Cultural Committee Chairman speaks out on recent Russian Public Sex case

[LaaMok]

On Monday we spoke with Khun Surat, in his capacity as the Chairman of the Banglamung Cultural Committee about the recent cases of foreigners being caught conducting lewd acts in public places. The most recent reported case was a couple from Russia who were caught having sex at the Bali Hai Port located at the south end of Pattaya Beach, over the weekend. In the majority of these cases, the participants are fined between 500 and 2,000 Baht which is not enough according to Khun Surat who believes a sterner punishment should be given to those who conduct the lewd acts as these small fines are not enough of a deterrent. According to Thai culture, public displays of affection are frowned upon. Khun Surat believes that this situation must be controlled sooner rather than later as the image these stories are portraying to the rest of the world are not helping the image of Pattaya as a tourist destination suitable for families. Khun Surat will be sending a report to the Governor of Chonburi Province to ask for a change in the law to allow for sterner punishment in cases involving lewd acts in a public place.
