Nagasaki is becoming a popular destination for Thai tourists thanks to music videos filmed there by the Thai pop trio La-Ong-Fong. Bass player Pongchuk Pissathanporn visited Nagasaki this March as reporter for an online travel show and thought the laid back atmosphere would be perfect for a music video. He came back to Nagasaki in May with his bandmates and filmed two videos, one for a new song (whose English title is “Miss”) and one for the Japanese version of their hit single “Ima Sugu Aitai”, which features children from a local nursery school. Surprised by this sudden upswing in popularity, Nagasaki City has dubbed the three band members tourism ambassadors. Source: Nishinippon Shimbun 7/30
