bigbamboo Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 What a god awful motto. Which committee came up with it? And why do they call Bangkok the City of Angels anyway? Or should it be angles.... as most people there seem to have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aguy30 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 "Bangkok, glorious as if created by angels, the administration centre, beautiful temples, glittering palaces, the capital of Thailand" This new motto selection should prove that there aren't any clueless idiots in Bangkok's governement.

David006 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 The best tourism market slogan I ever saw was that from the Australian Northern Territory: "You'll Never Never Know If You Never Never Go" As a tourist marketing tool the BKK motto? should maybe be in a form that translates to the target markets? On par with some Thai language tourist information ? Wonder why these are in English?:...lol http://businesstips.ph/list-of-tourism-slogans-of-countries-around-the-world/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screws Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 - In a few minutes I garnered the following. I concluded that we need a new definition. Motto: Short phrase that usually expresses a moral aim Short sentence or phrase that expresses a rule for sensible behaviour Brief statement used to express a principle, goal, or ideal. Usually pithy and familiar statement expressing an observation or principle generally accepted as wise or true Word or phrase used regularly to characterize something or some group Phrase meant to formally summarize the general motivation or intention of a social group or organization. Sentence, phrase, poem, or word prefixed to an essay, chapter, and novel Short, suggestive expression Slogan, catchword, shibboleth (noun) Favourite saying of a sect or political group Brief statement of cherished truth - Do you mean "Short phrase that usually expresses a moral aim Short sentence or phrase that expresses a rule for sensible behaviour Brief statement used to express a principle, goal, or ideal.

Screws Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 "The Thai slogan - no official English translation was made available." "The Motto will be used to promote tourism." So I guess it will not be used to promote tourism amongst the english speaking populous of the world....... Wonder how it reads in Russian?
