Nursing association files complaint against bar

The Nurses' Association of Thailand yesterday filed a police complaint against a night entertainment venue in Bangkok's Min Buri district getting its hostesses to wear nurse's uniforms and even advertising services from women dressed as nurses.

Association chairwoman Assoc Prof Jintana Uniphan said this practice damaged the image of the nursing profession, adding that she had told Royal Thai Police spokesman Pol Lt-General Prawut Thawornsiri that in response to the complaint, Min Buri police had removed the advertising banners. However, she said, images were still being widely circulated on social media. 
Prawut said the owners of the club would be summoned by police, though police have not yet decided whether putting up these banners in public places violated any laws. 
He later called on bar operators or owners to be careful about running activities that affect the image of different professions and said he would instruct police stations to continue monitoring such practices.
