Gambling isn’t a welcomed pastime in Thailand. In fact, unless it’s the local lottery, wagers aren’t accepted at all. Conservative minds were blown when social media ‘net idol’, Ponpan Mayple Promdum, aka Mayple Pink Pink, took to Facebook live to parade around in the buff to promote an online casino. The 30-minute paid advertisement only cost the unknown gambling site THB 3k, or about USD $86. How’s that for a marketing on a budget?
The 26-year-old’s risqué display is a violation local law, Thailand’s Computer Crime Act, and quickly caught the attention of Thai police when a reported 150,000 voyeurs logged on to watch the show. Following her arrest, she apologized for violating the law and was handed a small fine.
Vowing never to make a naked internet appearance again, Mayple said, ''I do not want other net idol pretties and models to fall into the same trap as me.
''I am very sorry for damaging the image of Thai women and I will not do this again. I hope that people can forgive me.''
Needless to say, she won’t be quitting her day job, which has her doing stripteases in adult clubs and doing online product reviews, which as long as she keeps her pants on, she should be fine.
As for the police, they’ll be patrolling Facebook for more naughty shenanigans. Tough job, eh?

porn and gambling goes hand in hand also in other places, just check out pornhubcasino.com. For me it is the most funny casino of all times. The idea to combine these two items together is great. It would be even more fun if there were naked live dealers at the table games

Yeah, its kind of interesting reading stories from Thailand. Not sure what could I possibly say on this. I see people get interested with over 140 K visitors. These are really nice numbers and it seems 'nude' can sell in Thailand. They never get bored of naked female body ..

Thailand is interesting in many ways. In terms of vices it seems to be an odd jumble. As far as I know prostitution is illegal but widely tolerated, for many visitors it is a huge part of their tourist experience actually. It is interesting that the offense cited here was punished very mildly...it seems that thai culture involves a high degree of tolerance for sexual hijinks...although I hear that this does not extend to infidelity in marriage. Drinking is okay and legal, but gambling is not and drug offenses are punished severely. But exceptions are made for betting on cock fighting and kick boxing... I suppose the bottom line is that the sun, warmth and beautiful beaches are the most basic, simple and pure draw for visitors and benefit for residents...

Ponpan Mayple Promdum O.O.... Can't help but notice that 150,000 were still hooked in despite pornography being basically in our faces everywhere these days. One would think we should be fairly desensitized to it and require more than some naked woman parading around to get us to try out something. But I guess baits like...

This is a funny story. In some countries, the baring of a woman's breast is not considered illegal or obscene. You would think that Thailand with its lax laws on sexuality would honor this woman rather than fine her.

Its not the first time we see pornography or lewd photos or videos used to attract customers.

Its not the first time we see pornography or lewd photos or videos used to attract customers. We already saw opening of Pornhub casino, mixing porn and gambling (even live porn and gambling in the form of live dealer games), there is already a number of slots featuring adult themes etc. Im pretty sure all of it will extend to advertising as well and we will surely see more of it. Sadly, it seems it works, and too often people are attracted to it like bees to the honey...

Are you kidding me?? Will they stop at nothing anymore in this perverted society to attract attention to themselves? This goes for all kinds of sites, people, on and on. It's like no one has respect for themselves or the public that might come across their shananigans you know? Unbelievable that a lot of people have...

It's like no one has respect for themselves or the public that might come across their shananigans you know? Unbelievable that a lot of people have stooped to that level just to get the attention they are wanting for one reason or another. Shameful in my opinion, and not at all funny or respectable.
