Popular Post orchis Posted March 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 17, 2022 She is not the focus of the investigation; she didn't break any law; she signed a contract abroad and the publicity (commercial) is not used in Thailand (where publicity for alcohol is illegal). The investigation looks for Thai fans (and fangroups) in Thailand reposting the foreign publicity on social media (FB, IG). 11 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Local plebs posting on Facebook are much easier for the local 'authorities' to bully and extort than an internationally known star with money. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Raphael54 Posted March 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 17, 2022 Apparently these nut cases have absolutely nothing better to do. The government should be ashamed of itself to waste resources, tax payers money, on this sort of nonsense. 15 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Raphael54 Posted March 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 17, 2022 By the way, very often, when I browse the CNN website, with a Thai internet address, I get advertisements of Chang Beer on my screen. To me that seems a very clear violation of the law. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By law in Thailand you can not show your product in advertisements, only the company logo. That includes showing cases of product too. She was holding a bottle. The question is if this was done outside of Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Bangkok Barry Posted March 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 17, 2022 Very clever by the company, who no doubt knew exactly what they were doing and that it would generate masses of free publicity. The government jumped right in, as the company knew it would, with the 'free press' lawful requirement to blur the product fooling no-one. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
