just found this on Lazada Thailand.

Are the sellers on that site exempt from causing 'outrage'?

 

Brits should write to the Thailand ambassador, expressing their outrage that Thais are stomping on the Union Jack!

The shoes with straps and holding pieces in the colors of the Thai red, white and blue flag appeared on Facebook on the site of "Vogue Paris".

Confused! Isn't the Thailand flag of choice red, white and black? ????

Its not ok to wear shoes with red, white and blue colors because it looks like the Thai flag, but wearing shoes with the Brazilian flag is ok lol

The Buddhist teaching of the golden rule is widespread in Thailand I see, or is it only when it suits Thais?

We live in the age of taking offence and being outraged over trivial issues, promoted by the media and spread through the internet.

Just to balance thing up, also found on Lazada Thailand and this is from a local seller rather than from overseas.

 

Yes, they are LED shoes.

If I was an American I wouldn't know what to be offended at most, Somchai treading on my flag or how gaudy they have made my flag look.

Thankfully, older folks are less influenced or offended by social media BS!

Its like Gays, some hyper sensitive, most normal balanced.

Perhaps they should be looking a bit closer to home if they want to complain about Thai logos on footwear. (It took 45 seconds to pick these few out.......)

Raciest Shoe Collections should be banned.

When the World Cup was on, you could buy flip flops and sandals in Thai department stores with flags/colors of all the big teams. Fortunately for Converse there isn't much likelihood of Thailand making a World Cup anytime soon.

Yet how many Thais wear shirts and shorts (and possibly underwear) with flags of other nations on them? That is apparently OK though in Thailand.

Furthermore the designers could not be prosecuted as the shoes were made and displayed outside Thailand.

Ah, but when the Junta rule the world and the Thai language is the number one language in the world......

[Orton Rd]

No pics of knickers with flags on then?

Shoes with flags are a national matter....whatever...

[poohy]

To have to have it explained to them that its in a different country and Thailand has no influence and  Thailand does not own the colours and other flags have the same colours  really says it all.

 

You really have wonder what the IQ is for the majority of Thais, but an intellectually challenged populace (thick as ) thats what the ruling classes want

Boy oh boy, am I gonna complain to the Thai authorities the next time I see a Thai wearing red, white, and blue shoes or flip-flops!!!  I'm incensed.  The person in the picture is wearing American flag colors near their feet!  And the French should be angry too!  As well as the Russians, North Koreans, Costa Ricans, my God, half the world's population should be simply Shocked!!!

FRANCE: The colors and design of the cockade are the basis of the Tricolour flag, adopted in 1790. The only difference was that the 1790 flag's colors were reversed. A modified design by Jacques-Louis David was adopted in 1794.

 

THAILAND: The Thailand flag was officially adopted on September 28, 1917. Red is said to symbolize the blood of life, white the purity of the Buddhist faith, and blue the monarchy. The blue and white stripes were added to the flag during World War I.

 

USA: On June 14, 1777, the Continental Congress passed an act establishing an official flag for the new nation. The resolution stated: “Resolved, that the flag of the United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation."

You forgot The Netherlands, they have their flag since 1572

OMG! The Horror!!!

[giddyup]

Thaivisa notes that Thai people are very sensitive when it comes to connecting anything of importance with the feet.  

 

Yet seem to have no problem treating their country as a rubbish dump.

Crazy story about nothing.
