Officials have unveiled a new mascot to help promote tourism in Prachuap Khiri Khan.

 

Nong Kang Waen is a dusky langur monkey and was inspired by ‘Kumamon’ a black bear with red cheeks, which is the tourism mascot from the Japanese city of Kumamoto.

Announcing Nong Kang Waen, Sathien Charoenyaen, Governor of Prachuap Khiri Khan, said that the income from tourism in the province had dropped considerably during the last two years.

Nothing about the beaches or National parks...No a <deleted> cartoon monkey....????????

Clean the beaches and stop the Thais from dropping rubbish on them , provide some bins and empty them ,that would be a start , 

When I go there I see the same 2 farangs ,one with a kid picking up the rubbish but when there’s a photo opportunity the Thai trash hero’s come out the woodwork to get photographed 

Looks like surfing tar baby.

 

Maybe a redesign might be in order.

Why bother?

 

1 Garbage from Thai fishing boats is absolutely never ending.

 

2 Thais don't bother.

 

3 Local municipalities don't clean beaches

I thought Golliwogs were a no no.

I do hope the PC brigade have thoroughly investigated this promotion. It could completely trash any chance of anyone ever visiting anywhere in Thailand ever again.

 

At least from the woke brigade.

 

But that might be no bad thing.

 

????

It's absolutely beautiful. 

Is there a lot surfing in PKK?
