It could be reasonably argued that the Banyan Tree's reputation was seriously compromised.

Serves him right, give him hard labour or even a real job, that would probably kill these "work shy " streamers, proffesional bloggers etc.

Based upon professional most who threaten to commit suicide rarely go through with it.  It's the quiet ones who usually carry things out into the great unknown.  

 

He will not get much sympathy or empathy from anyone (from Thai or Foreigner).  

Probably a good idea rather than going to the cook wearing the dancing gear.

By the live streamer or by hotel manager's reaction?

Seriously, do none of these people realise that they are in Thailand and the rules are different here?

Most ignorance is vincible ignorance. We don't know because we don't want to know.

Regardless of this guy's character, hypocrisy comes to mind on behalf of the Thais. They'd have something to complain about if it was like the UK, they allow them to go into schools to lecture children dressed like that.

I totally agree, I don't see any serious crime in this case. In Thailand they give jail time for offenses that in the West deserve only a fine... They are dangerously resembling Saudi Arabia...

The primary issue is that the authorities are not only completely devoid of morality themselves and utterly depraved, but when you add in the pathological desire to "appear" to be pure, moral and righteous, it creates a combustible mix, and an astonishing lack of sincerity. 

 

They seem to expend alot of effort pursuing those who do not deserve attention, nor prosecution, and they seem to go out of their way to avoid the real criminals, traffickers, army officials involved in drugs pushing, and crimes committed by wealthy and influential families.

He won't need to do that, surviving a Thai jail has quite a low chance, so the jail will possibly finish him off

Ill-informed cobblers, you have no idea what you are talking about.

If I found photos of myself dressed like that online I'd want to kill myself too.

To earn money from this work is also against his visa type in my opinion.

Yes, he does say to the hotel manager at one stage in the video that he "is working"!

He had even no right to broadcast the managers face to be exact. This special law is since 2022 in place and protects people.

Not "exact" at all, just nonsense, the PDPA does not cover that.

Do you think they were going door to door, or do you think the hotel called them?

 

Do you not think allowing streaming videos from hotels facilities human trafficking?

What a joke, the Thai police are so bloody hypocritical. Looks rather mild to me, so what if was live streaming, it doesnt look obscene to me and rather mild compared to what I have seen going on in BKK thats open to whoever wants to watch!

You seem to be, ridiculously, conflating authorised "entertainment zones" with seriously upmarket hotels/restaurants where what you go to see cannot be seen.

They were not in a private hotel room. they were in a private dining area of a hotel's restaurant, an area  which was accessible by the public and under the gaze of security cameras.

Well he can have some more fun if he ever does go to a Thai Prison!

It will serve him tight right IF it happens!

The fact that he said in the video that he "was working" as a reason to justify their behaviour, has been touched on.

Having fun in a beer bar is different than in a 5 star restaurant, where people pay the extra to avoid such entertainment, or even worse end up as part of the audence when live streaming.

No..... No further response deserved.

Sounds like a win, considering his history.

The only obscenity committed here, is the one done by the RTP. The level of pretense, the level of fake purity, the dumb and mindless application of laws here is beyond inane. 

 

What he was doing might be considered wierd by some. But, it was so utterly harmless. Women are getting abducted, raped and trafficked at this very moment, by Thai officials, and the police are pretending to be engaged in law enforcement. I seriously hope this results in just another omelette on the face of the rather useless RTP.

Wow thats quite a statement. Even moderators let it slip? It is as harmful as the action of the "influencer" , but .... For the matter with so called influencers, they always try to get beyond laws and then are surprised they get busted. Face the consequences. Lots of things and getting more and more will be punished. Dictatorship is thriving.
