Got me beat with your answer, cos cannot understand what you are saying.
A thai lb stops you in the street and asks you what? go back to loom? which cultural law have they just broke? is it not allowed or found disrespectful if a lb asks these questions? do not say prostitution is illegal, she hasn't said for money yet.
A girl sunbathes topless on a beach, topless sunbathing is disrespectful and a thai child would be taught that this is not expected or acceptable behaviour for a thai person, against their cultural upbringing.
Do you disagree with this?
A visa run to Ranong yes perhaps..
But really the tourist zones of Phuket / Samui / Patts / Etc.. Well they are Thai lite at best (or worst perhaps).. Its a long way and a rapid pace of change from Thai norms of even a decade ago..

Do not agree with you, based only on the point I was trying to make. It has been on other threads and is to some extent on this one, seeming to be said, because Patong is commercialised then every thai who lives there is not a normal Thai, and normal upbringing and teachings are no longer applying to these people. Why not? what teachings culturally does Bee not adhere to or believe in now?? all of them??? so a Thai is no longer going to find a topless sunbathing woman disrespectful now because they live in Phuket??? she will now go topless sunbathing herself with no shyness or feelings of guilt??
Many people are still living the same lives here on Phuket that they have done for more than just the last 10 years. There is a rapid pace of change but is this affecting their culture, their beliefs, their upbringing, is it okay now to touch them on the head, to shout at them, to make fun of the king or to not stand for the national anthem?? not noticed these things have changed nor differ from up north!!!
