New Pattaya clampdown – going topless in bars banned!
Long an ugly menace in Fun Town, with acres of (usually Eastern European) male, blubbery, beery fat wobbling all over the place, Pattaya's city fathers have finally decided to get tough and ordered police to secretly clamp down on the unsightly flesh mess polluting Pattaya’s sois.
Our photographer was on hand recently when the first foreigner in Fat Town was fined for not wearing a shirt.
According to our secret source, from now on, all shirtless Eastern European men found shamelessly parading around Pattaya with their pot bellies proudly poking out of their too-small shirts, will be arrested and fined, with deportation and imprisonment used only as a last resort.
Pattaya’s bar owners have also been stitched up and pressed into service with the warning: “no more topless Russian blokes in your bars”.
This comes as a relief to those of us for whom the sight of a hairy pair of size 56 knockers on a drunken fat bloke with an open shirt, or no shirt at all, does nothing except make us feel ill, drink up and leave.
However, one shirty bar owner fumed: “If I have to ban topless Russian men, who’ll be left to buy drinks”?
Nobody at City Hall had the slightest clue what we were talking about when we called for a comment, "proving there is indeed a secret clampdown going on", our reported added.

You make an excellent point, And we can only live in hope.
But if it were stunning Russian women going topless in bars and on the streets, we wouldn't be writing this stuff, we can assure you!

Lets every body enjo as they want to, I dont see any probleum with any one removing his shirt and especially whaile he is at those beer bar as it tends to get hot some time and this is what you dont want when your are having a drinks. So why not bothered with more important issues then brother russians because of their shirts.

When I go to the zoo and see the long-haired European gorilla,
imagine my surprise if it started wearing a shirt. It's a step in evolution, that
for some reason, nature has not made. It would be like telling the Brits they are not privileged, you can tell them but they're not going to listen. "Uncivilized" is just that.
I do however skip any establishment that allows someone's broad backfat to lie about and then
expect me to sit there next.

Headline nearly made me panic- There's already some kind of bye-law banning the girls from baring the their wares and for one ghastly moment, I thought that the Wise Ones were going to attack the go-go dens that are managing to stay open again and to deprive the Isaan of one of its main exports; it's nubile boob-flashers. A clampdown here would merely deprive us poor old fools whose high point of the day is still to enjoy a few minutes memory of youthful conquests while drooling into our already diluted promo beverage.
Instead, it's a clampdown not on our memories but on our fears of what's to come. However, banning behaviour in bars is a rather pointless operation as its enforcement is so haphazard and usually results in the bars being penalised instead of the perpetrators (e.g. smoking ban). Far better control could be applied within the bars themselves. A 50% surcharge on shirtless blobs and their entourage would certainly discourage such anti-social behaviour more efficiently. After all, that's how a bar-girl discourages the attentions of an unwanted admirer.

Sorry but it’s not just the EE males that have this attitude . Many Bits and Yanks and Aussies and other Euros. I wish there was a clamp down on them, many a bar owner has lost out on my and friends baht because some loser is sitting there sweating all over his upholstery. If your bar operates a “No Shirt No Service” policy let me know, a two week millionaire wants to have fun.

I know Baby Dolls has a ban on male toplessness, but some of the blubbery male sights allowed into quieter dens this high season have been disgusting.

Its about time but why they are at it can they start to issue fines for the 6 foot ugly as sin ladyboys. They make me want to vomit too.

Going shirtless precludes the inordinate expense of laundering,as parsimony is a national
trait of these EE's the saving of 10 baht can make a lot of difference as they big it up in funtown.I myself would never bare my chiselled torso in public,it would provoke envy and feelingsof inadequacy in other men,and cause resentment among the girls as they vie for my attention,that's me all over,always thinking of others,absolute toff and no mistake.
