Nok Air is unperturbed by criticism that it exploited women's bodies as a marketing tool in its 2013 calendar featuring bikini-clad Maxim models.

The budget airline is already promising that the 2014 calendar will be at least as daring.

"We will surprise many people again," said chief executive Patee Sarasin, who is known for his unorthodox marketing tactics.

MOC comment should be more appropriately directed to the Godfather or should I said Ownfather. Haha, I don't think he is qualified to teach people what's good or bad about social or moral responsibility. Like father like son! Bigger than life sized Sexy lady photos are all over the places publicly display in front of those so-called "Entertainment Complex" or some local Karaoke Bars. I believe Nok Air Calender girls is just a child play as compared to those displaying at the Fword Shops/Bars. Perhaps becoz VIP car don't have chance to go slow enough to drive pass those shops to see?

Heaven forbid Thailand develops a reputation for exploiting the beauty of its young women.

Isn't the Minister of Culture the brother of the Mayor of Pattaya and the son of a convicted godfather criminal?
I suggest that he resign (unless there is too much money in it) or not complain when stones are turned over.
The more he complains the more free publicity Nok Air gets. Good for them.

I suggest to relocate the Ministry of Culture to Pattaya, in order to give them all, particularily the minister of culture a sense of reality!

I always thought the Ministry of Culture is responsible and overlooks the soaps being broadcasted on channel 7, 3, and 5, the only channels carrying culturally important messages in Thailand.

May be the Ministry of Culture should have a look at these glossy magazines at news stands everywhere, before they comment on Nok's calendar.

Sometimes I cannot understand Thai politics, may be, after 10 years in Thailand, I am still too much of a farang.
