Bangkok’s most vibrant melting pot rocked to the beat of Phad Thai vendors’ frying pans and high-kicking dancers as Khao San Road was the scene of a very Thai-flavoured flash mob last week.
Throngs of tourists and locals alike on Bangkok’s celebrated street were spellbound as what began with a single Phad Thai seller banging out a beat on his frying pan ended with the entire strip rocking to a Phad Thai percussion orchestra as a growing throng of dancers busted moves, Thai boxers shadow boxed and cheerleaders were tossed into the sky.
The flash mob event was such fun and the video is a must-watch,” said Tune Hotels Country Head, Thailand Aticha Pasaprates. “It really captured the spirit of what defines Thailand in so many ways and what draws travellers here time and time again – and that’s the sense of fun or what we call sanuk.
“Sanuk is a concept we value at Tune Hotels Thailand too. We take pride in offering our guests a great night’s sleep in a custom-made bed, a power shower, a great location in the heart of the action and unrivalled value.
“With the money guests save by choosing Tune, they can embrace the sanuk of their chosen city more than ever.”
Owned and operated by Red Planet Hotels, Tune Hotels has four properties in Thailand, each located in the heart of their respective city’s downtown districts: Tune Hotel Asoke in Bangkok, Tune Hotel Pattaya, Tune Hotel Patong in Phuket and Tune Hotel Hat Yai. A fifth Bangkok property, Tune Hotel Silom is in the pipeline for 2015.
