The citizens of Thailand is very jealous of overseas competitors, noting that you can try the most delicious and a real durian only in the kingdom.

The citizens of Thailand advise to try a fruit that was bought only from street stalls and, of course, peeled in your presence.

Doctors remind of a sense of proportion: “For once you should not eat more than one lobule, and in any case you should not wash down the fruit with alcohol”.

As reported on Thursday, June 2, by Associated Press, the ministry believes that making of tattoos by adherents of other religions is unethical.

According to the Minister of Culture of the country Niphit Intharasombat, his office receives the complaints from local residents who are unhappy with the fact that foreign tourists are making tattooes of the sacred image of Buddha not out of religious considerations, but following the fashion.

In addition, Intharasombat urged the artists worldwide to follow the abandonment of tattooing with Buddhist symbolism.

In Thailand, he appealed to the heads of provinces with a request to set a dialogue with the tattoo parlor.

According to Lenta.ru, Minister of Culture also intends to prohibit making of Buddhist tattoos by law.

Currently, application of religious images is not contrary to Thai law.

The population of Thailand, annually visited by millions of tourists from around the world, is mostly Buddhist. Images and statues of Buddha are sacred to Thais.

Meanwhile, the tattooes on religious themes are very popular among tourists in Thailand.

One such tattoo can cost more than 20,000 baht (about 660 dollars, or nearly 18,500 rubles).

Many vacationers treat them merely as a pretty picture without going into their sacramental sense, says RBC.

Only for the first five months of this year, the number of Russians, coming to the country for holidays, has increased by 90%.

Number of supply in Thailand continues to grow.

The representatives of the party “Puea Thai” lodged an official complaint, calling to punish the Minister for contempt of the monarch.

In particular, we are talking about the statements made by the diplomat in April this year during his visit to the United States.

In April, Piromya said that to resolve the political crisis it is required to reform the institution of the monarchy and give more power to the king.

As proof of the allegations the opposition submitted a record of the official’s speech.

The King of Thailand 82-year-old Bhumibol Adulyadej has no role in political life, but he is a symbol of unity and deeply revered by the people.

Since last September, the monarch is in the hospital.

The king has not commented on two-month anti-governmental protests in Bangkok, which killed nearly 90 people.

According to the laws of Thailand, insulting of the royal family was a serious crime punishable by imprisonment up to 15 years.

In this regard, the theme of the monarchy is a taboo for the majority of Thai politicians.
