There are some pretty crazy ways to break the law out there… now have probably never even crossed your mind - so here's five that you can thank me for telling you later;)

Smoking in Bhutan

If you're a smoker and want to visit Bhutan, it looks like you're either going to have to buy a shed load of Nicotine patches or simply give up! This tiny Himalayan country is notoriously harsh when if comes to smokers. You can't smoke nor can you bring them into the country. Smoking in public will lump you with a hefty fine and if you get caught selling Tobacco products you could get thrown into the slammer! Be warned.

Sleeping on the wings of Angels

This is a great one… In Buenos Aires - the Argentine government officially made featherbeds illegal because they believe that, “such an indulgence induces and encourages lascivious feelings” (according to the Argentina Independent). It appears that the government doesn't want its populace getting too comfy;)

Wearing high heels in Ancient Greece

If you're on holiday in Greece and want to mix a Heavenly dinner with a stroll through ancient times… you're going to have to leave the heels at home. In order In order to Preserve Greece's ancient sites the government has been all shoes that could damage these Spectacular sites. If you do rock up the Parthenon be prepared to have to walk around bare-footed in the blazing sun!

Going Commando in Thailand

This is a personal favorite that I can't believe is true because I have no idea how they enforce it! But apparently, in Thailand there is a law that prohibits you from leaving your house going Commando (ie without wearing any underwear). Not sure if you'd get away with saying you ran out of underwear… but I wouldn't want to be the sucker to find out!

Feeding the Birds in Venice

One of my pet hates is people who feed pigeons or seagulls. It drives me mental! So for this law I'm actually quite glad it exists. Lucky in Venice the traditional of turning yourself into a human bird feeder is no more. It's now illegal to feed the Birds. According to 'Europe Up Close', those who violate the rule can be fined up to $ 700.

There are also tons of household items that if you tried to bring into Japan, such as 3-methylmorphine (AKA - Codeine) and Vicks VapoRub Inhalers, could land you in the slammer! If you want to know more about the strange things you can't bring into Japan just click here.
