55Jay Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 (edited) I've seen other forces do these music video/dancing bits. This one strikes a nice balance between a communist talent show with unsmiling performers, and an uncomfortably bad lady boy stage show. If they have this much time on their hands, they ought to raise the bar. Edited July 23, 2015 by 55Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few of them had some nice moves. And as for the army guys.. No that doesn't work or do,it for me. I could just see the UK Royal Marines or Parachute Regiment doing that! not ! What do you reckon. What's the chances or which would you want on your side. 40 Royal Marine Commando. You can ask them to dance if you like!!

Uhm, you do realize that Field Marshall Prayut wrote this song? But agree that it's not the first song I'd pick for a group dance music video?

timmyp Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Can someone tell me the name of first song? The name of the song is "Khʉʉn khwaam sùk hây prathêet thai" i.e., returning peace to the Thai people. It says, "Just wait a little longer, I will do what I promised," etc. It actually starts here at the chorus instead of the first verse, obviously because it's such an intense dance number that they just wanted to skip to the fast-paced chorus and let those dancers bust out with their mind-blowing moves. Here's a full version so you can listen to it over and over again. It's played quite a bit around town and on the radio. I have heard people singing it sarcastically as well.
