They demanded action and jail terms. 

arent's they also stepping on Thai land with their feet? According to their childish, overly sensitive rule, every Thai and foreigner stepping foot on Thai land should be jailed. 

 

How about this solution: get all human feet amputated so no one could put their feet on anything Thai-related anymore. 

 

How ridiculous.

I dont think a few Numpties on Facebook represents anybody. Reporters like the gullible who bite at a non event.

The PM is now on Facebook. How dare you refer to him as a "Numptie". You should be expecting a knock on the door anytime soon.

Even if you live overseas Interpol will be informed and Big Joke will come and get you.

Parisian footwear with Thai flag colours triggers netizen outrage

By The Nation, 
The Thaiger

Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has ordered the Foreign Ministry and concerned agencies to look into fashion footwear from Paris incorporating the colours of the Thai flags into its design, after it caused outrage among some social media users.

 

“But I don’t know what and if we can do,” said General Prayut on Tuesday. “We have the National Flag Act to enforce but the colours [red, white and blue] are universal.” 

 

In other countries, use of their national flag is not an issue but for Thailand the flag represents nation, religion and monarchy, the premier said. 

 

Some on Thai social media have been all in a lather over the weekend after photos of the shoes, with straplets in red, white and blue, appeared on the Vogue Paris Facebook page. 

 

The combination of the Thai flag and human feet is a contentious cultural cocktail for Thais.

 

Some netizens expressed anger and even outrage, as well as demanding apologies and jail sentences for the perpetrators.

 

A Thai Flag Museum spokesperson in Thailand points out that no one has a copyright on the flag’s colours or the order they’ve been displayed in. 

 

Furthermore, the designers could not be prosecuted as the shoes were made and displayed outside Thailand. They could only be in trouble if the offence was committed in Thailand.

 

But if the shoes were made or worn in Thailand, people could potentially face a fine of Bt2,000 or a year in jail.

Article 44 - immediately and without any further delay.


Ever seen those American birds in US-Flag Bikini and mono-mini outfits? 

All this in a country, where go-go bar girls wear nothing but a Santa cap, cape or anything else (rather little though) which is not a national issue but more of a religious issue .........

Homework not done, keep on protesting, you retarded snouts!

Thai rules with feet are kind of a double-standard.

 

Point your feet at anyone, or step over someone and it is serious shit. 

 

But if youre an idle mocy taxi driver, food cart vendor that just mashed some girls somtum, or anyone else chilling outside, sitting massaging your bare feet with your hands is ok.  Also OK is wearing open-toed shoes/sandals at the office.  Crocs and those horrendous Fitflop sandals at the office are another story.

 

Some Thais wear sandals so often their feet are all old and worn out looking, pretty gross.  I know its hot, but putting on some shoes sometimes would really help everyone.

This is just one of the more depressingly ridiculous Thai stories.

But fear not playmates, pretty sure by next week something equally ludicrous will come along to make you all shake your heads with incredulity .

It's one of Thailand's most reliable features!

O'h my God!! the damn white devil has also stolen their flag????

Yup. I've seen the Union Jack (UK), Stars and Stripes (USA), Swastika (Nazi Germany); revered, festooned, sat upon, drapped on sofas, used as cushion coverings, sewn on pants bottoms...you name it. They have little to squak about.
