Chiang Mai cops hunting for man behind naked road sign photos

[Beetlejuice]

The word is that the guy is a FARANG and perhaps someone else involved taking the photos.

The officer described the suspect as a "teenager," though in Thailand the term is also loosely used to describe individuals up to age 25.

Priceless! ............So very very 'Thai'...........

[Squeegee]

One guy's natural body damaged Chiang Mai's reputation?

Is that the reputation for tens of thousands of baht in bills for visiting an 'entertainment' establishment in your whorehouse of a money-grubbing country?

The fact your children in grade 6 can't even answer basic questions in English, because they can't think and haven't had a real education?

Does it not damage the reputation of your country when Thai mothers encourage their daughters to sell their body so the family can show off idiotic consumer products?

Does it not damage your country when you don't enforce your laws, yet your police are so mis-managed you send 20 of them to do a round up of party-goers that could have been done by 4, leaving the other 16 police free to do something more useful than treating adults like children and sending them to bed early?

Does it not damage the reputation of Thailand that your population are known for being lazy, cheating, greedy, immoral and shallow, with very little intellectual ability and little to offer the world beyond festering rice and rip-off holidays that may end up in death?

Does it not damage your reputation that the rest of the world is laughing at you when you think you save face, precisely because you make yourselves lose face?

Do you have any reputation at all with regards to Thailand's roads? Yes you have a bad reputation, so bad it's number 1 in the world if we remove your shallow attempts at diverting the truth and not counting most of the victims due to where they were when they died from the accident. A death in a hospital is still a road accident death. You are painfully stupid if you think anyone outside Thailand cannot see the truth.

There are dozens and dozens of examples of Thai people like jet ski rental criminals openly victimizing guests in your country. Does abusing and mistreating one's guests also not damage your reputation? How about your lazy, criminal taxi drivers?

Thailand, you need to wake up: your people and your country are weak and stupid... and you, Thailand, with what little thought you are capable of, getting it completely wrong again, it is you Thailand, not this one naked guy but you who yet again shows the rest of the world Thailand is losing it's face instead of being remotely professional, decent and capable of understanding what priorities are, both practical and moral.

Thailand: where one naked body damages a 'reputation' for... what? Seriously Thailand, have you any idea at all what your reputation really is like? Let me give you a clue: it is not for you to say what is your reputation, it is for others to decide. Right now you are helping make that decision go in exactly the wrong direction.

But nevermind, ignorance is bliss, you just keep on winning at pom-pom dancing competitions and show the rest of the world what use you are for the rest of humanity (especially now we got you sussed and changed our travel plans).

Land Of Smiles is history. You need to do better.

(As must we all.)

very nice..They want to charge him under the computer crime act,which can net you 21 years in the slammer! Amazing, Tragic Thailand. The charm of this place has worn off.

[Nick167]

Oh pleeze talk about hypocrisy...one male teen in CNX....what about gboysiam (Goggle the site and see all the postings in the picturepost....why is it it cannot be banned. The owners of the site claim that they are very influential people.)Also, check out all the psotisng and pics in grindr (thailand vicinity)

[jollyhangmon]

Is it :

- a naked road sign

or

- a naked man

???

If they don't know the difference, how do Thai women get babies ???

... by chance. Just try long enough and even with no clue about the difference there should be a rough 50 % chance to get it - shall we say 'right'?!

Exept if there was an extreme majority of (naked) road signs, don't know about that ...

[LisuLover]

The road sign says 'Chiang Mai 8'. Well, I think 'Chiang Mai 4.5' would be closer, na.

[arunsakda]

Who wears Birkenstock's anymore?

[lvr181]

So the police are" hunting" for this guy, while real criminals,

are told can you please report to the police station next week.

regards worgeordie

Yup, says much about the "priorities" in this country

[northernphil]

The picture. Too much over exposure and too much flash. And what do we get ? A 23 yo teenager.

[Colabamumbai]

I think really a slap on the wrists is that is needed here.

Being charged under the computer crimes act sound harsh imo.

This guy is just a prankster with nothing better to do by the sounds of it.

A slap on the wrist, or a slap somewhere else?

[BillyBobThai]

I want to know when the fairer sex is going start with these pranks?

[Gonzo the Face]

I want to know when the fairer sex is going start with these pranks?

Please elaborate, which of the fairer sexes are you referring to ????

[Gonzo the Face]

Apparently not any of the TV'ers have thought this entirely thru.

He won't be found.

The police talking head, the other day said that it would not be difficult to track down and identify this individual.

But now a few days later nada.... Now think it thrul

If they did find him, what would be the first thing they would do??..... of course.... set up a press conference to show the world how quickly Thai Dictectives work. Call in the press with all the photogs...... all police and their brothers who can be said to have fingered the culprit can stand around while the naked perp stands bare to all the pointing fingers.

But wait ! ! ! Can't do that ..... if they did that , wouldn't the police themselves be guilty of committing the same crime as the perp? This will totally ruin the reputation of all Thailand. How can you arrest anyone and brag without being able to point to your accomplishment? No he won't be found.

[chingmai331]

Must they reconstruct the crime in order to convict?

[spermwhale]

Can't wait for the re-enactment with 70 police taking time off from their crime-fighting duties to attend.

[lvr181]

Calling all female police volunteers for re-enactment

[Ace of Pop]

Be upstanding in Court

[jackanapes]

much ado about nothing ?

[Thailand]

Perhaps only the military with their big ones could solve this smear on the nations pride?

[northernjohn]

I'm continuouly entertained by the Thai reputation scale...

"he greatly damaged the reputation of Chiang Mai city"

I wonder if he had gotten away with just "damaging" if he had left his hat on !

Look to me like he had sandals and socks on.

doesn't he get credit for that?

My money says it is a bigger issue on Thai Visa than the police department.
