George FmplesdaCosteedback Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 The UK Daily Mail reported today Phuket International Airport deputy chief Wichit Kaeothaithiam last week said: "Taking photos at the nearby Mai Khao Beach will soon be illegal". He continued: "Under tough new rules beach goers who take photos on the beach risk being slapped with hefty fines or could be sentenced to death. The maximum penalty is the death sentence," he said. So not just no smoking or drinking when you sunbathe, take a picture and face execution in Phuket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bendejo Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 In San Francisco's Chinatown, in days of yore, one of the shops that sold all sorts of souvenir junk sold hats like this The place was run by a miserable old couple. There were a bunch of signs around the store saying "DO NOT PUT ON HAT TO TAKE PICTURE!" There were at least 3 such signs just on the shelf with the hats. Of course, when walking by the place myself and smart-arsed friends would dare each other "hey! put one of those hats on and I'll take your picture!" Maybe this guy in Phuket is a relative.
