healthcaretaker Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 After a film show, he walks into the hall for the Q&A session. Being the one seated right at the entrance, I try to snap a photo him. As soon as he see me with my camera, he "wai" directly at me. At that moment I have already clicked. Is his "wai" a gesture of greeting or a signal for me to stop ? Have I been rude to take his picture without prior permission ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwasaki Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Gesture of greeting to everybody maybe not just you. Aussie dad and him thinking you rude, nah doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flying Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Who the <deleted> is ananda everingham? He is the Thai Orlando Bloom Actually I have no idea but googled it & I guess he is a film star Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamBangkok Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 He could well be the Thai Orlando Bloom, as neither of them can act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geriatrickid Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I read the name as Amanada and became excited. Now that I have looked him/her up, I am disappointed. Not much going on with him/her and it is an insult to Orlando to consider him/her in the same league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamBangkok Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 In stark contrast to your closet full of oscars. So I need to have an Oscar to comment on an actor? In the same way that I'd need a Ballon D'Or to have an opinion on a footballer or a Michelin star to question the quality of food in a restaurant? I think that the Ananda / Orlando comparison is fair as they're both average actors at best who've got where they are largely because of their looks. I'm trying to think of a decent performace Orlando Bloom's given . . . . . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

healthcaretaker Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 Don't insult our Ananda by comparing him with who-is-this-Orlando. Is Orlando the no. 1 popular actor is his home country ? Ananda is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovelaos Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 <deleted> is going on here??? I've never quite understood why some folk are so obsessed with 'famous' people. Why take a picture of a person because he has appeared on a television? What do people do with these pictures? Did this 'famous' chap wai because he was greeting a mainly Thai audience by any chance? Whilst I'm having a rant about people photographing people/things. I was in a recently opened shopping mall on Sukhumvit 21 recently and witnessed hundreds of people (farang included) taking pictures of the shopping mall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
