snoop1130 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 A local music venue implemented an unusual policy by banning the performance of the hit song Pha Chet Nha (Handkerchief) by Thai band Klear as the venue’s tissues have been used excessively. Klear bassist Kee Kiyapat shared the surprising rule on social media, tagging Bo Suratnawee of Triumphs Kingdom, which sparked a humorous online debate about fairness and practicality in the music industry. The post, which quickly gained traction among netizens, featured a clear sign at the venue stating a firm prohibition against singing Pha Chet Nha, with a fine of 500 baht imposed for violating the rule. Kee’s explanation was as straightforward as it was amusing: every time the song played, customers enthusiastically danced and mimicked the song’s title by showering the air with tissues, leaving the venue in a mess and short on supplies. Responding with a playful counterargument, Bo Suratnawee pointed out that Klear’s performances could be just as tissue-consuming, with their emotionally charged songs inducing tears and runny noses among the audience. This ban, Suratnawee argued, seemed rather unfair to their band, Triumphs Kingdom, reported Sanook. The ban has sparked a lively discussion online, with commenters joining in the fun. Suggestions ranged from buying tissues in bulk before performing the song, which would be more cost-effective than paying the fine, to venues seizing the opportunity to sell tissues at a premium during the song’s performance. Others sympathised with the cleaning staff, who have to deal with the aftermath of the tissue-strewn floors. In related news, a Thai boy’s tribute to his late grandfather captivated many on TikTok. The clip, shared by TikTok user @somchutiya on January 18 showed the young lad playing a traditional Thai instrument, the cane, in front of his grandfather’s memorial, alongside a trophy he won in a recent competition. The young musician is seen kneeling before the bone repository of his beloved grandfather, proudly displaying the royal trophy he won in a recent contest.

Scouse123 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 It makes me wonder about all these fines issued by venues for various infractions, a bit the same as hotels threatening 2000 baht fines for bringing in durian or smoking. Etc Are these fines actually legal and within the law, and can they impose them? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
