First post on a Monday morning for the Tourism Authority of Thailand Amazing Thailand Facebook page is the following – “Good morning Monday ! Are you ready for this week? Boost up your energy with this cup of coffee from Sukjai ^^”.

And, the Tourism Authority of Thailand Amazing Thailand Facebook page accompanied that brilliant remark with a stolen photo of a cup of coffee.

Now one would think that any of the staff members at the Tourism Authority of Thailand could easily provide a photo of a cup of coffee.  You know, with your cell phone.

Oh wait.  That would require that the Tourism Authority of Thailand staff member actually know how to operate the camera on their cell phone, and if it is a smart phone, upload it to Facebook.  Too hard.

If it is not a smart phone, then it would require the Tourism Authority of Thailand staffer to transfer the photo from the cell phone to their computer and then upload it to Facebook.  Way too much work.

Much easier to do a google search and steal the photo.

Yep, much easier for the Tourism Authority of Thailand to go to Google, do a quick search, find an image, and pick from the 1,590 copies of it.  This one has been stolen many, many times.

Practically impossible for the Tourism Authority of Thailand to determine who the actual owner and copyright holder is since it has been stolen so many times.  I guess that the Tourism Authority of Thailand figures it is OK to steal the image since so many before them have also stolen it.

Another day, another stupid post that will most certainly NOT attract any tourists, and another stolen photo by the Tourism Authority of Thailand.

Edit.  Forgot to mention that while I was typing this post, the Tourism Authority of Thailand Pattaya Facebook Page accepted my second friend request after de-friending me a couple of days ago.  We shall see if they are giving me a second chance and most likely the Tourism Authority of Thailand Pattaya Office doesn’t know what they are doing.

Edit 2. Tourism Authority of Thailand Pattaya has seen the errors of their ways and has once again de-friended me.
