Thaivisa News Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Bangkok:- The Culture Ministry has threatened to take legal action against models at the on-going 36th Bangkok International Motor show for having exposed themselves too much. Culture Minister Veera Rojpojanarat said he had received a lot of complaints that many models in the motor show fair had dressed improperly. Veera said complaints were especially raised against a brand for showing body painting on some models that was considered to be too much exposed. The minister said he has seen the photos of body-painted models and he thought they were revealing too much and their act was not appropriate for the Thai culture. “I’ll have the Culture Watch Office coordinate with that brand and the organizer to make sure that the models get dressed properly,” Veera said. Yupha Thaweewatanakijboworn, director of the Culture Watch Office, said she had assigned her officials to coordinate with the Royal Thai Police to take legal actions against the models who revealed themselves “too much”. Yupha said the act of models might be deemed indecent act that violated Article 388 of the Criminal Code. She said the article prohibited any person from carrying out an embarrassing act by exposing himself or herself or doing any other indecent activity in public place. Such a violation would be subject to a fine of Bt5,000, she added. Her office will gather pictures of too-much revealing models at the motor show for using as evidence for taking action, she added. “They have clearly violated the law,” Yupha said. She also warned social networkers not to share the models’ photos as they could be deemed violating the computer crime act too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post siampolee Posted March 25, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) Ooy Veera Rojpojanarat go and have look around the bars in Bangkok and Pattaya to name just a couple of places that are if one measures them by your criteria are not appropriate for the Thai culture. Then of course when your is complete you can gain personal satisfaction from the results of your investigation but remember change hands at 99. Yupha Thaweewatanakijboworn, director of the Culture Watch Office, said she had assigned her officials to coordinate with the Royal Thai Police to take legal actions against the models who revealed themselves “too much”. Yupha Thaweewatanakijboworn, director of the Culture Watch Office has contacted the Taliban so as she can attend a course and learn about modesty and then apply the appriate dress codes so that they apply to Thai Culture. “They have clearly violated the law,” Yupha said. She also warned social networkers not to share the models’ photos as they could be deemed violating the computer crime act too. Orwells though police are not figments of fiction but sadly alive and well in Thailand. Edited March 25, 2015 by siampolee 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post trogers Posted March 25, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 25, 2015 To be honest I think they were a little over the top, almost nude! Then, the organisers of motor shows should be forced to ensure all those cars be completely covered up by canvas or such. The models should be fully shown. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post siampolee Posted March 25, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) I have just heard from a source within the Culture Ministry that one of their investigators detailed to monitor the models at ''The Motor Show'' has been found in a men's rest room (his fourth visit in a short time it seems) suffering from chronic back pain, palm burns, blistered fingers and partial blindness and muttering over and over again 99,change 99. change 99.change. The injuries it seems are baffling the local hospital doctors who seem to think they are self inflicted injuries.

Popular Post seajae Posted March 25, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 25, 2015 if they have to use near naked women to sell cars you really have to wonder at the mentality of the ones that buy them. Nothing wrong with seeing near naked women but every country has its own laws and here it is not allowed, very simple. We all want to live here so we must abide by the thai laws(even if we dont agree with them), if seeing naked women all the time is more important to you then maybe you are in the wrong country. We all have out whinges but seriously, naked women mean so much to some of you at a car show, lets us know which head you think with, I thought car shows were to look at the cars, not wandering around staring at models. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
