2016 Motor Show in Bangkok

Post by Nereus »

This has been listed in another thread, but worth posting here. All the latest cars, pickups, motorcycles, bare boobs and much more.
One hopeful has a display of the latest Air Stream caravans, and another a 44 foot long Italian made Cranchi luxury motor yacht. How the hell they managed to get that in there is beyond me!

What appears to be the complete range of Aston Martin cars, 3 or 4 Rolls Royce's and endless also ran's.
A separate section selling tools and accessories, where the air con has stalactites hanging down.(but no pretties in here).
Go early if you want a close parking spot, the main area was full when I left around 1-30 pm.

Prayut wants antics of motorshow 'pretties' regulated

http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/general ... -regulated

Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha wants the Culture Ministry and the police to impose a limit on provocative shows by "pretties" at motor shows.

The prime minister reacted Tuesday to a social media outcry over a video clip featuring a lewd performance by a male and female model at the Bangkok International Motor Show, that began last Wednesday....................

and here:

Cars, pretties at Motor Show(37 Photos)

I don't think that I am any sort of prude by a long shot, but I have to agree with this B.S. All very well to have some elegant dressed models presenting the cars, but to have a bunch of VERY young girls dangling 90% of their boobs in your face is something else. I did not see the dance clip referred to, but one I did see I doubt that go-go girls in a bar would have been more revealing.

Pretty yes, but they all look too artificially plastic to me, could you imagine going out with one, she'd probably be taking 6 selfies per minute.

Naturally I had to research this a little further ...

And this is what they objected to ...

A motor show without sexy ladies ????? Geneva, Paris, Frankfurt all those have sexy hostesses. I applaud this provocation in Bangkok, well done for the stupid suggestion of some Mr. Chuck Wao.......
