NongKhaiKid Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 (edited) No way, I refuse to believe this as things like that would never happen here. This major issue deserves, and will probably get, the full attention of the PM as nothing can be more important than defending the national honour in the face of more ridiculous nonsense from foreigners who just don't understand Thainess.

ezzra Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 These are not fake fans, these are Rent a mob or Rent a crowd, and it's legitimate occupation around the world as can be seen in movies making and taped TV programs..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluespunk Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 "A year ago a pre-season tour ended in scandal when three players were videod taking part in a “racist orgy” with Thai girls. The aces were fired later." Aces? Don't think so, they were fringe players who did not feature much, if at all, in Leicesters season last year.

thai3 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 (edited) No proof then, where is the evidence of the social media ad? if they were paying king power employees surely they would have needed no ad, just give them the time off and pay them extra. There were not 'thousands' there anyway. This is the Sun, well known for it's lies about football stories, many will still not touch the rag if they are from Liverpool.

tx22cb Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 If true (for employees/volunteers), 10 quid = 500 Baht is for daily allowance for expenses such as travel and food/bev to this important company-sponsored event. I've worked for multi-nationals, and this is normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlQaholic Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Well a good combination, a fake football team (nobody really thinks that any of the players come from Leicester) and a fake rent a mob posing as fans, now we need to get the fake PM to welcome them to Bangkok and everything is perfect!

brewsterbudgen Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 It's not really surprising that a team like Leicester City doesn't have many genuine Thai fans. As this was a marketing exercise, paying people to make up the crowd was a sensible idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
