Karaoke chaos: Scout’s dishonour as bar’s Girl Scout-themed staff raises eyebrows

[webfact]

 

A karaoke bar in the Sattahip district of Chon Buri province has come under public scrutiny after images of its staff dressed as Girl Scouts surfaced online.

 

The incident, which was initially justified as a birthday theme, sparked widespread criticism, prompting the individuals involved to apologise to the public and vow that such an event would not happen again.

 

The controversy erupted when pictures of female karaoke employees donning Girl Scout uniforms, traditionally worn by young girls, began circulating on social media.

 

The images were reportedly taken at a karaoke bar located in the Thanon Thong Thip community, Sattahip. An individual who claimed to have close ties with a senior police officer was found to be behind the incident. Further investigations revealed that the individual was an employee of the karaoke bar.

 

The online uproar led to local law enforcement officers uncovering the identities of the women involved. At 11pm yesterday, Police Lieutenant Colonel Panya Damlek, station chief of Sattahip Police, ordered his officers to locate and detain all the women involved.

Charged under The scout act 2008. 

Might as well get some use out of the uniforms they were forced to buy at school. So no girl guides anymore? only scouts, dip dip dob dob.

What about nurses, immigration uniforms might be a hit

It is of utmost importance to maintain the moral character of the nation. These kinds of stunts, with adults wearing the uniforms of young girls, can lead to perversion and unhealthy desires. Purity is tantamount. Lock up these women. It will lead to moral control, something the RTP are experts on.

Unaware that wearing Girl Scout uniforms constituted an offence, she apologized to society and promised that 

next time they would wear a bureaucrats' white dress uniform with lots of medals.

Waiting for the uproar on hello kitty outfits, stickers, ears and everything else imaginable

IMO Scout uniforms are strange for students… why ? Are they being trained for military duty.. 

normal school uniforms are understandable..

I Love a woman in a uniform,

It seems to me some people have too much free time on their hands. I see nothing wrong in some fantasy play. To me the people who complain about this need to get a life and stay out of other people's lives.

'bout time for a dress code and proper haircut for bar girls in compliance with law and order.

[khunjeff]

"they were charged under the Scout Act of 2008, section 64. The act stipulates that anyone who dresses in a scout uniform or displays scout symbols without permission, leading others to believe they are authorised to do so, is subject to a maximum penalty"

 

As usual, the authorities ignore the key part of the law, which is meant to stop people from fraudulently presenting themselves as scouts. I don't think anyone was led to believe that these women were actually scouts... ????

Couldn't agree more!  what a load of buffalo manure

[Gandtee]

Were they prepared? 'Close ties to a senior police official'? No, never. They are as pure as the driven snow. I forgot. We don't have snow in Thailand.????

There was a news article a few months ago when some Chinese tourist wore actual Thai school uniforms, they made headlines and were warned they could be fined.

 

Student Uniform Act, BE 2551 (2008)

 

Any person who wears a student uniform without authorisation or wears any cloth similar to a student uniform, for the purpose of deceiving another into believing him to be a student, shall be liable to a fine not exceeding one thousand baht.

50 years in the general slammer, no private hospital suite with not one but two fans ....... the works!

The BiB deserve a medal, or give 'em two for a really good job done. 

What do people think happens in these karaoke dungeons? The main money spinner is neither booze nor singing - me thinks ???? 

And school uniforms are taken off so much faster than all that fancy stuff; after all the girls have spent years in these terrible outfits which combine dreadful designs, the poorest of poor fabric quality with unmet high pricing!
