She should have known better, but more importantly the tour guide and wat chalong officials should have prevented this. How did you arrive at that conclusion? It looked like she was there on her own. In Pattaya we often see Farang females dressed "inappropriately" all over town, but the Thais don't mind at all. I saw a Farang lady walking across a busy intersection on 3rd Road/Pattaya Tai in a skimpy bikini the other day... about a kilometer east of the beach. That was the worst (or best depending on your POV) case of inappropriate dress I've seen here. If any Thais were taking photos, it wasn't to complain.

They're too busy meditating, or mediataking? Please not for members under 25 years of age. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4uQD3n5YyE There is a time and place for everything, similar to Carnival when large areas of the Western World go berserk for a week or so. (Believe me, I was in Italy and also in Rio and Salvador during Carnival and it is wild. Although Brasil was beating the Italians in this sport.) But during regular times, it is simple to dress properly and respectfully when going to church, temple or other holy places. (notice also that the Royal Palaces do not allow those strange torn clothes on their premises) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary A Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Just another tempest in a tea cup. If I were a Buddhist, I would be far more worried about some of the corrupt monks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMA_FARANG Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Does anyone except me remember when there were signs outsside of tmples and rourist sites that stated that women should not wear pants suits to enter the place? In 1976 and 1977, women wearinng pants in a tourist site or temple were asked to change to "appropriate dress" before entering. And yes in the early 1970's there was at least one "clothing optional" beach in Phuket. but by 1978, when i first went to Phuket it was closed.

alien365 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I really hope I never make a mistake or accidentally offend someone resulting in no injury to anyone at all. A lot of the guys on here would have me jailed for life, caned, dragged down the street (clearly not naked) by horses or even sent back to where I came from.

keskeseksa Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Monks may launder billions of baht, but a woman in a see-through skirt unleashes the fury of the pious locals. This story should have never made the news, she should have been taken aside and just told that her skirt was inappropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Social Media Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Anyone considered that "maybe" that's NOT her undies and in fact its a bikini, and she did cover up by wearing that outfit but didnt realise it was that see-through ??? But then that wouldnt make a headline would it, far too reasonable explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGV Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 The woman is obviously lacking in any awareness of the importance of temple etiquette and she should have been told to leave Yes we all know about Patpong and bars but there is a time and a place and farangs need to be reminded that they are guests This blatant attitude by westerners is the reason why I left the UK - it's called arrogance JGV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best dirty dancing i have ever seen, ANYWHERE, is from small 10-30k Morlam groups with 4 dancers, inside temple grounds in some Nakhon Nowhere village in Isaan. More than once.

Deepinthailand Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Imagine the outcry if I walked into a Catholic Church waiving a condom?? Or a mosque carying a bacon sandwich. Maybe a church of England church no forget them.!!! It's a Temple a place of worship for Buddhists. You lot moan if a man goes to do 90 day report in shorts t shirt and flip flops, double standards then or is it because it's a woman wearing skimpy knickers you like. Would you say it was appropriate if a bloke dressed the same way at a temple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Navalator Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I am sure that the sanctimonious "furious This" would be more than willing to take any money she has to disperse. Really pious Thais would not notice what she was wearing as what does what she is wearing have to do with making merit? Just another sensational headline for Thaivisa.

OK Bluespunk Do you understand this one better? Does anyone think that she would try to enter a mosque dressed like that? All other religions being daft is no reason for Buddhism to be daft as well. Personally, I would have no problem with a woman going to a Christian church dressed like that but then I suppose I'm old and I don't rise to the occasion as quickly as I used to - one of the reasons I wouldn't fit in at all well in Pattaya. Don't know about the mosques though, the mullahs can seem like odd blighters sometimes. Thais can get all furious and outraged over some really unimportant stuff really, considering they've made their country into the world's biggest brothel. Seems a bit self-righteous to me.

thai3 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I have seen Thais parading round temples in shorts with crop tops many times, not to mention morlam dancers with their tits hanging out grinding their crotches and letting the crowd stuff 20 baht notes down their tops and pants, all in wat grounds with monks looking on.

This woman is being accused of doing something she would not do in her own country. I pointed out that this is in fact incorrect. I assume women from Islamic countries have a different cultural take on appropriate dress in their own country and would therefore dress in that manner. Laugh that one off.

MobileContent Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Some foreigners don't think it is wrong. I visited a good old friend in Germany last year and he had 1 meter Buddha next to his jacuzzi in his bathroom.

pkspeaker Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 so what if you can see through it. ITS <DELETED> HOT IN THIS COUNTRY! you can't see her nipples or vagina so who the hell cares? I get annoyed when Thai people bitch about me taking my shirt off during a workout or at the park etc. If they wanna wear jackets and warmups when its goddam 34* outside that's their dysfunction, they think it's so 'polite' I think they're morons. I'll never understand why these people wear jackets and warmups when it's 95F. The homo-sapian evolved in hot africa because he didn't have body hair. Because of this the hunter-gatherer human could run-down game, his prey could run faster, but he could run longer; he would keep chasing it until it dropped. It is not natural for humans to be wearing even anything in a hot climate, much less long pants, heavy shoes and a thick cotton shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The story is about a farang on temple grounds. I live less than a stone throw away from this temple, where are all the bars and ladies here? I have not seen any.
