Sola THANI- Following numerous complaints about tourists going shirtless, signs have been erected at beaches on Koh Phangan, the site of the legendary full sun parties.  ,
On Wednesday, local officials set up the signs and distributed brochures to guests to the beach and nearby tourist attractions like the Zen Beach and Key Beach restaurants and hotels.
According to Koh Phangan police captain Pol Col Apichart Chansamret, people porn is forbidden in Thailand and offenders face having their visas voided.
He claimed that there had been concerns about foreign visitors at Secret Beach and Zen Beach swimming, sunbathing, playing songs, drawing photos, and other recreational pursuits while dressed.
” They go to the shores for rest, and they are drawn there by word of mouth because they find them to be beautiful and serene,” Pol Col Apichart said.
However, he claimed that Thai law prohibits public nudity and that up to$ 5,000 in fines apply.
Thawil Ruangthong, a citizen of Koh Phangan, claims that the area was visited by a wide variety of people. Some of them showed no respect for the local society by going nude in public.
The no-public-nudity plan comes after a Polish couple was apprehended on Monday after being seen in the middle of a road and seen hugging one another.
