TAT launches new promotional Amazing Thailand bag featuring Siamese cat - Pattaya Mail - Pattaya News, Communities, Opinions and much more...

Bangkok – August 6, 2013: The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is launching a new line of promotional Amazing Thailand paper bags to promote its “Thainess” concept by featuring the traditional Siamese cat on both sides. The cat is of the Wichian Mat breed and will be on both large and small bags to be distributed to various government offices and companies wanting to use the bags for promotional purposes.

The Wichian Mat breed has brown fur with black and white tints and blue eyes. This sought-after Siamese cat has 9 distinguishing marks, which makes it unique among Siamese cats. It is a breed that was known by many foreigners even before Siam became Thailand. In the reign of King Rama V, His Majesty presented a Wichian Mat cat to the British Consul-General before he departed Thailand. The breed also won a cat contest in London, which led to the founding of a Siamese Cat Lovers Club overseas.



The Siamese cat Amazing Thailand bags will be given out at travel shows and tourism road shows that TAT will attend starting from August 2013.

i think i prefer a bag with a standard Thai pussy on it

oh bags.. so you will see this fucking stupid cat splattered all over the beaches soon...

is this a male cat ?

They could have at least used a two headed siamese cat to make it "Amazing"

ha ha ha TAT.

"We no have free bag left, only have bag cost one million baht"

Crooks and con artists.

How about real Thai cats on the bags? The ones with drooping nipples hanging down and six kittens following them into a pile of garbage

Now that is funny... although just having a pussy represent Thailand is amazing.. errr... not.

Paper bags to vomit into presumably?

what else should they have printed on the bag, karl ?

10 kg. Cat litter.

Use:
1. Spread evenly.
2. Let it soak up the oil from your favorite Thai beach spot.
3. Place beach towel on top.
4. Enjoy your holiday.

Yes, picture of a moggy on a paper bag will have people flocking to Thailand just to get one.

It never ceases to amuse and bewilder me how much anger and hostility people have for such unimportant and insignificant agencies such as the TAT.

Did you all go to Thailand and have such rubbish holidays that you've been scarred for life?

That IS a standard Thai pussy....

The cats with different colour eyes are the best !

A photo made available on 14 June 2013 shows a Diamond Eye ‘Khao Manee’ cat looking on at the Siamese Cat House in Amphawa district of Samut Songkram province, Thailand, 10 June 2013.
The Khao Manee (White Jewel) is a cat with a white body often having different color eyes with one yellow and one blue eye. The Khao Manee was the favorite cat of Siamese royalty under Thai King Rama V who ruled from 1868 to 1910.
Nowadays, Thais believe the cat will bring good luck and longevity to its owners.
The Siamese Cat House was set up to conserve the five surviving native breeds of cats that originated in Thailand which was formerly known as Siam. RUNGROJ YONGRIT/EPA/Newscom.

It is certain that cat is deaf though, multi-colored eyes especially on white cats are genetically deaf in all cases..

No, we just think the TAT are a bunch of wackos with bizarre/stupid ideas, like thinking that Indian tourists will actually spend money on holiday in Thailand or thinking that Pattaya is now a family holiday resort

Nothing about being ''scarred for life'' unless that cat gives you a nasty nip
