Thai Airways International has missed a chance to promote the Thai identity in the new safety instruction video showed on its aircraft, an academic said on Monday. The video displays safety measures for passengers presented by a Thai crew member in an animated tropical forest. As examples, Mr Rungsit cited bird of paradise flowers, American flamingoes, hummingbirds and Morhop butterflies. Many commentators agreed with Mr Rungsit's post, saying flora and fauna indigenous to Thailand should be given greater prominence in the safety video. As a comparison, one commentator embedded a safety instruction video by THAI's rival, Singapore Airlines, promoting the landmarks, attractions and culture of the island state.
