For those who enjoy noting deep-seated differences among cultures, here’s one you probably wouldn’t find in Hollywood. A student and aspiring actress who appeared in a revealing dress at the Thai equivalent of the Oscars has been given community service as punishment for undermining morality.
Chotiros Amy Suriyawong ensured maximum media exposure by stepping out last week in a full-length black gown, tantalisingly split from cleavage to hips to hem. But the authorities at her university described the outfit as obscene and gave her 15 days of reading books to the blind as punishment.

Sorry Blog Guy — sometimes you just gotta phone them in.
In other news, aspiring actress Chotiros Amy Suriyawong was seen in Santa Monica with Matthew McConaughey on Feb 13 …
In my opinion Chotiros Suriyawong dress is not too revealing. The Miss Asia 2006 contest is more revealing, the contestant have to wear more revealing dress in the evening wear segment
I think her dress is too revealing. I compared her Drees and Liz’s dress at: http://www.schoolmall.ca/chotiros-suriya wong.html She is too much!
Reading books to the blind? If I were there, I’d pretend to be… blind!
