Thailand’s video thank-you to the world airs on CNN

By The Nation

 

 

The government has released a video expressing the country’s thanks for global support and sympathy during the daunting 17-day search and rescue mission at Chiang Rai’s Tham Luang Cave.

 

It was first aired on CNN on Sunday and is being widely shared on social media. 

 

The video produced by the Tourism Authority of Thailand opens with the July 2 scene of the Wild Boars football team stranded inside the dark cave, emaciated but safe. 

 

The text message in the video notes that humanity was at its best, with expert divers, engineers and doctors from around the world gathering to attempt the so-called “Mission Impossible”. 

 

“An entire country in one in heartfelt thanks,” the text says. “Without national boundaries, working in unity, the world is one. Thank You [from] the People of Thailand.”

 

The rescue mission from June 24-July 10 captured global attention, with prominent figures including US President Donald Trump, SpaceX founder Elon Musk and football icons such as David Beckham commenting publicly on the unprecedented effort.

 Not only proper, but a brilliant PR move presenting Thailand in a positive fashion..  

Well, at least you got a shot at an honest commercial, when you watch fake news.

Totally agree 100% As a side note, Thailand may have become the 1st country to use social media to thank the World. I do know that the bamboo grapevine has been heating up with this video.

Not a problem as money hungry Thais and in particular TAT will probable release this video on a CD ... for a price of course

It will never air on Fox as it is too positive.
