Popular Post webfact Posted January 15 Popular Post Share Posted January 15 A Thai tourist called on the authorities to put up warning signs after spotting two foreign women sunbathing inside Chiang Man Temple in the northern province of Chiang Mai. The Thai tourist who witnessed the foreigners’ action took a picture and sent it to Channel 3 around 1.30pm yesterday, January 14. The picture showed two foreign women in shorts and tank tops lying on the grass and enjoying the afternoon sun. The Thai tourist told the media that the picture was taken at Chiang Man Temple in the Mueang district of Chiang Mai. Being the oldest and first temple in the province, it holds significant historical importance. Residents in the vicinity hold the site in high regard, making sunbathing there culturally inappropriate. The concerned witness brought the matter to the attention of a monk, who assured that the message would be relayed to the tour guide responsible for bringing the foreign women to the temple. However, upon departing the temple, the witness noticed the two women still lying there. by Petch Petpailin Photo via Facebook/ กูรูเชียงใหม่ เรื่องเชียงใหม่กูรู้ Full story: The Thaiger 2024-01-15 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Popular Post Olav Seglem Posted January 15 Popular Post Share Posted January 15 (edited) Much fuzz about nothing. Im sure, if the thai person, instead of taking time to take photo, posting on facebook and getting annoyed, would instead informed the 2 ladies that sunbathing at temple was inpropriate, they would apologized and leave. But then, of course, the thai didnt learn english at school, and would not have gained "own moment of "clicks":-) Edited January 15 by Olav Seglem 9 11 4 1 8 3 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post PJ71 Posted January 15 Popular Post Share Posted January 15 Why would the thai 'grass' not just approach the 2 ladies sunbathing and mention it's not the done thing? I'm sure they would not have intended to offend people on purpose. Pathetic. 4 1 1 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the term, “ignorant” is appropriate here (lacking knowledge of the subject at hand). If knowledgeable of Thai culture, then other terms might apply. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Equally likely, of course, is that these 2 pathetic specimens of female Western humanity could instead have told the Thai tourist to f*** off (or worse). 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
