With all the other problems, political and economic this country has, and they're arresting some pretty girls for dancing in pants and a T shirt at songkran!

[DrTuner]

I think my future goals in life now include getting arrested of indecent dancing and dressing. So far no luck, even when I've tired my best.

[LuckyLew]

Did these three not get the memo "You are not allowed to have fun in Thailand anymore"

Why do these same cops no go to walking street, they could make arrests every minute of every day there

[elgordo38]

Well this surprising.They actually have laws for noise and nuisance.

Obviously other RTP units are unaware of this.

The owners were charged with illegally modifying their vehicles by installing sound amplifier louder than that permitted by the law and causing nuisance to others. Sound amplifier louder than that permitted by the law Geeze where do I contact these guys I have 3 locations around my condo guilty of the same thing. The car wash across the road, and at the top of the steps across from KSK(I counted 16 humongous speakers at this one spot alone) It is just deafening in my condo even with the balcony doors closed. They should have noise checkers going around with sound meters and check the sound levels. Again this is another example of applying the law willy nilly catch 1% and the other 99% do as they darn well please. (can I say da*n here?) Selectively applying the law is the same as no law at all.

This should be done to Americans on Spring Break in Florida

The Morals of Americans are terrible and they need God

Really! This story has nothing to do with America.

[Emster23]

Ah the repressive bluenoses, who spend their time in fear and dread that someone, somewhere, may be having fun. Imploring those sinners to turn to their imaginary friend in the hope others will emulate their pathetic joyless lives. Kudos for using first post right out of the gate to bash USA. Almost gives hope for Americans....

Agreed. I found God, he was under the couch all the time!

Following numerous comparisons to North Korea, the General wants to mix things up with comparisons to Saudi Arabia and other repressive states.

This is just a simple bash. The OP makes clear that local people objected to this invasion of their street and that crud on the truck ignored them and the police and came back for seconds. If Thai people want sensible dress standards during their Songkran celebration, it's their business. They shouldn't need to turn the villages and sois into an even lower rent version of Nana just to satisfy expats.

Has this government ever taken a walk through Pattaya, or Bangkok lately, if this is too clad, I don't know what Pattaya is then, its all about fun, too many old timers thinking they are still in 1930

Moralistic Saddo.

Any suggestions as to which God will benefit them the most, Allah maybe ?

Allah is not a different God Einstein.

Prove it.

Part of a crackdown on red, should have worn yellow bikini

[selftaopath]

Is this, "The owners were charged with illegally modifying their vehicles by installing sound amplifier louder than that permitted by the law and causing nuisance to others." for real?

Now this would be a big surprise.... Thais "can do anything they want." Right? Well around here it seems like they can.... no police etc.

[BSJ]

The noisy pick-ups.....oh come on! In LOS all you need is a toggle switch for music as it always off or full on!

[paymaster]

Meanwhile the Phuket police are concentrating on road safety and are saving lives. You can'T BE CORRUPTED IF YOUR DEAD. Buri Ram police seem to have their priorities severely messed up. Surely if they want to suck up to the cabinet there are better ways.

[jacko45k]

What's the concern with noise, no one bothers about it at any other time ?

What?????

[slipperylobster]

awww....

I think Thai's were upset because they were not dancing on top of a new car, at a car show.

Those girls in scheduled shows are a mafia in their own right...and were angry that other girls were giving out free shows. Much more likely.

[Mot Dang]

"dancing too dirtily"

Isn't that a great headline ? Conjures up all sorts of images in one's mind, probably a bit of hip-grinding and twixing (is the the right word ?), grabbing of crotches. Hey fellas, want to to see the real thing that will curl your nose hair ? TIT

Didn't Elvis get into trouble 70 years ago for the hip grinding?

Tooooooootally!

IF Thais want....

Been out lately?

I get the impression, that "Thais" want to have fun, the way they want it!

In mini-skirts, tight shirts, with loud music!

Thais want this...what some bitter old men and women with big guns and archaic morals and ethics want, is something entirely different!

[luckyman]

what's with the picture being all grainy ?

[lildragon]

This moralistic nonsense, who are they trying to fool?

[cheeryble]

I'd like to know about this being the second time they got nicked.

It says this happened before and they were fined.

How could they have appeared in court for a fine?

Songkran only just started.

[micmichd]

Maybe first fine was last year or any time before Songkran.

Also guess it's possible to pay fine to police instead of going to court. In Germany that's legal and normal procedure for minor offenses.
