Undergarments being sold with prints of Thai flag and map

The ministry’s permanent secretary, Preecha Kanthiya, said yesterday that the agency had contacted the Foreign Ministry, the Ministry of Information and Communication Technology, the police and related agencies to tackle the problem of the offensively printed undergarments and those forwarding such product data. He urged the Thai public not to support such goods, watch out for offensive items and create a good understanding among foreigners about issues that affected national dignity and integrity. 

Urging people to report cultural offences via 1765, he said the ministry had produced a handbook “Do’s and Don’ts According to Thai Culture”, which can be downloaded via www.m-culture.go.th, www.culture.go.th and www.c-me.go.th.
