Thailand's government has warned women they face up to five years in prison for taking so-called 'underboob selfies' after the trend swept social media. The practice of photographing the lower half of one's breasts and posting the images online has become an increasingly popular pastime in the south east Asian country. But Thailand's military government today said it would be willing to prosecute anybody posting underboob selfies online, claiming the practice is 'inappropriate' and will lead to prosecutions under the country's strict computer crime laws. |

The military junta running Thailand is extremely conservative, and seems to think that if people just don't learn about, hear about or see anything related to sex, they will only have proper healthy sex for procreation with their married partner.
Meanwhile, of course, the prostitution industry is allowed to continue, and young girls can easily be bought for sex all over Thailand.
This follows a string of stupid laws like banning the game Tropico because it parodies a military junta, and banning the Hunger Games movies because it's about young people standing up to a corrupt government.
But to me, what surprises me most, is the reaction of the Thais. They don't seem to care. Everyone thinks these laws are stupid, but most just shrug and act disinterested. There's no big call to return to democracy.
Where is Thailand going?
