Tourism Authority of Thailand Breaks the Rules Again

Once again, the Tourism Authority of Thailand thinks it is above the law and doesn’t have to follow the rules and guidelines of Social Media Giant Facebook.

Blatant disregard of Facebook’s Promotions Guidelines that state that winners cannot be announced on Facebook.  Here is a graphic listing the names of the winners of the Songkran (Thai New Year) Champion contest put out by Amazing Thailand – the Facebook page of Tourism Authority of Thailand.

And, here is what the Tourism Authority of Thailand posted along with the graphic image:

Amazing Thailand
Thank you everyone for playing Songkran Champion with Sukjai. Now Sukjai has got the winners who will be given the prizes from LG Life’s Good ! Check out the list if there is your name on it. For those whose names are listed please wait for Sukjai’s contact within this week in your facebook message box. ^________________^

And, once again, the Tourism Authority of Thailand did not post any disclaimer stating that Facebook is not connected to the contest.

One of these days, the Tourism Authority of Thailand will get caught and hopefully their Facebook page taken down.
