| Thanachart in Anchorage Dec 2013 |
A couple of weeks ago he sent me a link to a video he did to promote his book - related to the AIFF winning film. His book, New York 1st Time, is in Thai about his adventures in New York.
The video was a spoof of his book by talking to a farang (foreigner) about his first time in Bangkok. In this case it was his first time being cursed by a Thai. That doesn't happen often (a foreigner being cursed by a Thai) unless the foreigner really deserves it, as he did in this case.
Here's the viral video (it's in English and Thai):
I was going to wait to post about this until I got the book, but Benz sent me a follow up - the Bangkok post has written about this video. Here are a couple of excerpts:
A video clip of an American retired lecturer documenting his first experience of being sworn at in Thailand has attracted more than half a million views after one day after being uploaded to YouTube. . .
Thanachart Siripatrachai uploaded the video clip of 78-year-old Nelson Howe describing his first experience of being subjected to foul language after living in Bangkok for three years. . .
The video was made to promote a book written by Mr Thanachart about his 'first time' experience of visiting New York. Mr Thanachart, an assistant film director, said on his Facebook page that Mr Howe was a former university lecturer who he met accidentally in New York.
Mr Thanachart initially just wanted to promote his book using the clip describing Mr Howe's 'first time' experience in Thailand. But the film-maker now plans to make several more videos based on the academic's...By the way, as I write this, the video has 2.5 million hits.
Wow,that is so nice and interesting information.Thank you so much for provide us.This is so loving and amazing post.
