Should Thailand fine men for going topless in public?

Featured Replies

I say definitely yes, sick of those scummies who often end up causing trouble.

France agrees

No it's fascism. I want to see nude people.

If they did this, along with all the traffic offenses daily, they wouldn't be able to afford anything. Almost every time you see someone arrested, they have no shirt on, and it's both foreigners and locals, although not wearing a shirt near the beach or waterways is acceptable. Anywhere else it's wrong.

YES, YES, YES..........

...................unless you are on the beach or on a beach front road.......

In London last week (I know that's not in Thailand)........... the number of 'men' going topless....everywhere....was ****ing ridiculous.

I'm for equality. Both guys and girls should be able to go topless. That law was passed in NYC in 1992 but few women go topless. The ones that do could beat ya to a pulp!

Ok, so strolling around shirtless in Bangkok by the side of Chao Phraya promenade project, when finished, will be totally fine, right? 🤣

Yes.

Fine the men Bt.10,000 first time.

Then expel from Thailand, for good, after the second infraction.

Only slim and trim women should be permitted to go topless in Thailand, or in other countries.

This is the MAIN REASON I never go to the beach.

Too many topless men walking around.

I agree with NYC statute.

If men can go topless, then so can women.

Just logical.

Yes, need to start with the old topless foreigners walking briskly with their manboobs bouncing up and down on Jomtien Beach road every morning

Beach and waterways means places where there are beaches, or on boats, swimming in rivers, lakes, canals. Most anyone would understand what I meant. If there was legal swimming allowed there, it would be fine not wearing a shirt. People go shirtless next to the Hudson River in NYC with the same environment if it's also designated park. If not a park, then no.Walking through Bangkok proper is also a no.

Those New-Yorkers will do almost anything.

But, that does not mean we should follow-suit.

Oh, wait, is that a pun?

Nah, not entirely right! You don´t get to change factual meanings into what you assume they mean to you. Look below! Glad we could establish that fact. Have a nice day. Nothing more to discuss.

Not more than 1 or two blocks from the beach. 🫣

Yeah, that´s kind of my opinion too. It´s ok, like on the beach in Pattaya, if you need to run over beach road and run to the toilet. However, if you run over from the beach into 7 Eleven you should put on a shirt first. That´s just a normal built-in form of respect and dignity.
