They should have made it 20,000 Baht - He wouldn't do this on a beach in UK - I am embarressed to admit that I am British - very disrespectful behaviour and I am not a prude - there is a time and a place - St Tropez probably - I was there in the mid 70s and camped on a nudist beach but kept my shorts on

There is absolutely no reason to be embarrassed to admit that you are British. His actions were not due to him being British but because he is a total Pratt!
I wish that many people on here would realise that certain behavior has nothing to do with whatever nationality the person may be. I think that you would probably find that a very low percentage of Brits would consider it acceptable to stroll naked on a Thai beach.

Agreed, normally reserved for in town on a Saturday night!

A British man faces a fine of 5,000 baht after a viral video, filmed by a Thai local, showed him walking naked with his friends along Ao Nang Beach in the southern province of Krabi.

 

A resident of Krabi province witnessed the naked British man, later identified as 23 year old Joseph William Kershaw, and filmed him. The video was later shared on several social media platforms sparking complaints against the foreign man’s behaviour.

 

In the video, a gathering of 20 to 30 foreigners can be seen posing for a group photograph in front of the Sailfish Sculpture on Ao Nang Beach. Kershaw was seen strolling naked in the presence of his companions, swinging his clothes in hand.

The individual who filmed the incident informed Channel 3 that it occurred on April 8. The group of foreign tourists arrived at the location accompanied by a Thai tour guide. Kershaw’s companions appeared to applaud his behaviour and encourage him. Neither his companions nor the Thai guide intervened.

While the foreign group may have found Kershaw’s actions amusing, locals did not share the sentiment, asserting that his behaviour disrespected both the landmark sculpture and the community.

 

The person filming noted that both Thais and foreigners were present at the scene when the incident occurred, yet Kershaw proceeded with his actions, apparently under the impression that he could behave as he pleased in Thailand as a foreign tourist.

 

Krabi Immigration Police and Ao Nang Police Station managed to identify Kershaw and found that he was in Thailand on a tourist visa. The British man was summoned to the Ao Nang Police Station yesterday, April 9.

 

Kershaw issued an apology for his inappropriate action in the public place and claimed that he acted under the influence of alcohol.

 

As a result of his actions, Kershaw was fined 5,000 baht under Section 388 of the Criminal Law: performing a disgraceful act in public by undressing himself, exhibiting his undressed person, or committing any other act of obscenity.

No visa agent ever bob. I live on my own money and do all the extension paperwork myself. No need to waste money on an agent.

There has been a nude beach at Brighton for many years, to the west of the main beaches. 

Just in case anyone on here is thinking of jetting to the UK to check out Brighton Naturist Beach, I would point out that it is actually EAST of the main beach, towards the Marina. West would be Hove, where nudity is definitely a no-no.

500 for kicking a preggo and 5000 for showing a willy?  

20 years ago holding hands was taboo. As was most PDA.    

Crazy country but we knew that.

They must be getting bored of taking pictures of there dinner and posting it on face book. 

 

 

 

 

Remember years ago, my so called English girlfriend got her tits out on the beach, no end of Thais came over and took a photo.

No social media then.

And another quality foreigner tries pushing the limits. Thai Immigration is #1 responsible for allowing all the trash in more focused on $$$ when they themselves any time can deny anyone from entering. From all the freaks young and old men and women over the years would not break my heart to see 50% less obnoxious trash in. FREAK SHOW!

You ever notice how it's somehow always the foreigners who disrespect the community.. Strange that.
