Spice Added To Bangkok Governor Poll: Fake Celebrity Photos Used To Boost Profiles

[OzMick]

Another of these doctored photos features muay thai champion fighter Buakaw Por Pramuk.

A photo of him has been altered to show him wearing a T-shirt that reflects him supposedly supporting Pheu Thai Party candidate Police General Dr. Pongsapat.

In reality, in the un-doctored photo, it shows Buakaw wearing a T-shirt with singer Pongsit Khamphee on it.

(clearer photo of the one depicted in the OP photo)

The doctored photo was published on a "Red Club" Facebook page that bore the UDD logo.

.

It would be even more convincing if the second photo held up as the doctored photo (which it is) was the same as the original photo on the left. If you'd taken a closer look buchholz you might have noticed the 2nd photo was taken from a completely different angle - do you see any fisherman behind his left arm in the first photo.

Schoolboy stuff, hardly professional - oh the facebook had a UDD logo - must be Official then

So you think the photos were taken at different times/places and he has changed his shirt? Or would you agree that it is a doctored version of one of several taken at that time and place, and then used as red propaganda?

I'll address this to you, rubl and bucholz. If you read my post properly instead of champing at the bit before posing defamotory posts, you will have noticed that I pointed out how schoolboyish the fake was but you lot, as blind as only you lot can be, see that as a defence of it.

It's that bad a fake, no self respecting party would have sanctioned it, not even the dems (their forte is normally through the courts anyway, they don't seem to be interested in voters anyway). But of course it's sanctioned by the PTP cos it's got a UDD logo on the facebook page?

So I'm not squirming as per bucholz , I don't think like ozmick thinks I do, and rubl, well, he doesn't understand my logic - you cannot know how grateful that makes me feel!

It is a badly doctored photo and it is precisely the sort of bad doctoring that Jatuporn and the PTP sanctioned with the doctored audiotape.

Self-respect and PTP are diametrically opposed words.

Too kind, my dear dog.

Obviously I had forgotten that in Thai model photoshoots the subject of the photoshoot changes attire at least every few minutes. Clearly you pointing out that one photo is different from the other is masterly deduction worthy of a Sherlock Holmes.

The schoolboy stuff came afterwards, just like the barely veiled insinuation that Dems going through court may suggest some irregularities followed by not interested in votes. The last probably, at least not votes recieved under false flag.

These fakes may not be sanctioned by PTP or Dems, but their supporters seem active. Probably my imagination that red-shirt supporters are more active in promoting 'their' candidate for Bangkok governor. Most likely because they need this highspeed train to commute more easily

Can't someone just pick up a phone and ask the guy in the picture what exactly happened? Since he isn't in jail, a politician, or dead maybe this particular mystery can be solved quite easily.

Could be embarrasing. Imagine the kickboxer saying something like "Pol. General Ponsapat? Police? They always gave me a problem when boxing in Lumpini Stadium. Why would I "like" one now?"

So back to my post 26, despite bucholzs claim no link to PTP, UDD or Shinawatra/s.

Next.

Of course not, every one knows that red-shirt supporters are bound to be involved in this type of prank. Nothing to do with the UDD, the Pheu Thai party who fielded the candidate, not even our real PM is involved. I can almost hear her reply to the question: "no one told me".

Let's go back safely to the topic of 'some allegedly may be using possibly fake / doctored photo's of rumoured to be celebrity persons in order to possibly influence possible voters'

Haven given this proposal some more thoughts, it seems a bit hilareous. I mean if the chap was supporting Pol. General Pongsapat in his candidacy for Bangkok governor one would have assumed NEW photo's could have been made rather than depend on doctoring existing ones. Unless Pol. General Pongsapat has only a limited budget and minimal support from the party who fielded him of course. Then quickly faking things makes sense

[Morakot]

Didn't know there are fake celebrities.

Most of them are not really celebrated, though they might believe otherwise themselves.

Celebrity status in Thailand doesn't come much bigger than "Bird" (one of those celebrities that was faked)

Who, specifically has said the above photo was doctored and that he specifically did not endorse Pheu Thai Party candidate Police General Dr. Pongsapat, and has voiced that he was specifically bothered by the deception involved with using a doctored photo of himself.
