bikerbri Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) Real Thai Culture. Shouldn't they be dressed more properly,or does it just apply to motor shows? Edited March 25, 2015 by bikerbri 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluespunk Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 WOW !!!!!!!! I had a girl try to tell me about Thai culture. This guy does not get out much does he. He would really be upset if he went to Pattaya and could see the guys in the speedo's. We all get upset about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post monkeycountry 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. I am guessing you were the guy who complained to the culture ministry? "if seeing naked women all the time is more important to you then maybe you are in the wrong country." Really? I would say that you are in exactly the right country? If you know of a country that has more naked women on public display than Thailand, I am quite sure I am not the only one who would like to know which country that is? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evadgib Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 A selection of the models choosen for the next motor show. That's (from L to R) Terry Gillingham, John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Jones & Michael Palin promoting their 02 performance last July "He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gentlemen, we now have irrefutable proof that there is life on other planets. How intelligent that life is ... is a matter of debate, since our dear friend Seajae does not seem to understand that since day one ... sex sells. You see Seajae, here on Planet Earth, sex is not just to sell cars ... it is used to sell everything and I challenge you to find any product advertised on television that we can not draw a line from, and not end up with some sexual reference. It is almost impossible to believe you are serious ... and that ... raised to the 10th power, since ... wait for it ... you are in Thailand complaining about naked girls in BANGKOK. I am laughing so hard right now, i think I sprained my back. For the love of god, really Seajae? Really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeycountry Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I am quite sure the models have not violated any actual laws, however the individual models cannot do much to defend themselves. Combined the car companies have much more influence, power and money than the ministry of culture. They should therefore join hands, and sue the ministry of culture as well as the culture minister for defaming the models and ruining the reputation of the motorshow. Worst case they lose and nothing happens, but imo odds are that they win, and that means the ministry of culture would have to be alot more careful for all future events or risk getting sued again. I believe defamation is punishable by jail, something I am sure thr minister of culture would like to avoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Docno Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) "She said the article prohibited any person from carrying out an embarrassing act" How does one legislate against embarrassment??? And doesn't that constitute punishing the victim ... isn't the embarrassment experienced by the person who commits the act? And isn't embarrassment, by definition, the punishment itself? I'm getting dizzy.... Edited March 25, 2015 by Docno 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docno Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I've said this a dozen times in these forums. Military governments love to legislate morality (though often in a hypocritical manner). This is just the latest instance in Thailand and likely not the last. So all of those cheering on the coup-makers... this is the bed your making for yourselves. Make yourselves comfortable...

Under the Yingluck government wives of MPs complained about the Nok Air calander. Under Abhisit we had police stop a few girls dancing along Narathiwat wet, but no Tshirt. Etc., etc. In this case I do not think this is special for a military government, just special Thai. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acharn Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Which law was violated? Probably something passed by one of the military juntas over the last fifty years that everybody else has forgotten about. You know, I remember in 1971, when I was here on R&R from Pleiku, one of the girls at the Thai Heaven told me that if they went outside the bar dressed the way they dressed inside, they'd be arrested. Let's see, that was Prime Minister Thanom Kittikachorn, but the law/regulation probably went back to Field Marshall Sarit, or maybe Pol. Gen. Pao Sarasin. I've always kind of admired Sarit for his brash confidence escorting younger and younger "nieces" to various public functions. Pao, as near as I've learned, was much more prudish, although arguably more corrupt. (and that's going some). The Culture Ministry is entirely staffed by puritan bluenoses who have no function except to complain that the young women of today have no respect for Thai values. That's where they should have put Purachai, not in Interior where he controlled the Police (at the time). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mac1970 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 This is just sad now. 1st the Coyote dancers, then the underboob selfies, now this. What's next, no bare feet? The culture minister seriously needs to get a life. Wonder how many complained were men? I'm glad she doesn't eat in the Big C food courts or we may loose the beer girls. Oh, I did forget the moratorium on beer girls too. Source No more “beer girls” Health warnings on all alcohol products No old bottles of wines or beer can be used to decorate a business No happy hours promotions Promoting alcohol through word of mouth is also illegal No alcohol logos are allowed on glasses, ashtrays and other paraphernalia Punishments of up to six months in jail for various offences All promotion of alcoholic consumption is illegal And they would not be the first ones, unfortunately this has been invented already. Welcome to my home world where all of this is promoted already. No wonder that people are bringing all their booze out of country and politicians are asking how this happened ... ... hmmm, let's increase the tax ... Not all idiots are living in Thailand, but we could send "few" and both sides would be happy. We would have better decisions and Thailand would be THE hub of "great minds" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
