April 11, 20178 yr Topless women at Songkran face 5,000 baht fine say police Picture: Daily News BANGKOK: -- The met police have singled out women at this year's Songkran festival in the capital. They have been told in no uncertain terms by police - show your breasts and we will fine you up to 5,000 baht, reported Daily News. This is part of Article 388 of the law. Sompong Chingdual speaking at metropolitan HQ yesterday also warned female revelers that lewd behavior can lead to crime: "Don't behave or dance provocatively - this can lead to sex offences". Sompong implored all participants in the water splashing to dress and behave politely according to the best Thai traditions. He stressed that high-powered water guns were not to be used and anyone doing so would be arrested. Powder is completely banned in Khao San Road. Elsewhere if powder is applied it should be done without sexual overtones. If men use it as an opportunity to squeeze women inappropriately they will be charged. Sompong also said that the met force would be very strict on the roads with drink driving a complete no-no. Many alcohol testing checkpoints will be set up throughout the capital. For people going up-country he asked drivers to check their vehicles especially the roadworthiness of tires. Also check your routes and identify possible shortcuts, he suggested He added in his message to "phee - nong Thai" (the public): "Splash water in the best Thai traditions please. Play politely and look after your children. "Remember we are still in a time of mourning so behave appropriately". Source: Daily News -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2017-04-11

April 11, 20178 yr Quote Quote These Pattaya police are everyday looking like the religious police in Saud Arabia and Iran.. lighten up guys and let people have some fun and break away from the slogs of every day's life....
April 11, 20178 yr "They have been told in no uncertain terms by police - show your breasts and we will fine you up to 5,000 baht..." Of course, as per police policy, they will have to re-enact the crime 30 or 40 times in front of the entire police department. It will be interesting to see what the police point to during those re-enactments.

How nice and comforting to see the BIB engaging in victim blaming. Fills me with such confidence in their competence and reliability.
April 11, 20178 yr So the age-old encouragement/entreaty "show us your tits, love" is to fall on deaf ears?
April 11, 20178 yr Well, that's usually more of a fine than you'd get for running someone down and killing them.

April 11, 20178 yr what has happened to traditional Thai culture this modern day stuff is a cold war invention bring back true Thai culture please
April 11, 20178 yr Topless women at Songkran face 5,000 baht fine say police After they've been identified from the videos posted on social media.
April 11, 20178 yr Unfortunately none of the topless farang women I have seen in Thailand have lived up to the image. Madam- if you are over 50 don't drag them along the beach. That goes for budgie smugglers as well.
April 11, 20178 yr " They have been told in no uncertain terms by police - show your breasts and we will fine you up to 5,000 baht, reported Daily News." As opposed to the rest of the year, show us your breasts or we will fine you.
April 11, 20178 yr Looking at old pics of Thailand seems half the population was so called topless in traditional garb. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
April 11, 20178 yr So for 10K (following traffic ticket rules), I can get a couple honeys w/ their puppies out all day....Just show the next cop who wants to raise a fuss that you've already been ticketed that day and carry on right?

April 11, 20178 yr Pity the police have nothing better to do. 100 years ago it was the norm for Thai women to walk around topless.

April 11, 20178 yr No one was ever killed or maimed by exposed breasts. Not a big fan of Sonkran, but it looks like the perfect opportunity for a young lass to show off her semi naked beauty, and why not? With so much ugliness in the world.
April 11, 20178 yr So, what's the fine for a woman going topless when its not Songkran? Is it more or less than 5000 baht?
