Actress and university student Chotiros Suriyawong will shed her sexy evening dress to accomplish her latest mission of reading books for the blind.
She will also perform other types of community service as part of punishment meted out by Thammasat University."We have resolved to issue her a written warning. We've also required her to read books for the blind for 15 days and do some other community service," Thammasat vice rector Parinya Thewanarumitkul told a press conference yesterday. "This case is closed." Thammasat was under pressure to act after Chotiros, a senior at the university, appeared in a revealing dress at the Subhana-hongsa Awards ceremony this month. Chotiros won media attention for her ultra-sexy attire and a hint that she sashayed down without underwear. Following public condemnation, Sahamongkol Film chief Somsak Techaratanaprasert has ordered all footage of Chotiros to be deleted from one of his movies. Chotiros was in tears during yesterday's press conference at her university. "I am so sorry for what has happened. I would like to apologise," she said. Chotiros was summoned to explain the incident to Thammasat executives and lecturers yesterday. She showed them the controversial dress, which has special sewn-in underwear. Asked whether she wore the dress to attract attention, Chotiros replied, "I don't want to make my name known in this way." A Dusit Poll showed 67.61 per cent of respondents supported Somsak's move against Chotiros. Conducted on February 14-15, the survey questioned 749 students and 264 teachers and lecturers. Almost 82 per cent of respondents believed Chotiros chose to wear an inappropriate dress. Nearly 72 per cent said Thammasat should punish her.
