Captain Monday Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 (edited) She didn't mean to insult Buddhists she and her photogs are ignorant.I have called out westerners use as decorations and worse they don't understand and get defensive. Supposedly a real Buddha bar exists in Tokyo where you can get pearls of wisdom from Japanese Buddhist priests with your alcoholic libations, in moderation. Has a letter of complaint been sent to the Ambassador? So much from the latest outrage. This "beauty" will get an education when she comes to Thailand. https://www.npr.org/2011/12/29/143804448/the-real-buddha-bar-tended-by-tokyo-monks Edited February 23, 2021 by Captain Monday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solinvictus Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 8 hours ago, Patong2021 said: Are you really so ignorant of Thailand's history and culture that you sexualize an innocent image and interpret it from the sexually screwed up mindset of a farang? Have you not made an effort to understand the local historical culture? Long before Europeans with their repressed and deviant sexual mores arrived in Asia, Africa and the South Pacific, the locals went around topless. Female breasts were not sexual objects as they were in Christian countries. In plain language, that is an image common of ancient Siam and features a woman of some wealth. Above is mural paintings inside Wat Kaew, Chiang Rai. This is how women dressed in old Siam. It is not pornography. Topless women were common up until the 1930's. What the Mexican woman did was wrong because she sexualized a religious icon. It is no different than defiling religious imagery and symbols of the Christian faith. The Mexican government would have been up in arms if she had posed lustfully with a larger than life size religious icon of the Church of Rome. I take it you also are against pictures of Muhammad? PBUH ???? Pretty much the same. I also don't think you can assume the Mexican GOV would do as you say. Maybe their society has matured enough for it to not be that big of an issue?

Popular Post Krisnow Posted February 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 23, 2021 I used to be a Zen monk in the past. Buddhism is not a RELIGION, but a path to realisation. the fact that it became a religion, and that Buddha became a 'God' offends his memory. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misunderstanding? It obviously was. She clearly had no intention to offend Thais or Thailand. Rather, the opposite. In fact we can see that she's very excited about travelling to Thailand and wanted to relate to something she could find that looked Thai-ish in Mexico. There isn't much. What was she supposed to do, pose in front of a plate of Mexican style pad Thai? 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
