Culture Cops (13): In Thailand

Trev calls Val to share a story about a man in Thailand who left his house without underwear on, which is illegal.

Val: Hello?

Trev: Hey, Val. It's Trev. You got a minute? I have to share the weirdest story with you!

Val: Yeah, give me just a second to sit down… OK, go for it!

Trev: OK, so you know that law in Thailand that says you aren't allowed to leave the house without underpants on?

Val: …. Yeah?

Trev: Well. It happened. It finally happened! We had ourselves a little commando situation, and I had to arrest someone for not wearing underpants when they left the house.

Val: This may be a stupid question, but how can you just KNOW someone isn't wearing any underwear the second they walk out of their house?

Trev: Let's just say he was too antsy to wear his pants-ies.

Val: Sure glad I didn't have to deal with that!
