Underboob selfies illegal here: Culture Ministry

[Thaivisa News]

Bangkok:- Thai girls who may be pondering to join the new trend of “underboob selfies”, should have the second thought as the Culture Ministry warned that they could end up violating the Computer Crime Act.

According to Thairath Online, the warning came from Yupha Thaweewattanakijborworn, director of the Culture Watch Office of the Culture Ministry.

Many foreign women have joined the so-called underboob selfies trend by taking photos of their body up from the waist to the breast without showing the nipples.

Yupha also urged the Thai media not to play up the trend if the media has not seen underboob selfies by Thai women yet. She explained that such reports might backfire rather than doing good to the society.

She said if Thai women post underboob selfie photos, they may be deemed breaking the Computer Crime Act by putting pornographic pictures into computer system.

She added that the Culture Ministry does not support Thai women to be scantily clad in public places, and it would become a serious problem for the society if many Thai girls follow the example.

Thairath Online also interviewed Roongtawan Chaiha, an Internet idol who rose to her fame by posting her own sexy photos on her Munkaw Chaos Girl Facebook fan page, said she has no plan to catch the underboob seflies trend. So far, her page has received over 470,000 likes mostly from men.

Munkaw, who has proudly announced that her breast is her selling point, said the Thai society would not accept such the underboob trend. Posting photos partially revealing the breast from the high angle of view is already causing serious trouble for her, she added.

Perfectly right. Do a google/images search for underboob and you'll see what I mean. There are several million images, although only a couple of hundred are seen on an iPad (a limit, for some reason). They're all disgusting. Every single one of them. You shouldn't look.

its not porn if nipples are covered, so no its not illegal.

mind your own business....

they (who ever "they" are) take this thai culture thing way to seriously

in everyday life I see next to no thai culture that "they" deem so important

Is watching those underboob picture also a breach of law, because I'm a repeat offender, and am afraid that this article just made me relapse in an almost cured criminal behavior.

[Rooo]

Is it April 1 ?

[hansgruber]

We need more underboob if anything. Good to see the conservative old aged prudes keeping Thailand in the 30's.

Well this news has put a downer on my whole week.

Is it not the case that MORE underboob photos would be a sure fire way of returning happiness to the people.

At your service Sir!!

Jesus i've been missing out all this time! Thank you for bringing this important news to my attention.

[berybert]

Never mind the under boob pictures. can the lovely Yupha Thaweewattanakijborworn, director of the Culture Watch Office of the Culture Ministry, make it illegal for people to take pictures of their dinner.

[Freed1948]

Just googled it.

2 minutes of my life I won't get back.

[madmitch]

It's only four weeks until Songkran so expect plenty more announcements from the culture ministry.

Meantime I will refrain from posting my own underboob selfie as this will offend not only the culture ministry but anybody that would have the misfortune to look at it.

[billphillips]

Yea, I'm sure the authorities will be able to identify the offending selfie girls from the photos.

[snottgoblin]

How about they made illegal for ambulances / emergency services to not take photos of dead bodies or injured people. That would be far more appropriate.

Really are a bunch of idiots in these government departments

[Thian]

Watch them quickly before those websites are banned like all the other xxx websites. How come i never heard of this before?

[Don Mega]

How do they differentiate a selfie taken pic or one taken by a second person ?

[berybert]

Heres an under Bob picture. This I can understand banning.

Too late

Far be it for me to tell anyone to sin. Let your conscience be your guide.

Just remember, this is Thailand, so no sneak-peeking or the culture police will get you.

Too late. I felt it my duty to investigate these claims of indecency.

Should learn from the Muslim.

[DM07]

Illegal?

[Puwa]

Meanwhile, in the 21st century...

[Songhua]

The Culture Watch Office is living in the past. The girls have already moved on to cameltoe selfies.
