This Songkran, you may have to take
it easy on the dance floor and opt for a turtleneck instead of a skimpy,
smelly beer-logo tank top, because police will be out looking to arrest
those with sexy dance moves and revealing clothing.
.
Songkran, aka the water festival, is
becoming too sexy for the Thai police to handle. No more sexy girls
dancing in the back of pickup trucks. No more sexy shirtless dudes in
Silom. They will all be arrested.
.
The punishment for people who dance
suggestively or wear suggestive clothing is a THB5,000 fine, about
US$145. The news has been published all over local media. One of the
reasons behind this campaign is simply to protect sexy people from
crimes. Deputy Commissioner Pol. Maj. Gen. Sompong Chingduang even warned ladies not to “wear revealing clothes” or “be tempting because it will lead to sex crimes,” Daily News reported.
.
So the logic here is, if there were no sexy girls, there would be no sexual assaults. Got it, sir.
It is not reported how police will define sexy dance moves.
