Mr. Thawatchai Arunyik, the Governor of TAT said, \u201cThere\u2019s been much hype and speculation following the release of the \u2018I Hate Thailand\u2019 video, which has been produced based on a research that an \u2018unbranding\u2019 advertisement would tend to receive more interest than a conventional branding commercial. The intention of this video is solely to depict the renowned Thai hospitality, demonstrating that Thais are ready to be a good host and offer a helping hand to tourists who need help.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n

James later lost his bag along with his valuable belongings. Then the script saw James got rescued by a local girl and later recovered his processions through the help of other villagers. The film concluded with James saying that he was wrong when he said he hated Thailand when he did not know the country well enough. He ended up staying two years in Thailand.<\/span><\/div>\n
