Popular Post spidermike007 Posted November 30, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 30, 2023 Such silliness. Alot of this fake purity likely originates from the government. The goons in charge are focusing their efforts in all the wrong areas. They are trying to make Thailand a Quaker State. A land of purity. Total BS. Nonsense. Misplaced priorities, and wasted efforts. And likely completely fake and hypocritical. No doubt these terribly misguided fools are trying to rid Thailand of one of its most popular attractions. The nightlife. People love sexy. You cannot deny that. Making a big deal over something like this is just churlish and silly. 7 4 1 1 3 4 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

connda Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Where in Thailand can you erect a stage and put on a performance that isn't within some invisible, morality-dripping, boundary that abhors 'scantily dressed performers?' Put a stage up in a Thai village - there is a Buddhist temple. Put a stage up in any Khet in a major or minor city, and there is/are a Buddhist temple(s). This is a nothing burger. Average people don't care. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post richard_smith237 Posted November 30, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 30, 2023 I've been to this area and it operates under its own pseudo shariah law.... with all the puritanical hypocrisy that comes with it. The Malay colleagues I was with had to 'pretend' they were non-muslim Indonesians just to be allowed into a restaurant which served beer. I don't see a peaceful culturally rich environment when I visit such places... I see fear and repression... people fear persecution for not conforming... I'm surprised the girls got as far as stage without a hijab. 7 1 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post wealthychef Posted November 30, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 30, 2023 People like this give Malaysia and Islam a bad name. Some Christians and Jews are similarly anal about their weird beliefs. I appreciate Buddhists because they aren't so damned serious about their ideas. I appreciate Thailand because people don't honk when traffic is bad, they laugh when things go sideways, and are willing to be humble most of the time, at least in public. 2 1 2 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post animatic Posted November 30, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 30, 2023 They were hardly scantily clad. I am far more concerned with the fact this dame who can’t even find the songs key is out there ruining the field of music, than the girl dancing in a skirt showing some tummy. 3rd rate show and half-competent dancers dressed like they’re going to the mall. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cedel Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 What a hypocrisy ! Many men recorded and took plenty of pics for their collection... Nothing really sexy here, 'nothing new in Thailand., it has always been like that for all the concerts that I have seen or heart about in Thailand, a young girl dancing and singing is sexy by nature, nothing new, and in some other shows, singers or dancers are wayyy more sexy and suggestive, there are very sexy coyotees also , and by the way, why not offend at the overly sexy girls hunting customers or seducing guys in the disco's not only in Pattaya or Phuket but everywhere in Thailand including in Bkk. not to mention the go-go bars where they sometimes are topless or nude.. (and I forgot the ping-pong shows) 😉...! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackbenimble Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 the dancers at these Thai concerts in the provinces are often described as sexy and scantily clad - I have never understood why scantily clad is used to describe them though because they are never actually scantily clad! Even my wife describes them as sexy and scantily clad so it's clearly an Isaan thing to do that..........to what end though escapes me. The dancers in Ying Lees' famous pop video are also NOT scanitly clad but are described so. If they actually were scantily clad the video would have been pulled a long time ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Malaysian government allows their Muslim citizens to visit Hat Yai daily, three guesses what their main activities are... 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
