Thais scream outrage as foreigners wear "Thai flag" on their feet!

[Naamblar2014]

Blacklist the model,  the designer,  the people who actually made the shoes,  the factory owner who employs the people who make the shoes,  the people who attended the fashion show who applauded,  the fashion show people who shared the images,  the people that liked the shared images,  heck blacklist the whole falang(se) country

Do you know how many flags have the colours red/white/blue on them as the only colours of the flag? I looked but didn't count, but it's gotta be a significant percentage by just looking at the flag. Then there are the flags that have those 3 colours plus a symbol.

 

How can people get so riled up over something this insignificant? Man, Larry Flynt once wore an American flag as a diaper to a court hearing.

Why does this amaze you?

Read the comment I was replying to. 

But then, to many Thais it seems that there is only one farangland so I guess I should not be amazed.....

I did.  That post was  amazed at "over kill plus incorrect usage of the British Union flag".  It doesn't provide any context as to why you're amazed about something different.

[DILLIGAD]

 

I'm amazed at the over kill plus incorrect usage of the British Union flag within Thailand.

 

Should British citizens consider the missus of the British Union flag offensive or insensitive?

 

Yet another pathetic and negative response to something very unimportant.

 

I for one think the shoes look nice.

 

Thais should maybe consider it as a compliment.

 

 

 

It’s probably a lot safer to show/fly a Union Flag here in Thailand, than in the UK. You would be labeled with all sorts of silly titles/names there (except patriotic), I’m sure.

Purely as a design, I love the Union Jack. Looks great on guitar bodies, amp faces... Not so fond of US flag: it is a rather odd duck with that box up in left corner jam packed with stars. I'm American, by the way.

These flags are red, white and blue.  The failed education system in full force again on this one

I kinda feel the same way about the Aussie flag, that box with the Union Jack on it.

You know you guys and the kiwi’s really need to get your own flags, dump the whole empire thing.

I kinda feel the same way about Hawaii since they still keep the Union Jack as part of their flag, just because Cook ‘discovered’ them!

Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has ordered the Foreign Ministry and concerned agencies to look into fashion footwear from Paris incorporating the colours of the Thai flags into its design, after it caused outrage among some social media users.

 

“But I don’t know what and if we can do,” said General Prayut on Tuesday. “We have the National Flag Act to enforce but the colours [red, white and blue] are universal.” 

 

????

Duh, small minded and kneejerk reactions by all concerned. Seems that so many Thai are unaware of a very large world outside their national boundaries.

[digger70]

So now the thais are trying to say that the colours belong to Thailand? How stupid is that ,,,,Anyone can use whatever colour they want and in whatever order they want. Nobody  can claim  colours they exist all over the world.

[vinegarbase]

If it's not in Thailand then if they don't like it they can leave! How about they stop treating foreigners like animals with their 24 hr. address reporting wherever we go.

Are they not also the French colours?

Yes, as has already been mentioned some 22 times on the preceding 15 pages.

but, that reasoning would then means all the following are the same...

 

until you count the instances of each colour within... 

 

 

[RickFarang]

Do they really believe that Thailand has an exclusive right to that set of colors?

guess they could always put the elephant back on; which would at least give some weight to their argument?

There was a Norwegian company selling fashion shoes and socks with the Norwegian flag on in Bangkok a couple of years ago and they were popular among Thais , go figure.

 

 

 

 

[AlexRich]

I'd be surprised if the designer even knew it was the Thai flag, they probably just liked the colours. When they start making toilet paper ... that's when you have a right to complain.

[apophyss]

Again !

Every weeks they do like it's first april !

 

But it isn't, it's real !

Does the forced fishing labour in Thailand sparkle the same outrage to the Thai government?

Completely illegal in the US to put the Flag on clothes (unless a patch on a Military, Police, Fire etc Uniform)

It is Chapter 1 of Title 4 of the United States Code (4 U.S.C. § 1 et seq). This is a U.S. federal law, but the penalty described in Title 18 of the United States Code (18 U.S.C. § 700) for failure to comply with it is not enforced.

 

Well, illegal or not, it is done and we all saw such pix. If this forum would allow posting them I would go through the trouble of uploading some. 

Wondering seriously, if not some French designer was playing with colour bands; the US flag is somewhat more sophisticated than the Thai, Indonesian or many European flags (Germany, Belgium, France etc.).

Well of course not. 

95% of them aren’t even aware of WW2, yet alone the Nazi’s, the Holocaust, the Japanese occupation!

 

Sometimes you do just have to shake your head in despair at the ignorance of it all

 

I often defer to Mrs G on this, who openly admits that until she went to the US when she was 15 to live with her uncle, she was totally ignorant about all of this stuff.

 

Don’t think anything has improved in the past 35 years!

This is what happens when you allow thai people on the internet unsupervised.
