Is kissing in public not allowed in Thailand ?

[Sandman77]

Today a friend call me and told me his Facebook experience !

He only upload a picture himself

Sending a air kiss to his girlfriend near him with the hand for show I love you!

One week later a massage come in Thai from gov

That he have imidiatly delete the picture!

Because he not want problems he close the Facebook account!

I realy wondering about this, when there are public kissing contests in Pattaya in the ready or not building last year then it cannot be against the law ,or maybe Iam in the wrong movie

[sdanielmcev]

Not allowed. Frowned on.

"or maybe I am in the wrong movie"

Nope, you're in a Salvador Dali painting like the rest of us.

A message from the Thai government about his Facebook picture..... Your mate is telling porkies

Generally Thais do not make public displays of affection.

similar to farting loudly in a crowded lift back home

Sounds like BS to me. It is not something people generally do in SE, but it is probably only illegal in Brunei.

I don't think "public" is the distinction, but maybe that is it on the internet. Like they don't show kissing on tv programs.

But how would anyone have seen it? Something weird with that as I can point you to many racy Thai Facebook "people" or "musicians" with tens of thousands of followers. Maybe one of his girlfriend's friends or family reported it.

I think someone's takin the piss

[brit1984]

anyway you wont find many thai girls who are willing to kiss in public in thailand, and if you do exchanging bodily fluids with that individual is probably not a great idea

Any massage from the government is not going to have an happy ending.

I have always wondered / fantasized about what tomboys do with their girlfriends in private

Unless maybe she was underage?

Reckon your buddy's on a wind-up by someone. It would be interesting to see what the message (in Thai) actually said and what department it came from.

As far as I'm aware, they haven't mastered image recognition of an air kiss to be able to issue a notice in the first place..................

If he had had his tongue half way down her throat on the steps of a wat, that might be different.

[celso]

Only if you have a kissing license on your visa.

[susan d]

Gov? I don't think so. However kiss on public -- not allow in Thailand.

[empireboy]

Sounds like BS to me....

[wvavin]

Absolutely frowned upon.

[dontejo]

Post a photo on FB, kissing my wife. Nothing from the gov, only likes.

[kovaltech]

BS Trolling....
