BANGKOK: -- It seems like Thai culture is on everyone’s mind these days after the Tiew Thai Me Hey MV fiasco. Now, it seems like another has just arisen.

 

It’s Miss Intercontinental beauty pageant season, and Thailand is competing. However, some netizens aren’t all impressed with what Miss Intercontinental Thailand 2016, Atitaya Kunnalaphat, will be wearing to compete.

 

They have decided to dress her up as Thotsakan, the same mighty King of Demons and Giants who got so much flack for making Thai pastries in the tourism MV last month.

This melodramatics from ladyboy hub of Asia? Seriously?

[Somtamnication]

Just go naked and bypass the Thai cultural hypocrisy phenom. 

[Thechook]

But it is ok for Thai men to dress in women's clothing

[NongKhaiKid]

They don't half get themselves worked up over some things don't they yet issues that might be seen as really important, serious are ignored.

[rkidlad]

Why do we never read stories like 'Prawit's 21 million baht trip to Hawaii enrages nitizens'

 

Instead, people get enraged with cake-eating monks, monks who have girlfriends or naked Chinese bungee jumpers. 

 

Perspective, people.

it is not their literary classic

[seahorse]

It's sacrilege. How dare she dress up as Tossakan? Is nothing sacred these days? I demand that she disrobe immediately and I want to see photographic evidence that this has been done. I am available for a personal inspection.

 

At least she wasn't wearing dark glasses or wearing shoes while walking on the beach while she was dressed as Tossakan. Was she? I hope not. I think some people might go into meltdown.

 

**** Spelling pedantry alert****

It wasn't actually Tossakan who got the FLAK. It was the producers of Tiew Thai Me Hey who got the FLAK. And now Khun Atithaya is getting FLAK.

**** Small peeve rant over. ****

Quote

After all, when Miss Universe Thailand wore a tuk-tuk costume last year, no one complained that she wasn’t actually a motor vehicle.

 

That was easy because Somchai wasn't sitting on her back offering sek-cho or massage brochures to every passer-by.

Correct, just another Thai "knock-off" but then this is the hub of fake.

[DM07]

Netizens need to get a fri#@@% life!

[Bluespunk]

Netizens, the 21st century equivalent of outraged vicar of lower dumbassling, surrey writing to the local paper.

 

Get out into the real world you sad sacks.

[SOTIRIOS]

....will do anything to get attention.....and will succeed...

[CantSpell]

I might just post a few pictures of my morning toasts with a layer of peanut butter, a layer of marmalade and a layer of strawberry jam....

 

Should keep the netizens busy for a least 2 weeks since they enrage over such important topics
