awayego Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I almost misread the headline and automatically thought "World Muppet Carnival" - much more appropriate and Thailand would be clear favourites! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

razer Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Shouldn't criticise. Supporting the arts is a good thing to do although there is some irony regarding the past government. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

attento Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 In some countries, puppets are used as an expression of political frustration and disguised social comment. It will be interesting to see if this is permitted in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
