If you mean topless, then yes, of course it's illegal here. If you mean she had a bikini on on the beach then no.

She was completely topless. Swinging all about the place.

I find it hard to believe since a local would have called the cops if it's illegal.

Back in the 80s/90s topless Thai women on the beach in Pattaya were nothing unusual.

Many years ago I was on Chaeweng and several fat and unattractive white women were topless. I should have reported to the cops that some farang women were destroying the environment.

That could have been the first wife and her mates.

Indeed...  There would be the usual 'netizen outrage' gracing the hallowed pages of Khaosod, The Thaiger and this forum if this were true...

And guess who started the puritanical disgust of women's bare chests in Thailand?

 

From the article above. I won't show the photos so as not to upset anyone.

 

"That’s not to say all women went topless in public in Old Siam. But 125 years ago, a woman at the market baring her breasts was not the moral showstopper it would be today.

 

Things started changing around the mid-19th Century. That’s when White colonialists from England, Holland, and France starting showing up in the Siamese Kingdom.

 

These Europeans would be entertained at the Royal Siamese Court and shown around early Bangkok. Most Thai women went topless back then, including the consorts of the Royal Court.

 

The expressions on these White, puritanical faces must have been priceless when they were confronted with a half-naked Thai woman in public. These men came from horridly repressed cultures about sex. (“Blow out the candles”! Even during sex the naked body shouldn’t be viewed.)

 

Such displeasure and discomfort did not escape the notice of the Siamese rulers. They wanted Europeans to respect them. They had to make deals with these colonialists and didn’t want their culture to be judged immoral.

And so beginning in the mid-19th Century, the Siamese Royal Court began to encourage women to cover their breasts, at least in public. It took decades to accomplish this fashion change as women in rural Thailand persisted in going topless in public even as late as the 1920’s-1930’s."

Please don't encourage it as we know any image it sends will be fake.

Other than that one of his incredibly obese thumb.
