A well-known photographer, 46 year old Thanakrit, was apprehended by the Metropolitan Investigation Bureau for distributing obscene images and videos of models on the subscription platform OnlyFans, reportedly earning over 2 million baht (US$57,590). The photographer, known by the nickname Ohm, has previously faced charges of obscenity.

 

The arrest followed a complaint from a model, who alleged that the photographer had coerced her into participating and later discovered her images online.

 

Yesterday, January 11, senior officials, including Police Lieutenant General Siam Boonsom, oversaw the operation. The arrest took place at Thanakrit’s residence in a notable village on Ekkachai Road, Bang Bon district, Bangkok.

 

The accused was charged under Section 287 of the Criminal Code, which penalises those who produce, distribute, or display obscene materials. Further charges under the Computer Crime Act of 2007 were also levied.

Thanakrit’s home doubled as a photography studio, where he allegedly captured and distributed lascivious content. Upon searching the premises with a court warrant from the Thonburi Criminal Court, police found evidence, including a Samsung smartphone and computer equipment.

 

 

The devices contained numerous obscene images, some linked to his OnlyFans account, accessible to subscribers for a fee.

 

Upon interrogation, Thanakrit admitted to operating on OnlyFans for approximately three years, generating significant income. The police have detained him for further legal proceedings at Bang Bon police station.

 

Police Major General Theeradej Thamsutee, Head of the Investigation Bureau, urged caution among models and modelling agencies. He advised thorough discussions regarding contracts and shooting details, recommending bringing a companion to shoots to ensure safety, reported KhaoSod.

 

He warned against trusting photographers without adequate verification, stressing the importance of safeguarding one’s future over financial incentives.

What a country🤗.

In Bangkok Patpong you can see much more in reality. Obviously that is legal? But if someone sell PHotos on Only fans....that is illegal?

The challenge is tht so many girls want to be famous and make money with their bodies as either Pretties, bar girls or models that they will do anything.

 

Personally I think if a person wants t do a page to make money then it is a good thing.  let them do it as long as they are respetful and don't film outside in the parks or public beaches.

 

Thai governemtn can not tax this so they want to outlaw it.  This is too bad but again we hae to treat the people of Thailand like little children and protect them as such.  

 

 

I don't think it's a tax problem but a balancing act between ancient Buddhism and 2025. Thailand's society is between monks and modern times (includes onlyfans, TikTok, and other media).

And the laws were made in ancient times.

It is if it's against the model's wishes and coercion is involved.

So a Thai gal trying to beat OnlyFans Bonnie Blue record of boom-booming 1057 men would be arrested by the BIB?
