"

Culture watchdogs in Phuket want a word with a Thai man who was filmed dancing in Patong in shorts.

 

The bare-chested man is seen writhing provocatively while another person - believed to be a lady boy - comes up and smears some powder on his genital area, reported Manager.

 

 

The was not what the authorities had in mind when they called for a traditional Thai Songkran full of family values and old period costumes.

 

Though there was no nudity involved they are looking for the man - and the poster - for some Thai attitude adjustment and possible punishment.

 

 

Manager added that the footage was shared across social media by a public split between saying how inappropriate this was and others who just said it was entertainment in an entertainment area....get over yourselves.

Much adoo about nothing.....

[johng]

More "twerking" inappropriately   

Didn't the "democratic soldier"  declare only 3 twerks per song or something like that ?

Let's all be thankful and burn incense due to the fact he is not a farrang.

It's spelt "farang" in my dictionary but the meaning is clear enough.

Why must it be a ladyboy!  It could have been his sister looking for a toothpick!

Thank goodness it wasnt a farang given the shape and condition of most

[naboo]

As a man, I am deeply offended at the degradation of the image of the male body in these photographs.

[Prairieboy]

The old 'double standard' - if this was a sexy lady dancing in her underwear how much criticism would be levelled at the 'performer'?  Would have been Thai baht instead of powder in the crotch area!

It could be Thai traditional medicine for prickly heat.

ahh, you love to bash an expat farang don't you. what do you mean by the shape and condition of most? it really depends on where you hang out i guess. you'll find alot of bars and clubs in bkk are full of young well dressed farangs who are in good shape.

[lockyv7]

wonder if he joined the #metoo being touched like that

 

[anon4637435435]

I think every guy western or whatever shouldnt be dancing in underwear full stop. Arrest the lot with priority for those hotter than myself.

Oh im doing a prayut....

 

[holy cow cm]

So what. Lock Big P up first.

What normal guy wants to see or take a photo of another topless guy? UUUUUUGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!

[Dogmatix]

This definitely not consistent with the official image of Songkran being people dressed up in costumes from the current period drama soap opera hit pouring small flasks of scented water over their elders' hands.

 

Worst of all this is clearly a job that could be done by a Thai national.  

[AsiaHand]

The BIB just wanted their turn at "copping a feel".

[irishken]

Anytime i see this Thai attitude adjustment as punishment, i always think of the Simpsons and the one where Homer is brought in for some re-neducation of Ned Flanders. 

 

[wirat69]

Looks Asian rather than Western.... Guess a guy with enough balls to dance like that could not be Thai!!! hahahahahahahah

[Thechook]

Gets a warning for such an obscene public act, but another farang last year gets a 5k baht fine for simply having his shirt off.
