Thai PM becomes star of new tourism video

[webfact]

 

Thailand’s prime minister has become the unlikely star of a new music video, posted on the government’s Thai Khu Fah Facebook page, in an effort to promote tourism.

 

The video itself features beautiful scenes of Krabi’s Nopparat Beach and includes the prime minister and his entourage’s visit, prior to the cabinet meeting on November 16th.

 

 

Solo photos and videos of the prime minister were used, along with the song “Sand and Sea”, sung by famous Thai diva Nantida Kaewbuasai back in 1998 and who is currently President of Samut Prakan Provincial Administrative Organisation.

Helloooo handsome man I go you loom ????

The other day I saw  that the TAT  had also recruited the famous Thai band

"F***ing  Hero" for a promo video ! 

[CrunchWrapSupreme]

I saw this on that Thai Rath ladyboy news show last night. They were trying to take it seriously, but had a hard time keeping a straight face about it. ????

 

The piece also covered the gargantuan budget he plans to throw at this.

Thank goodness the shots of him prancing in the surf in his Speedo were left on the cutting room floor.

Interesting choice of wardrobe. A shirt made from an old curtain with dollar signs on.

[Crossy]

Guaranteed to scare of the tourist who was going to come!

Yeah, the only thing that is a fact here is "unlikely".

Considering his right-hand man called foreigners "dirty", then this is a.:

Kindly make sure that the title is corrected as it seems that this video is related to the recent floods, not tourism !

But, then again, I might be wrong

Narcissistic personality disorder affects more males than females, and it often begins in the teens or early adulthood. Keep in mind that it can be found most frequently in politicians all over the world and is becoming a global pandemic of egotistical proportions.

Oh, puh...leeza. Haven't we heard from this nutbag enough?  Why hasn't he yet ordered tourists to visit Thailand.  Loves to issue orders.

It’s akin to having Vlad the poisoner or Comrade Personality  promote your country. ????

His usual drab khaki military ware would've been a more subliminal fit. 

[Destiny1990]

Wow who came up with this flashy promotional video concept?

I do like your comparisons; however, Mr. Bean is far more intelligent!

[rtco]

It's actually a con because he's promoting the fact that they need submarines which is why there are all the water shots.

[Muhendis]

Nothing wrong with the idea of promoting your country but watching this with the sound turned off it looks a bit drab and uninteresting to me.

[RAZZELL]

No mask...tut tut.

Seems to be "Uncles on the Beaches With Nude Faces" theme.
