Don't worry, you can still get booze in Bangkok. Why do you think all those twenty-something backpackers end up there?

But there are some strange restrictions on when you

can buy alcohol: only between the hours of 11am-2pm, then 5p-12am. There's just a random three hour gap in the middle of the day where they shut down all sales,

meaning a noon beer is ok but 4pm is a no-no.

You see how Winnie doesn't really have anything going on downstairs? Well, that's a problem in Poland.

The city of Tuszyn has deemed the beloved bear as an, "inappropriate hermaphrodite" and

banned his image from all schools and playgrounds.

This ought to be popular with the ladies: it is a crime in Samoa to forget your wife's birthday!

The mayor of a French town got fed up with people dying in his town. Seriously. So he issued an edict saying that no one was allowed to pass away

in Sarpourenx unless they'd already purchased a burial plot, and that anyone who broke this rule would be severely punished. Just how you punish a dead person remains unclear...

Don't worry, America has more than its fair share of obscure laws, including this one about feeding the birds. 

San Francisco is so tired of the pigeons crapping all over

everything, they've legitimately made it illegal for you to feed them. So the next time you're in the bay city, stick to the ducks.

Pro tip: don't poop at night. It's illegal to flush the toilet in Switzerland after 10:00pm -- it's considered a noise complaint.

So invest in really good candles, we guess?

This weirdly makes perfect sense for the Germans -- there are actually rules laid out by the government for naming a newborn, the most strict being that the baby's gender

must be explicitly clear.

But that's nothing compared to the Dutch, who have created a list of about 7,000 pre-approved first names that parents must choose from.

Durian is not really popular in the U.S. -- thank heavens, because it smells like hot death.

But it is wildly popular in southeast Asia, although even they have to

ban it in most public places due to the stink.

No keeping fish for enjoyment purposes. Seriously, it's a crime in the Italian city of Rome and you can be fined for having even the most basic of aquariums.

The tiny country is a sight to behold, but also notoriously strict about, well, everything. Selling chewing gum and littering can earn you insane fines, as well as spitting and

forgetting to flush a toilet. You can see a full list of the most egregious rules and penalties here.

We're going to call it now: this is by far the most confusing one on the list.

In Reno, Nevada -- the only state in all of America with legal

prostitution -- it is illegal to possess sex toys. We kid you not. But perhaps they're trying to encourage their other industry...?

A national law dictates that 35% of all music played on 'popular' radio stations must be by Canadian artists. Which means if you're headed north of the border, be prepared

for a heavy dose of the Biebs -- by law.

You're probably aware of the old tradition about men not wearing anything under their kilts, but it's actually illegal to put on underwear in Scotland.

The penalty? Two beers.

The famous 'Cuddle Puddle' of Swaziland is all about getting close and comfortable -- but keep it PG or you can end up with a massive fine or worse!

In China, you're not allowed to be reincarnated without express permission from the government. 

This feels like the exact opposite of the Oklahoma whaling law in terms of enforcement...

In Oklahoma, you are not allowed to put human boots on the hind legs of farm animals.

Which means that this was happening so often they had to pass a

law. We have never loved Oklahomans more.

This seems perfectly reasonable and responsible -- if you don't know where Oklahoma is.

For those of you who've not memorized an American map (which, don't worry, includes a sadly

high number of actual Americans as well), Oklahoma is located smack in the middle of the country, thousands of miles away from the ocean in any direction.

Hands on the handlebars at all times! And feet on the pedals, and butt on the seat...

Follow these guidelines to avoid a fine in Mexico -- which is interesting

considering helmets are NOT required.

In the Italian city of Milan, it is a fineable offense for a man to 'adjust' himself in public. Which is great for public decency, but not so much for

chafing on a hot summer's day.

You ever notice how most Japanese people are just, for lack of a better word, tiny?

That's partially because it's illegal for them to be fat. Seriously, there are legal

waistline guidelines that the locals must remain smaller than or risk fines.

(note to self: investigate the sumo exemption clause)

Unequivocally against the law in Portugal. Although how they enforce this is beyond us...

*knock knock*

"Excuse me, stranger, may I use your bathroom?"

By law in Scotland, you're required to say yes!

We're not even going to try to explain this one, but a 1986 measure in England made it illegal to hold salmon suspiciously, along with a handful (GET IT?) of

other fish.

"DROP IT KID!" -Cambodian police

Seriously, all forms of water guns are outlawed in Cambodia for fear that they can cause 'civil unrest'.

Some places still haven't updated their disgusting antiquated laws -- now presenting Huntington, West Virginia, where it's still legal for a man to physically abuse his wife on Sundays in

public.

If you actually find Bigfoot, are in British Colombia, and heavily armed, you're not allowed to shoot him. Important to keep in mind for your next weaponized vacation to Canada.

If you were asked where the art center of America was, chances are you wouldn't mention Wyoming. But a state law requires that any building that costs over $100,000 spend

at least 1% of it's value on artwork for that building.

We have no idea why -- maybe the irony was just too much for them? -- but the state of Georgia has outlawed poultry from being allowed to cross the

roads.

It's illegal to wear high heels at most ancient Greek sites. Which is just good common sense for your ankles, but also is supposed to prevent wear and tear on

the ruins.

In honor of Easter, no one can be forced to pick up garbage on the side of the highway. Kinda gives new meaning to the 'Volunteer State'.

If your life goal is to open a massive french fry operation in Western Australia, you're probably out of luck. An import law restricts the maximum number of potatos you

can own at one time.

Because apparently seeing children be happy on the beach is a bad thing, the city of Eraclea, Italy banned sand castles.

It is illegal for men to wear loose-fitting bathing suits at public pools in France. It's called fashion, sweetie, look it up.

This one didn't actually get signed into law, but it's worth noting that Capri, Italy was seriously considering doing DNA tests of uncleaned up dog mess in public, then tracking

down the owners and fining them.

Good idea in theory, but maybe not the best idea financially.

We know they totally match your jeans, but keep the boots at home in Blythe, California -- it's illegal to wear them if you don't actually own two cows.

Do you want to go skydiving, in Florida, while married, on a Sunday, and you DON'T have a penis? Well then you're breaking the law. Duh.

An old English law expressly forbids members of Parliament from dying while in office. Which, once again, seems pretty unenforceable.

All you single ladies, feel free to drink up, but it's illegal for married women to drink in La Paz, Bolivia.

You won't hear anyone offering you the chance to cat call the nuptials in Australia, where you can be fined or imprisoned for interrupting a wedding.

It's illegal to wear any camouflage patterns in Barbados -- unless you're with the military or police, of course.
