Ladyboys arrested for Songkran breast exposes

[manarak]

What is the article of Law applied in this case?

Breasts aren't sexual organs, and the persons exposing their breasts were male... I'm very curious to know the exact Law about this indecent exposure...

[JohnThailandJohn]

It is a family event with lots of kids participating in the water festival so I applaud the police for fining the "strippers/flashers" - even if the Baht 500 fine is quite low.

Near double what most Thais make in a day.

since when do the thai police follow ( or even know) the law(s)

[noitom]

Escorted away to pray to spirits as repentance for nude exposures. Interesting crime and justice application in THailand.

Ridiculous! 2014 and apologising to spirits?

I think people get confused between the right to believe in something - and the right that people have to respect what they believe in.

I respect people's right to believe in whatever they want - I certainly don't respect them for believing it.

Ridiculous! 2014 2557 and apologising to spirits?

Man, transvestites arrested in Phitsanulok for indecent exposure during Songkran

PHITSANULOK, 16 April 2014 (NNT) – Two transvestites and a man have been arrested by the police in Phitsanulok for indecent exposure while out celebrating Songkran.

The 23 and 21 years old transvestites had flashed their breasts while enjoying water splashing on the back of a pickup truck on Ekkathotsarot Rd. in Mueang district of Phitsanulok. The event was captured on video clip and then posted on social media on Sunday. The police were able to identify the two and arrested them at their homes. The two were fined 500 baht each, and told to make apologies to Phitsanulok City.

On Tuesday, Phitsanulok police also arrested a 23-year-old man who stripped down his pants and then continued to partake in Songkran water splashing. CCTV footage helped the police trace down the man, who confessed to having committed the offense because he was drunk. He, too, was fined 500 baht.

[kurnell]

After all we've seen in the last 10 years Thailand is still trying to prove they are a moral country.

200.000 prostitutes, but getting arrested for showing some MALE breasts

[expat888]

What boobs................ .................farangs watch out, you could be arrested for your boob show..........................

There are old guys with bigger tits than that. That should be banned.

This is the week of happiness. The proper thing to do is balance the equation.

The women should show their tits.

My doctor says I'm starting to grow tits because of the spirits.... What's the name of the apology temple?

[ttthailand]

Beware fat farang. Wear your shirt. Your Man boobs can get you arrested. Hahahaha.... TIT....s

Men are allowed to show their breast.

What is wrong with that law?

Only tourists of a particular nationality in the Mall.

[OnTheRun]

I'm surprised OMGImInPattaya hasn't been all over this thread defending the rights of ladyboys to air all in public.

[earthpig]

Since when is it illegal for a man to go around without a shirt?

As for the Willie flasher, why in heavens would they blank out his face if the cops are looking for him?

Amazing...

[sirchai]

Both suspects have been charged with indecent exposure and set to be fined at 5,000 baht for their offence. However, the police agreed to decrease their fines to 500 baht per person after a few officers got free service from the third genders.

Mr. Chartchai and Mr. Warot were also escorted to a shrine where they prayed to local spirits, begging for their forgiveness lest the spirits had been offended by their improper behaviour, where the spirits faces turned red, as a sign that their sin was forgiven..

​Miss Yingluck leads the investigation by her own, with her older brother's help. The local spirits were invited to her main office in Dubai. Amen.-

Actually, it is illegal for men to show their breasts in public in Thailand.

[gordon from yasothon]

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

[bushwacker]

Let this be a lesson to all the fat old men that have man breasts. It is ok to bare the monsters as long as you claim to be a Ladyboy.

Go figure!

[TechnikaIII]

What's all the fuss about? Besides, Thai authorities need to get abreast of the situation.

I'm not a lady boy, but when you get older and eat to much chicken or with other words: hormones, then it is better for me not to show myself on the beach.

When and where will the TV-staff be forced to beg for forgiveness for the publication of the boobs of Mr. Pumpin’ Iron on the same site? Not much of a difference here.

Someone get a hold of Kramer! They need a Bro

An episode of the TV sitcom Seinfeld, titled "The Doorman", had the character Kramer invent a male bra, which he called a "bro," for Frank Costanza, who had very large breasts. Frank initially decided to market the invention, but disagreed on the name, instead wanting to call it a "Manssiere," a play on the term "brassiere".

totally agree but it's not only in thailand... in the west, a lot of parents/schools still make their kids pray to imaginary gods / spirits...

We all call came into this world naked. Not sure why so many people have a hang up with nudity.

Most Thai laws are vaguely written and open to interpretation and abuse. This law is no exception.

"Section 388 of the code stipulates that any person who performs a disgraceful act in public by undressing himself, exhibiting his undressed person or committing any other act of obscenity, shall be liable to a fine not exceeding 500 baht"

Read the link before commenting. It has a little more detail.

Seems to me that these guys were happily within the word of the law, if not the spirit of the law.

Men are, sadly, allowed to bare their chests. Witness many a farang moob!

Nobody told me research of health supplements could leave me in such a mess. How can I delete my new Google reputation?
