Social media wades into Khon video controversy

The Culture Ministry’s decision to red-flag a music video “Tiew Thai Me Hey” that promotes Thai tourism via Khon characters has drawn even more attention to the controversy.

 

The ministry said scenes showing the Ramakien epic character Thotsakan (Ravana) on horseback, a jet ski, a go-kart, and a tuk-tuk as well as the scenes showing the imaginary king of giants cooking Thai sweetmeat were inappropriate. 

 

Tachaya Pathumwan, one of the singers who sang the song, posted a picture of his mirror reflection with a tape over his mouth and a caption that read, "Saliva and sweat are both liquid, but they are released through different processes."

 

In just a few days, the petition at Change.org against the complaint gained over 64,000 names in support.

The irony here is that the military that overthrew 800 years of Thai  culture and tradition of the Empire of Thailand in 1932 now seeks to preserve that same culture and tradition, but with itself now holding the office of governance.

It's called "Absolute Oligarchy".

The Fun Police are out in numbers these days to ensure people don't enjoy themselves. Does the military have nothing better to do?
