BKK Walking Billboard
 
On our last trip to BKK in January I bought 6 of those very colorfull BKK tee shirts at MBK. They have the Grand Palace, Thai Dancers, Elephants etc on them. I have been wearing them out on Saturdays and have been stopped by so many people complimenting me and asking about BKK. One guy chased me down and did a Sawadee on me! Here in Houston!
Now I need the website of the BKK Tourism Office as I feel I should charge them for all the free advertising I'm giving them on my chest each week.
What do you think?

Bill, we love those shirts to!

Our son wears the thai boxing one to school all the time and the other kids love it!

I want to buy some more online, but can't find em yet!

Jeffrey, why buy on line? Might as well wait till you go back to BKK. Definitely cheaper there.

LOL, Bill, I wear my Jim Thompson t-shirts here in Seattle and get lots of questions and comments. And given what we all have to say about Bangkok, I agree we should be on the payroll.

Bill, you are right!!!!! We will be back in BKK this next year and will stock up again! This time we will be taking our son, he will be 9 at the time,so we can let him pick out his own shirts!!!!!

My best friends family is all from Thailand and we wear the shirts over to their house, they just kind of do that little Thai laugh and tell us how happy they are that we love it so much!

isn't it bad enough that you texas rich oil people are squeezing us for every penny, now you want us to pay for you to wear a T shirt to Enron every day

Nice room!

There are very few T-shirts in Thailand that fit Giant Pandas.

There are very few T-shirts on this planet that fit rizzuti.

rhkkmk Jul 19th, 2008 08:48 AM

maybe you could shrink them to fit you?

Gpanda Jul 19th, 2008 11:15 AM

It may very well be the case that the last three posters are not world experts on T-shirts. But back to the OP, we are missing a wonderful opportunity for a great deal of advertising space.

I wore my "Tour with Tong" shirt the other day. I got asked about it. Does that count? Should I ask her for money when I see her next month?? Or how about a free day of touring with Tong. Or at least a cuppa coffee... lol

BillT Jul 19th, 2008 01:21 PM

Yes for Bob and GPanda they should get double the advertising rate!
