Jonathan Fairfield Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Tourism Authority of Thailand launches new campaign to promote country's diversity Thailand’s Tourism Authority has launched a new global campaign that aims to promote Thailand to the next generation of travelers. The campaign, called ‘Open to the new shades’ highlights all the things which have helped to make Thailand one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world: beaches, food, culture and the kind and hospitable Thai people.

1337markus Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Are they serious, "without walls" is defeated when you hit Immigration queues for hours and miss your domestic flight. Diversity is challenged with dual pricing for farang. New food, nah; food is the same globally just prepared differently. So a good waste of money, unless you aspire to be a female farang wanting to learn Muay Thai. How this encourages farang families to visit.......................... maybe if I watch 10 times I might find the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srikcir Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 15 hours ago, Jonathan Fairfield said: Tourism Authority of Thailand launches new campaign to promote country's diversity Thailand lacks any significant religious, ethnic and cultural diversity. In a sense it's Thailand's lack of diversity that might be attractive to tourism. TAT's campaign might more honestly be called ‘Open to the new shades of Money.’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a1falang Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Open to the new shades? This doesn't sound grammatical to me. What is this supposed to mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darcula Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I saw a lot of new shades in Bangkok once, after a bad bowl of noodle soup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timewilltell Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Perhaps 'shades' refers to the culture - a right shady one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sawadee1947 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Actually a good idea. However I'm missing some description of robberies, cheatings, murdering, stealing, garbage, and of course being a hub in the world........ In fatal death rates on the roads. And enjoy all fun a military govt can offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quandow Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 The Hub angle didn't work. "Thainess" didn't work. DIVERSITY! Yay diversity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOTIRIOS Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 ....no lasting impression whatsoever... ...zero creativity... a mishmash... ...were the foreign actors given work permits or what...??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIWIBATCH Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 "Open to the new Shades"....grammatically it doesn't make sense...if I happened to see these words on a tourist brochure about Thailand...I would wonder <deleted> it meant...New shades of what?......scamming...corruption? (there's enough of that already)...a real mishmash of a jingle...at least the previous head numptie at TAT promoted the duiran flavoured Kit Kats in a clear concise manner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was once the customs were closed at 645am, Somchai woke up late or something. Only Thai passportholders could go through because they could use the automated gantry.
