Jacob Maslow Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Officials will release a new etiquette video in Chinese to discourage public nudity. The two-minute animated video will be released in coming weeks. Thailand officials are set to release a new two-minute etiquette video in Chinese that warns against public nudity. Sparked by public outcry, the new video will discourage tourists from taking their clothes off in inappropriate places. Thai officials made the move after a photo of a woman seen topless in a public bathroom went viral. The woman (who locals presume is Chinese) was reportedly changing in the common area of the Don Mueang airport in Bangkok. Public nudity is strictly prohibited in Thailand – even in public restrooms. Locals found the woman’s actions offensive, and the Thai government felt compelled to act. The incident was confirmed by a spokesperson for Don Mueang airport, but the airport was reluctant to blow the incident out of proportion. The airport issues warnings or imposes penalties to tourists who behave inappropriately on a case-by-case basis. The airport reaffirms that the majority of Chinese tourists are well-behaved. That may be the case, but the Ministry of Tourism and Sports is taking things a step further. The two-minute animated video will educate tourists on how to behave appropriately while visiting the country and asks tourists to keep their clothes on. The video will be posted on tourism websites and travel blogs in the coming weeks. The Thai government is hoping that the new video will go long way in ending the animosity locals have toward Chinese tourists. Public nudity is illegal in Thailand, and locals frown on the idea of going topless on beaches and other public places. But Anek Srichiwachat, who is head of the Thai Travel Agents Association, has asked that the public to stop sharing the photo of the topless woman. Anek warns that, as a host, Thailand should “nicely warn” tourists – not berate them. The new two-minute video aims to provide this polite warning and appease local Thai citizens. -- 2015-03-09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellred Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 A friend of mine works for Thai airways in the lounge at Swampy. She said she's seen Chinese tourists wash their clothes (including underwear) in the toilets and hang them on the aircon units. I kid you not. 555 I say there is a documentary to be made here, and when China sees the whole world laughing at its folks it might take things like etiquette whilst on holiday seriously.

Popular Post chooka Posted March 9, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 9, 2015 The woman freshened up in a female toilet, this a total over reaction to nothing. How do thier sports team shower and change, in private personal dressing rooms? You go the toilets in swimming pools and you see people undressing in the public facilities and these are mostly thai people doing it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will it also warn people that to take photographs of such events and post them online in a fit of false outrage is also wrong, as well as being a sign of a petty, small minded, hysterical, busy body?

Bluespunk Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 "The incident was confirmed by a spokesperson for Don Mueang airport, but the airport was reluctant to blow the incident out of proportion." Unlike the woman who posted them online. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post canuckamuck Posted March 9, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 9, 2015 Of all the things they could have made an etiquette video about, they pick nudity in the bathroom? I guess it's OK to go about breaking ancient artifacts and crapping ever where but in the loo. Spitting all over the place is good form, as is cue jumping. But don't get your tits out in the ladies room, the country will collapse into anarchy. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunks Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) The airport reaffirms that the majority of Chinese tourists are well-behaved. First I've noticed! None of them are ever even acceptably behaved! It's not just here in Thailand either. They were all behaving in the same disgusting manner when I was in Japan last week. As Canuckamuck quite correctly points out, crapping and pissing everywhere but in the toilet, spitting everywhere. Not to mention screaming their heads off in hotels and airports and generally behaving like a bunch of savages (no offence meant to savages) It is way past time that travel was restricted for these Chinese unless they can prove that they are able to behave acceptably. Perhaps toilet training certificates and etiquette training certificates to be provided at immigration prior to being granted entry....

jaywalker Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Meanwhile you can see Thai clowns in their underwear fishing with nets in roadside ditches all over the place.

Cpkt8 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I believe public nudity is the least problematic issue from the Chinese. Why such big hooha? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The woman (who locals presume is Chinese) Public nudity is strictly prohibited in Thailand – even in public restrooms. ....so made a video in Chinese on the off chance that the offending party might be Chinese, what happens if said offending party was Russian ? further is pulling ones John Thomas out in a public bathroom to urinate in the presence of local cleaning lady not considered public nudity and offensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DM07 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 So...let me get that straight: the woman was undressing to clean herself in a public women's- "bathroom"....and that is a problem, because.....?! I took flights from Phuket to Bangkok, freshening myself up in the men's room...and yes, I took of my shirt for that and put on a new one! ...and believe you me: my body is not nice to look at! But let me get another thing straight: Thai- authorities are making videos for other people...on good behavior? The same people, who sit in offices and burp like cows? Pick their noses, wherever they like? Slam the door in other peoples faces? Never behave like gentlemen to ladies? Yeah...got it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy50 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 If there was more public nudity, the world would be a better place. What on earth is offensive about the human body? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soutpeel Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 If there was more public nudity, the world would be a better place. What on earth is offensive about the human body? Maybe some visual aids to illustrate your question ? Public nudity encouraged/ nothing offensive in this photo in the least this photo on the other hand, one could suggest public nudity discouraged to the point the person should be arrested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
