I was really having a hard time understanding this until I read that last sentence. What with Bangkok's wild reputation, you'd think the mere act of topless dancing would hardly draw more than a yawn.

The only way this makes sense is if it's somehow viewed as an affront to some quasi-sacred/time-honored Thai ceremony.
