Authorities: No topless dancing please, we're Thai
[Straits Times] THAI authorities say it's inappropriate that three young women danced topless in downtown Bangkok during rowdy New Year's celebrations.
I always thought that was a feature, not a bug, in Muong Thai...
Culture Minister Nipit Intarasombat said on Monday the incident during the annual Songkran water festival was 'very inappropriate and unacceptable.'
It happened last week not far from the world-famous Patpong red-light district and was captured on videos posted online.
The red light district... That's where they keep the hookers, right?
He said, 'I demand that society come out and criticise them.'
Why? They didn't have tasty looking udds?
Songkran traditionally was a time to sprinkle water on elders respectfully in exchange for blessings.
I remember it as a time to splash everybody in sight and to be splashed in turn...
Splashing water on unsuspecting friends or passers-by became a way to relieve the heat, but now the revelry often includes drunken mayhem.
Probably about the same as it was 40 years ago... (Pa diu cha pai sao fai daeng)...
