Uproar over two farang exposing themselves

[ratcatcher]

The Ministry of Hypocrisy out in full force again!!

In a country where it sometimes is more difficult to buy a pack of fags, than it is to rent a hooker................

Maybe you should try to rent the fags and buy the hooker.

"Maybe you should try to rent the fags and buy the hooker hookah"

Buy this hookah and leave the fags alone.

22 years ago, I arrived on Khao San Road with a backpack not knowing what Songkran was and getting pissed as someone threw a bucket of water over me, soaking my passport and travellers cheques. Little did I know that I'd still be here with a somewhat different outlook on the festival. Firstly, it has changed remarkably. Khao San Road used to be one of the few places that it was mahem, the rest of Bangkok was relatively calm. Even a few adventurous Thais came to join in, unlike nowadays where there are many Thai pubs and clubs - in 1993 there were none.

I had just come from India and was young and loved the song that was playing everywhere -

I bought a bottle of vodka - I didn't do things by half then, and had a great time, doing a lot worse than stripping off!. I never thought ZI'd see the day I'd moan about Songkran and become a middle-aged bore. But such is life. I have happy memories of those days and ended up living in that area for a year.

I find it amusing when old guys forget what they did when they were young. Probably they all didn't get up to the things I

did but to criticize the young adventurous backp[acker is wrong. If it weren't for these kinds of people 40 years ago, Thailand wouldn't be as easy for you as it is today. Just think whilst they were roaming the globe searching for paradise, you were working for 10 bob a week with an annual holiday to Blackpool.

Long live the young and wild! Thais need some more to start a revolution here and get rid of Absolute control.

Looking at images of Thai culture 100 years ago brings back bad mammaries.

I thought they were quite tasty-looking mammaries, actually ...

[SoilSpoil]

Deport them. Idiots.

Together with 2 million Thai men, women and children, who each and every day sell their bodies to the highest bidder??

Hypocrisy and double standards!!

If these were Thais they would get arrested. Foreigners are guests here and indecent behavior should mean a one way ticket out.

Comparing this behavior to prostitution shows your ignorance. A completely different matter.

[selftaopath]

If I'm not mistaken, years ago while in Cha Am I saw many women from ER ??/ Russia???? on the beach w/out tops. And the bottoms were string. Soooooooo what gives????

I don't think.... no I KNOW Thais do not know a/b consistency or RULE OF LAW. Soooooooooooo?????? what ???????

I'm not saying it was appropriate behavior either. But hell neither is trying to run another vehicle off the road etc.

Are you for real?

Some places in Thailand you can't walk down the street without "ladies" flashing their tits in your face and touching your d**k.

That is according to you considered part of Thai "culture", and should be accepted?

Whereas if a couple of (drunk?) tourists get carried away, they should be expelled ?

I don't like the behavior of the hookers, on the other hand it is none of my business, so live and let live!!

As a foreigner in a foreign country you need to behave yourself. How could you not agree.

And those areas you describe, I've never seen. I stay far away from them. The Thailand I know is very conservative. Isn't prostitution illegal here? What happens in the naughty areas in Bangkok is illegal and only exists because of police corruption.

So using your logic means that because there's crime here and no law enforcement, foreigners are allowed to misbehave themselves. Well, I disagree and hope these 2 individuals are on the first flight out.

[sapson]

So they are deeply concerned about the public image of Thailand???

See below August 2014

http://www.tatnews.org/tat-collaborates-with-the-department-of-tourism-to-eradicate-jet-ski-scams/

Still continuing unabated in Pattaya and Phuket, violence and extortion of tourists in full public view with RTP seemingly unable to stop it or????????

So how does this impact the international perception of Thais? why no uproar by law abiding Thais on facebook over this massive blow to their image?

Money talks ...................

A bit of flesh on display in the heat of a water festival................yep bring the culprits in!!

20 baht too much on a taxi meter..............yep got to stop that

Food on the beach too expensive cant allow that .

Twenty year history of out and out major extortion with violence towards tourists by Thais.on the beaches ....................mai pen rai!

[off road pat]

Woow,....so much Thai bashing , just for two naked drunks,...???...I guess any excuse is good for you guys....!!!

[Happy Grumpy]

Probably best they don't arrest them.

After all, at the press conference they could just say 'Oh, I didn't know that it was illegal because earlier that evening I walked along a road lined with Thai gogo dancers with numbers on them were calling me into bars where they dance naked and give HJ's and BJ's for a few baht. Shall I take all you police officers and media down there now to show you?'

[AGareth2]

naked in public is the taboo

[Prbkk]

So a limp dick on Khaosan Rd and some flabby titties in Pattaya. Along with 70,000,000 others who did not express 'outrage' on facebook, I'm somewaht underwhelmed about the seriousness of it all.

[Neurath]

Usual penalty should be applied. The man's p*nis should be transferred to an inactive position.

When you think yours is the only true path you forever chain yourself to judging others and narrow the vision of God. The road to righteousness and arrogance is a parallel road that can intersect each other several times throughout a person's life. Its often hard to recognize one road from another. What makes them different is the road to righteousness is paved with the love of humanity. The road to arrogance is paved with the love of self.

Shannon L. Alder

I quite like the intent of the section quoted by Bluespunk above but do have one major problem. If "the road to righteousness and arrogance is a 'parallel' road", then how can they intersect each other once, let alone several times?

[jimstar1]

I use to enjoy the festival but now return home for a holiday and break as it is now a shambles with to many drunken idiot farangs

Look forward to returning on 30 th July

[BuckBee]

While not good behaviour it not the worst & plenty of thais do/done same

I've had ladyboys expose themselves at me when leaving foodland PP-soi2 with my groceries, didn't complain on FB, just put up with it as you do with all the whores, pimps & dildos on the streets :-/, seen worse in asok & suk-rd early morning hours from thai teenage hookers who while clothed might as well not be :-O

Difference is most of us know it all exists & thus deal with/accept it, these pompous officials live in a world of denial & bu115hit & believe BKK to be something it clearly isn't !

[puppy009loko]

i like this sentence

^ Weerapat Phattaranukul commented that the woman should be arrested and taught about Thai culture.^

over 4 million so ^apparently^ called tourist come every year precisely to Pattaya for your Thai culture where over half of the Ladies of Isaan and other part of Thailand gather to teach them the nice Thai culture in Pattaya hotels, even here in the villages i see worse then lady Pattaya so can someone explain to me, other then Thai's are jealous from farang, why do they act like this toward us when someone make a mistake? What kind of Thai culture remaining in this country??The easiest and the quickest girls for bed i have ever met come from this country and many are not prostitute so what is remain of the old Thai culture?? There is absolutely nothing called anymore Thai culture except for Buddhist offering and traditional festivals but regarding ladies i wont mention a word anymore otherwise they would delete my post hahahaha.

1. On any ordinary street you'll see people stopping their cars to have a piss regardless of who's watching.

2. There's always a female janitor in the loo whenever men are caught short at Tesco or Big C although interestingly I can't ever recall seeing a male janny heading towards the ladies.

Just my 2p...

Well, the uproar seems dumb. You don't need a special "Thai culture course" for these people. I would assume that there are public nudity laws on the books. So, you just grab them, take 'em in, book 'em, and have 'em pay a fine.

Here it all seems to require a "special law," which it doesn't....if you had law enforcement with a priority of enforcing its regular laws.

" ahh, you mus learn Thai culture. We hab over 1 million prostitutes, many brothels and our police take care, na. You wanna hab sex, you buy it na. No naked in public, na. Stay indoor and everyone happy, na.

Thailand not like naked people, disrespect to our culture of what you no see you no worry too mut, na."

Jah, but with all that ice water thrown over me, there's nuttin' to see!!

Hard to judge without a link to the footage ;-)

[gemguy]

If they plead guilty because they were drunk on THAI whiskey and could not curb their enthusiasm for Songkran...well then...... that should be a good enough excuse and more than acceptable

"Yeah...party on Garth" ..."Right, party on Wayne"

An advice to the Thais commenting on Facebook.

You should be more concerned and examine your culture and habits before being so upset about 2 naked people.

Look into the domestic violence, rape of minors, abandonment of children and families and other wrongdoings, happening daily in your country and then start worrying about this.

Hypocrisy, comes to my mind.

EXACTLY.. There are no victims when someone goes nude. And let's see what's worse? Someone exposing themselves as in these cases or the countless times Thai men grope women in crowded party areas like RCA...
