US Embassy in Bangkok sends best wishes to Thais for Songkran

BANGKOK, April 10 (TNA) - The US Embassy in Bangkok is sending best wishes to all Thais for the upcoming Songkran or the traditional Thai New Year festival through a video clip entitled "Counting Down to Songkran with the U.S. Embassy Bangkok", shared on its facebook and YouTube. The video clip, released on Wednesday, features US Ambassador to Thailand Kristie Kenney and the embassy's staffs in floral-printed tops throwing water at each other, exactly like Thais celebrate the annual Songkran festival, with a well-known Thai song, Jab Mue Wai or holding each other hands in the background. The 1.37-minute video clip ends with a slide featuring the slogan “180 years, Two Nations, One Friendship”, referring to the 180th anniversary of Thai-US relations. The US Embassy in Bangkok has released many video clips for Thai people so far, reflecting long-standing goodwill and relations between the United States and Thailand, such as Happy New Year 2013 and its own “Harlem Shake” music video featuring embassy staffs on YouTube.
