Return to the Market - Imported Pop

Ok, so when I came to Thailand I thought it would be the Orient of my dreams. I assumed (as Abbe notes that always makes an Ass of U and Me) it would somehow be immune to the trends of Western pop culture. What did I find, MacDonalds, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Pizza Hut, Punks Not Dead and Syd Lives T-Shirts. Here are some examples from the market
