Koosdedooes Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 For once the ministry of culture has called it right, thats aweful, and childish and one supposes they trying to copy the "tuk tuk" one from last year ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorG Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 As a representative costume, maybe she could wear a "schoolgirl" outfit, popular amongst some go-go girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macksview Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 should just wear her university uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie61 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 (edited) I suggest a bullet proof vest, to reflect jealous love triangles, or an all round airbag to reflect Thailand's road safety record, or maybe a duck tape gag, to reflect freedom of expression. That would be more appropriate Edited May 20, 2016 by eddie61 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berybert Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 She looks absolutely ridiculous. Does the country no favours dressing like that. Get it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrTuner Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 (edited) Ministry of Culture= a bunch of backwards dinosaurs! They are the torchbearers of Sakdina, just doing their job. She sort of look phallic, perhaps they should send a ladyboy instead. Edited May 21, 2016 by DrTuner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrTuner Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Ah... now I get it. It's the Thai version of a straight jacket, to show the world the junta can get their ambassadors in line. If she gets frisky just pull the bell down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gene1960 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Thainess of that is the key and we farangs cannot understand and after all the instructions we still think that her costume was nice and beautiful. We are not Thai enough to love tuk-tuks. Lol Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nausea Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Very "Dada". You cultural ignoramuses obviously don't appreciate the fine subtleties of this avant-garde costume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
