BangkokAlan Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 They should ask commuters on the MRT and BTS to take their backpacks off as well and place them on the floor, during peak times it can make the trains uncomfortable and every time they move left or right they hit someone with the backpack. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mother always said, feet firmly on the floor and knees together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

varun Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 (edited) One thing to note is that this request is probably from a "Buddhist" perspective, and less to do with encroachment of space. The foot is considered the dirtiest part of the body and people don't want to accidentally brush against it. So from that perspective, it is complete BS - they are probably disguising the actual motive under the pretext of "blocking the way" Edited April 29, 2022 by varun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To take an upskirt photo involving a sitting woman (or man) would require the 'photographer' to be down at floor level. And what can be seen on such photos......nothing!

Sydebolle Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Specially during rush hour, there is an increased risk for "women sitting with crossed legs being vulnerable to upskirt photography" - really? Why don't you get the esteemed passengers to move away from the doors inside the carriage - as a start - as well as ensuring immediate addition to rolling stock. Still better than submarines without engines or F-35 fighters, latter cannot accommodate the overflow of Bangkok's BTS. What a joke! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fondue zoo Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Do you think they have meetings to come up with these "announcements" and that there's always that one sketchy guy who at the end always wants to add something about "up-skirt photography"... because he just then thought about it..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as I thought I would get through the comments on a single post without anyone coming up with some desperately contrived way to bring submarines in to it..........and there you are. P.S. You forgot "dirty farangs" and "brown envelopes". You really must try harder if you want more likes from your fellow cliche posters.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
