Jingthing Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I think it is great! However if she ever decides to go into politics someone would use that against her. Good point. Don't show it to Fox News. They might do an expose on the Thai embassy wasting taxpayer money on depraved water orgies ... and name the scandal Bangkokzi.

Jingthing Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Frankly, I have no opinion or much knowledge either way on her performance other than the various goofy PR videos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrTuner Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 That video is proof as to why alcohol consumption during Songkran is a good idea. Painful to watch while sober. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjaidee Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Perhaps the UK-embassy might record another version, with all the men wearing pinstripe-suits & bowler-hats, defending themselves from the water-throwers with their umbrellas ? To the tune of 'Rule Britannia' ? Where's John Steed when you need him or would Archie Leach be better suited for the job? Alf Garnett is my choice.

carib102 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 30,000 views in a day is hardly viral and I can see why. Let us know when there's a Songkran video that sees 3,000,000 views...THAT is viral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rametindallas Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 180 years relations between Thailand and the US??? Are they on drugs or am I missing something here? Bilateral relations between the Kingdom of Thailand and the United States of America date to 1818. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thailand–United_States_relations Press Releases : 500 years of Diplomatic Relations between Thailand and Portugal http://www.mfa.go.th/main/en/media-center/14/8094-500-years-of-Diplomatic-Relations-between-Thailand.html Thailand is a very old country. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bendejo Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I also believe, that the US was just a few loosely knit states, back then not the singular version of it, it is today. Did they actually have diplomats in Siam/Thailand since then? That would really surprise me. (not saying they didn't.. Just asking ;-) ) I think the US gov't didn't know where Asia was until the late 1800s, when they suddenly inherited Philippines from the Spanish, and got involved in the Boxer Rebellion (was that a trade war to force the Chinese to buy US underpants? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bendejo Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 (edited) US tax payer funded video - It's a shame. Wait until Fox News picks up on this, boy will they be outraged! Kerry and Obama must be held personally accountable for the cost of production (estimated to be over $1 million) and a waste of thousands of hours of staff time, a special prosecutor needs to look into this scandal, etc. On the other hand, if it was in a GOP administration the all the blondies would be cooing "aw, isn't that just adorable!"

fullcave Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 There will be a few cringing when they see that. Can't wait to see the Thai follow-up on the 4th of July. Songkran is the traditional New Year, it’s not their independence day.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rametindallas Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Three of my Thai friends have sent this video to me. They all like it and they all like Ms. Kinney. I asked them why and one says, "Most of Thai people like the US Ambassador because she understands Thai Traditions real well". and another writes, " She said she was born at the wrong place, she wants to be Thai", and the other wrote, " She tries to fit in". BTW, all three are Thaksin supporters. Non of my Royalist friends sent the video to me. I don't know what to make of that but thought it was interesting. Thai people and I don't generally share the same tastes in entertainment. :-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
