Flashermac Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 BANGKOK, Apr 17 - Bang Rak district chief Surakiat Limcharoen filed complaint against three Thai women dancing topless during Songkran festival at Silom area together with their supporters and those releasing the trio's video clip on the internet. The complaints are to charge the three ladies dancing topless on Friday night at the Silom-Narathiwat intersection area with a fine of no more than Bt500 each for shameful behaviour in public, while their supporters are to be responsible by two-thirds of the trio's punishment. [color:red]Those releasing the clip will face imprisonment of up to 5 years and fined up to Bt100,000 under the country's Computer Crime Act.[/color] Concerning the matter, Culture Minister Nipit Intarasombat had asked prosecutor to order those related in the case to also perform public duties apart from paying the fine such as reading books for kindergarten children about the Songkran festival at least three times to set as good example. He said that the clip has negatively affected the image of Thai culture and that all parties involved with such behaviour should be punished, while asking police to give importance to this issue, for it destroys the country's reputation. Meanwhile, ABAC Poll conducted a survey on what the public thought of the dancing incident. Conducted on 1,134 persons aged above 18 in Bangkok and its vicinity on April 16-17, the Assumption University poll found that 94 per cent heard of the news, while 91 per cent indicated that the Thai society has long deteriorated. Some respondents viewed that adults do not set themselves as good examples to children, while others said teenagers themselves do not behave. About 87 per cent said they were worried of the future of their children in this society, while over 80 per cent of respondents said more punishment should be made to those committing immoral acts and violating law, as well as to related government officials in charge of the area.

Bangkoktraveler Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Meanwhile in our village older woman still go bare breasted at times, my mother in law one of them, which really pisses the wife off as the MIL does have better looking tits than the wife. Also in the Dam nearby, a few women still bath in their sarongs. I do live in a real Laos Thai village In Bangkok, if you look closely, you will see women bathing in the river.

Boo Radley Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Seems to have caused a bit of a stir in the Thai media as well: Miss Lada Tangsuphachai, Director of the Cultural Guardian Centre at the Thai Ministry of Culture has called upon the Thai police to hunt down the 3 girls involved in the topless dancing and arrest them. She said she'd seen the clip and it was immoral with no place in Thai society, especially at a Thai New Year Celebration, which should be a thing of beauty. She added that they most probably worked in the night-life industry since it took place in Silom's entertainment area and they weren't really representative of Thai youth. Immoral acts like this were from people devoid of a conscience and damaged Thailand's reputation... http://www.thairath.co.th/today/view/164519 (17/04/11) Wonder if the police will put in a determined effort to catch them....
