From Nok Air's 2013 calendar

Nok Air, which is based in Thailand, announced on its Facebook page that people who participated in its online campaign would receive the airline's 2013 calendar.

    Maybe the Culture Dept needs to go see "Jandara" in the Cinema. That should rock their world.

    This is too sexy for me, and degrade the Thai woman. They should include the pretty univeristy student in uniform in the calander to promote the hard work and education of the Thai society, not the bikini people. It make me sad.

    The culture minister needs to look the so called bribe in the Taylor premises.Now that is not at all good news for Thai reputation, is it not a bit of fun like this calendar.Those living in glass houses should not throw stones.

    The advert agency has accomplished their goal to their client....get some cheap publicity in the local press and get us to comment on it....mission accomplished. It is my view that the politico-industrial establishment likes things just as they are when it comes to the worldwide image of Thai....I mean....how many tourists are flocking to Sweden for a proverbial "good time"? I rest my case.

    Sexy Thai women tarnishing the image of Thailand. I think not. Government Officals that have murdering families that are protected and never persecuted or jail for their crimes. Now that will tarnish an image.

    Any one remember the Parelli calender it was an icon again shows how some are fixed into the 19 th century and yes the violence on TV in my opinion dose far more harm to the Thai image than this bit of fun.

    Thailand is full of whores. Starting at the top of the political pile and descending from there throughout the country. Nothing in this country has changed in the past 30 years and it will not change in the next 30 years. Forget your precious 'Face' as it is only you Thai's who care about it. The civilized world sees Thailand for what it is not what it wants us to perceive.

    The Culture Minister should start by cleaning out his own back yard! PT stands for Pitiful Thailand.

    @Asterix..this wouldn't improve the image abroad. It just would send send some (many?) tourists to the Philippines or so. And it's all about money here, isn't it.
