Tourist or expat, this Hungarian I'm sure didn't know that touching a pipefish was illegal.

Yes, folk snorkel/dive to mingle with the undersea wildlife, a reason why we learn about the creatures there.

you can mingle all you like ... just don't try to be a Jacques Cousteau and paste it all over social media

How do you think people start out in their quest for knowledge, how do you think Cousteau started out, do you think a fish swing through your hand was never done, do you think this blokes fish perished or was damaged in any way, I don't think so................... :whistling:

I think you misunderstood what I meant .....  in my opinion,   touch, kiss, handle,  rub...  any thing you like under the water while diving ....  just don't put it on social media .....       we don't know all the silly rules in Thailand.

yeah, the world is hard to understand sometimes, isn't it? Ever hear the phrase protected/endangered species? Look it up and you'll find explanations why no one is allowed to approach or interact with them. Might be over your head, though. Like climate change.

Oh please, were many Thai nationals really outraged? This seems to be a stock phrase often used in news reports about events in Thailand.  I assume that it's The Pattaya News that is the guilty party.  Quite frankly, I expect most Thai nationals couldn't give a fig.....

Nobody even knows about it in my province
