Different countries though. But still the arrests for ridiculous dancing in a private establishment in Cambodia, now spread out all over the international media can't be very inviting for young people looking to visit here.Beerinthemorning wrote: ↑Mon Jan 29, 2018 8:21 pm 1 year for pornographic dancing, one year for smoking a ciggy.

yeh this is a good time for westerners to realise the far east may not be so inviting like it used to be.whiteribbon wrote: ↑Mon Jan 29, 2018 9:22 pmDifferent countries though.

Re: smoking ban on beaches started yesterday
We can’t fine people 100K or send them to jail for smoking on the beach, admits Pattaya official
11 August 2018
The head of Pattaya’s thesakit authority has responded to claims that tourists are still messing up the beach by smoking and tossing their cigarette butts.
He said that the local authorities hands are tied when it comes to big penalties.
But when asked to come up with statistics for how many small fines have been issued he was just as evasive.
Sophon Cable interviewed Jeerawat Sukhonthasap after a Fanpage was rife with comment that Pattaya’s beaches were as filthy as ever littered with discarded cigarettes and people smoking – and they pointed the finger squarely at tourists.
This is despite signage going up in many places in Thailand saying that offenders can face 100,000 baht fines and a year in jail.
Jeerawat effectively said that there was no way that anyone was going to jail or being fined such a large sum.
Those regulations are based on environmental laws, he said. The thesakit (local authority responsible for such matters) can in reality only fine people up to 2,000 baht for littering under “phor ror bor” regulations.
