The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is so hard working, they even steal photos on the weekend!

Today, Saturday the 9th of July 2011, the Tourism Authority of Thailand stole a photo of the floating market.

Another stolen photo by the Tourism Authority of Thailand.  Amazing that the Tourism Authority of Thailand doesn’t have their own photo of the Floating Market.  They have to go online and steal one.

A quick Google Image Search shows that the photo was stolen by about 8 or 10 people/entities and now TAT:

So, the Tourism Authority of Thailand shows their diligence by working on a Saturday showing that thieves work 7 days per week.

One would think that after being a Thai Government Agency for many, many years, that the Tourism Authority of Thailand would have a collection of millions of photos – legal ones – but apparently not, since they continue to steal on almost a daily basis.

No respect for Thai Intellectual Property or Copyright law.  As a Thai Government Agency, they should be the ones setting the example, not breaking the law.

I do hope that the Tourism Authority of Thailand get a new Minister working at the higher headquarters – the Ministry of Tourism and Sports – and that he cracks down on TAT and their thieving ways.
