Popular Post webfact Posted March 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 11, 2021 TAT sends out latest TVC 'Miss You' to the world The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) has launched its latest in a series of TVCs, with the new one 'Miss You' sending out an emotional message to people around the world that Thailand cannot wait to welcome everyone back in the not-too-distant-future. TAT video screenshot Bangkok, 11 March, 2021 – The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) has launched its latest in a series of TVCs, with the new one ‘Miss You’ sending out an emotional message to people around the world that Thailand cannot wait to welcome everyone back in the not-too-distant-future. The TVC, while conveying a message of how much Thailand misses international visitors, also pulls at the heart strings of any viewer who is longing to return and experience the people, culture, and beaches of Thailand once again. It starts with images of a paper airplane flying into the sunset and over a sea of mist. That fades into a stunning sunset image over Phang Nga Bay before cutting to a sequence of azure seas, colourful coral reefs, and a yacht anchored offshore at sunset. The Thailand nostalgia tour continues with an overhead drone shot of cyclists on a winding evergreen mountain road, a woman skipping through sunflower fields in full bloom, and a bamboo viewing platform overlooking a sea of mist with a field of purple flowers in the foreground. After more ocean sunset sequences a colourful old town shot gives way to the people-centric theme that is core to the VDO: A Thai auntie offering an omelette over rice, a barista, and a potter making ceramic art who all miss you. Source: The final sequence again presences the beauty of the Thai coast at sunset with a family running along the shoreline before closing with another take on the opening shot of a young boy playing with his paper airplane, an analogy of the viewer’s airplane touching down in Thailand again. Throughout the VDO, images are juxtaposed with a voice-over and closed captions that reinforce an emotional message of love and longing: “Hello, there. We miss you so much! It’s been a while, how are you? You know, Thailand has something to tell you. The scenery is so much more amazing, and we look forward to welcoming you back. Waiting for your tight hugs, your pondering moments, your attention, your quality time well spent. Here in our country, people await your return, too. Auntie Toi the wok master, Nut the barista, Uncle Pong the potter, they all miss you. Lastly, we just want to tell you to take good care of yourself and we look forward to seeing you. With all the love from Thailand.” TAT is sharing the new TVC on global media channels in addition to its social media accounts and worldwide offices with the #AmazingThailand. We love you, Thailand (1).mp4 Source: https://www.tatnews.org/2021/03/tat-sends-out-latest-tvc-miss-you-to-the-world/ 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lujanit Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 This has got to be the worst commercial ever. What a load of cr@p. The people at TAT are desperate to hold onto their jobs.

Popular Post Stargeezr Posted March 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2021 It would have been nice if TVC was put into the long form of what it means, wouldn't you think? I will wait as I know that some forum user knows this information. Thanks Geezer 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Misterwhisper Posted March 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2021 I thought some honest - and admittedly sarcastic - edits were warranted here: It starts with images of a paper Thai Aiways airplane flying into bankruptcy the sunset and over a sea of mist smoke from burning sugar cane fields. That fades into a colour-corrected stunning sunset image over Phang Nga Bay choked with day tripper boats before cutting to a sequence of brownish azure seas littered with floating plastic garbage, dying colourful coral reefs trampled on by ignorant tourists, and an yacht anchored overloaded passenger ferry sinking offshore at sunset. The Thailand reality nostalgia tour continues with an overhead drone shot of cyclists being mown over by recklessly speeding, stone-drunk motorists on a winding evergreen potholed provincial mountain road, a woman skipping through sunflower ganja fields in full bloom, and a bamboo viewing platform illegally built in a nature reserve overlooking a blanket of air pollution sea of mist with an army of peddlers selling useless trinkets "Made in China" scurrying around field of purple flowers in the foreground. After more doctored ocean sunset sequences a dilapidated colourful old town shot gives way to the hypocrisypeople-centric theme that is the core lie to the VDO: A Thai auntie offering an overpriced omelette over rice much lamenting how many children she has to feed because her husband ran off with the mia noi, a barista charging you four times the local price for a cup of coffee, and a potter making tacky ceramic art that you cannot possibly fit into your luggage without it arriving shattered into pieces -- who all miss your money. 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
