There's a mania for sharing self-taken photographs online. The craze of Selfie reached everywhere and now people showing creativity by posing for different type of selfies. As the trend was spreading fast recently there was a new craze of underboob selfies.

Many foreign women have joined the so-called underboob selfies trend by taking photos of their body up from the waist to the breast without showing the nipples. Later they are sharing them in online.

Thailand government imposed ban on these underboob selfies and the culture Ministry warned that they could end up violating the Computer Crime Act.The warning came from Yupha Thaweewattanakijborworn, director of the Culture Watch Office of the Culture Ministry. According to the culture ministry offenders could face up to 5 years in jail.

" When people take these ‘underboob selfies’ no one can see their faces. So it's like, we don't know who these belong to, and it encourages others to do the same. We can only warn people to not take it up. They are inappropriate actions."

For Thailand’s reputation as a sex-tourism destination of ill repute, the country has some pretty regressive laws when it comes to nudity. The ministry did not clarify how the offenders would be identified.
