Ever since I started watching Thai BL series, Thailand has always been the first country on my travel bucket list. I’ve always felt happy knowing that Thailand is our neighboring country, and I’ve dreamed of visiting the place that has brought me so much happiness through the people and stories I love.
Sometimes, I feel sad thinking that if my country weren’t going through such difficult political circumstances, maybe our favorite artists could come to Myanmar for fan meetings, and we could meet them right here in our own country. But instead of giving up on that dream, I’ve been working hard and doing my best to save money so that one day, I can travel to Thailand and meet the people I admire.
That’s why it hurts so much to see our cultural heritage being used as inspiration in a series while the calls for recognition and proper cultural credit seem to go unheard. As a Myanmar fan, this is not just about a series. It’s about our culture, our identity, our heritage, and the respect it deserves.
We are not asking for anything unreasonable. We simply want our cultural heritage to be acknowledged and given the recognition it deserves. Our culture is part of who we are, and seeing it represented on screen should be something we can feel proud of, not something that leaves us feeling unheard.
Cultural appreciation should always come with cultural recognition. Our heritage deserves respect, acknowledgment, and proper credit. 🇲🇲❤️

This Burmese person just slapped Thai nationalists in the face with accurate historical sources, exposing their attempts to pass off Burmese costumes as Lanna.
Some Thai nationalists use history as an excuse to rebrand Burmese costumes as Lanna. But people aren't stupid.
Trying to challenge our stance won't intimidate us. You talk about accepting consequences, but @GMMTV is the one running away from accountability. We will remain consistent in our boycott until total respect is given.
