Does anyone know anything about this?

Is this guy fear-mongering or is everyone at greater risk for being accused of sexual harassment due to new laws?

I reckon the new laws are justified.

Too many spooky, crazy, weirdos in the world these days, girls need to be protected from these freaks.

I've got nothing to fear, I always approach females in a respectful, courteous manner, some people have never been taught how to be courteous or respect others.

I see the freak show at times, some men disrespecting females, most have mental health issues, they probably don't even realize that their behaviour is unacceptable.

TBH I don't feel this as fear-mongering at all. I never insult females and always approach them with respect.

Having said that, what we don't do in our home country (for obvious repercussions), should we do in Thailand or any other country?

He is saying even the bar girls trying to pull your arm and drag you into a bar is now illegal.

I will watch this later.

This lawyer titles his video "The End of Pattaya Nightlife?".

In Thailand any new law gives further leverage to corrupt law enforcement officials looking to make a fast buck at the falang's expense...

The new laws are basically rules any decent person would have for themselves. I want to be a nice guy and

be seen as friendly and cool, the last thing I want to do in a gogo, beer bar or gentleman's club is pressure

or otherwise make uncomfortable any lady working there. I respect them all unconditionally, even if a few are bad apples, they are doing a job that makes me and many others happy, though not so much anymore I must admit, still their being there is at potentially great personal risk and expense to themselves, health and psychological problems are easily developed and I think that I can appreciate what they do for us who go into these places. In general I enjoy helping people to enjoy themselves thats whats fun to me, not going into a bar and sitting there like a grumpy lump and being an oblivious, demanding a-whole. Its a good feeling if you can see that a bar girl actually did get something out of time spent having a few laughs and some drinks aprt from her share of the bar tab.

However, I agree with what is pointed out in these videos, these laws could easily be weaponized against "entertainment" seekers in Thailand. The way I see it, bad actors managing or owning the bars, the police and some of the girls working in these places could easily use these laws and the peril you are potentially in now, just by walking into any club in Nana Plaza, Soi Cowboy, or any of the similar zones in Pattaya and Phuket makes it an absolute no go for me after this development. It is in no way worth what you are being asked to risk to go into these establishments now.

So I will register my non-compliance with the new laws, by refusing to go to bars or clubs in Thailand or enteratinment districts where they are usually set up and by choosing to take my holidays in other more interesting and relaxing countries in the world. I will not go to restaurants or food courts or even sidewalk food vendors and buy my sustenance at busy supermarkets that allow cashiers very little scope to initiate a problem with me for personal glory, social credit and even monetary gain. These kinds of laws potentially, if enforced/abused make it impossible to ever fully relax and enjoy being in Thailand in public anymore. It essentially puts interacting with Thais at all anywhere in a no-go zone, not just the naughty bars. It makes Thailand into an oppressive country the likes of which no one would want to visit because you are in imminent danger the minute you set foot in there countries like say the UK or Saudi Arabia.

I am ridiculous and paranoid? No these new harassment laws are whats ridiculous and formulated by paranoiacs in globalist consortiums and think tanks. Though it is not surprising that Thailand wants to copy the totalitarian regimes in the farang-o-sphere, or that it may have even been coerced by globalist entities, its still a pizz poor way to try and modernize, in fact it does the opposite, its all positively medieval and sets up the "society" for the kind of grovelling and I-don't-deserve-to-even-live-m'lord-please-may-I-be-allowed-to-be-a-slave mentality of a feudalistic society. So no, It aint me who's ridiculous and paranoid.

Thailand's embrace of progressive values represents a powerful and transformative shift for the nation. The people of Thailand are united in their refusal to tolerate white supremacy, signaling a bold commitment to equality and justice.

Unfortunately this law comes to late for me. 20 years ago Girls have been harassing me every time I walked down Soi 6/7/8 (you name it). Now they don't even look at me. Old age is not easy I tell you....

No one should be sexually harassed, but these laws tend to protect very few people and are instead weaponized to accuse enemies of deviant sexual behavior or used by jilted lovers to get revenge. I think Thailand was doing fine without this act, but of course that's not up to us farangs.

Thailand has never tolerated white supremacy and these laws have nothing to do with race. See how far you get espousing white supremacy in Thailand or evn harboring those sentiments. It wont end well for you and you'll be running for the exit to some other place where you think can get away with that and you won't. Oppressed peoples and sopcieties are not so weak that they need your sympathy and the hypocrisy of your humanitarian laws. Who are you kidding? You try being a pig in most places in the world and you'll be sorted on the spot. You'll likely lose your life as white man going to East Los Angeles or East St Louis and leering and whistling at teenage girls.

Thailand succesfully withstood a decimation of their currency and economy in 1997 carried out by white people. George Soros and the latgely white global financial industry and their institutional support as upheld by the IMF et al. Thailand was also victorious in a second Soros and international finance cartel color revolution attack in the 2010's and are likely undergoing a third attack now as we speak via the proxy of Hun Sen's bombing attacks on Thailand in attempts to draw Thailand into an all out war and thus weaken her for real white supremacists to gain greater control. Thats real white supremacy in action, not being a white person looking at someone and being unlucky enough that as the luck of draw had it your glance was unwelcome.

Furthermore, your comment suggests that only white people commit sexual harassment, or only white people should be held accountable. What is equal of just about that, if indeed you actually care about equality and justice. I would suggest you look at yourself and what you actually want if you dont know because I think I can see it, you simply want to just get over or you just want to virtue signal and I would also suggest you get more experience in Thailand and learn about what white supremacy as a tool and who it serves and why it ios actually a dnager and a menace. This law could be implemented to actually support women and others but its overreach makes it tool to dominate all and sundry as such laws in your own country do, If it is actrually put into effect thailand will lose even more of of its tourist industry, whic h they are entitled to do for themselves, but I doubt Thais were asked if they wanted to treat its people and their guests in this way.

To your point, ironically, the first victim of these laws was a Thai actor targeted by the daughter of an established and well known politician, Sudarat, and the article posted on this very website. Its just one of many examples that shows that at the end of the day Thai law is about class and social position, its about weaponry for political battles, not for protecting people's rights racial equality and defeating white supremacy. There are no white societies in Thailand nor have there ever been apart from voiceless largely powerless expat enclaves (and I am glad they are voiceless, the last thing I want is Thailand becoming a British colony) that could create oppressive and white supremacist structures. . Such a concept doesnt exist because it is not Thailand's history that they were enslaved by white people, colonized directly by them etc.

If you think Thais find the idea of white supremacy a problem give me examples, I'd wager they are pretty scarce, I'd also wager they dont care, because its not an issue here this society has resisted it since Rama V did much negotiating to put Britain and France off taking over the place entirely. And they wont allow it ever. You should ask Thais what they know about white supremacy and how it has vicitimized them. And then ask yourself awhether it lines up with what you are referring to when you use thge term white supremacy. Laws are here as tools for the powerful to use as needed or wanted to maintain their positions, they are in no shape or form there to promote equality and racial justice, I doubt you'd find one Thai tell you thats why te laws of thsi country are here, you are conflating the nonsense excuses your own society in Europe or the Americas feed you about their own actions and proscribed behaviors with Thailand. And if you dont see what I mean by that then I question the extent of your familiarity with Thailand. Thailand is not the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia or the UK, so your attempts to impose all of that on this country is misguided.

If you want to talk about real white supremacy, the kind that destroys non-white societies and peoples and the working and middles classes of any race, then look at the people in think tanks of Europe and the United States sewing the sentiment that one cannot even look at someone or make an unwelcome comment that someone felt they didnt like or that one will no longer recieve any benefit of the doubt regarding any action or behavior that is being interpreted in a certain light by as few as one person: the so-called victim, without breaking the law. The source of these laws are not Thailand as they already in force in the UK, and perhaps will be when America elects a Democrat, are laws that are anti-human insofar as they completely disrespect human nature insofar as human nature contains within it, and inherent to it, many viccissitudes and nuance of interpretation of the world and how one ought to act, there is much scope for human error, in human thought and actions and these people who would have us all walking on eggshells so they can extract data and profits from us at ever increasing levels of convenience are the very people profiting from the holocaust in Gaza and the wholesale destruction of the middle east long planned and in process since the 1800's. They think nothing of leveling the black community in their planned riots mto take one example or butchering demosnstrators in the streets of Tehran or provoking a nuclear conflict with Russia which will end our lives before it does there's. Bans on what can be said are in place to silence communication and dialog among all of us who suffer so greatly at this time from the oligarchical class and their tools such as US AID, Palantir, the WHO, IMF the governments of the west and the royals and individual king pins like the technocrats. Also I would suggest you investigate a little bit further how trying top stop human error, error that results in upset among others can be jelped by putting people in prison for what they are powerless to control, ie other people's interpretation of their harmless intentions. and I am not talking about blatant sexual harrassment, I am talking about what this law and the law in Britain forbids which is simply looking at someone. I think you will find you can do nothing to create true equality just as you cannot create a law to ban the sun from shining. and least of all because that is the last thing these peopel want, real human rights, security for all of us prosperity and a real education not brainwashing as we get everywhere.
