I’ve been, for the last few days, overwhelmed with things. Among the checking out activities that I do is listening to a lot of music on YouTube. I was playing this iconic literal Thai farang fixture last night.
I knew that most of the people in the video were obviously not Thai, but I asked my husband Ka to weigh in on this. “Who is Kuhn Thai?” I asked him.
He thinks the people with the hats are Vietnamese sure. Actually the only people in the video that he thought were actually Thai were the Muai Thai boxers, who looked a bit too white for me.
What do you think?
I agree with Ka. Although I would say the Muay Thai guy on the left is probably a Luk Krueng.
It's funny that you should post this as I was just thinking this week that I would like to pick up chess again.
Very entertaining expensively produced music video and a very catchy song capitalizing on 'orientalism' clichés.
