The Isan Project launches the ‘Flowers of Thailand’ video, encouraging tourists to discover Thailand’s hidden gems.
Flowers of Thailand,” the new music video from “The Isan Project”, was launched on Thursday (Mar 28) by the former Minister of Tourism and Sports, Senator Weerasak Kowsurat, at a private luncheon in Spectrum Lounge, Hyatt Regency Sukhumvit, Bangkok.
The latest creation by The Isan Project is expected to encourage tourists to visit some of the most beautiful parts of Thailand, some of which have been Thailand’s secret gems for years. Stunning scenery, unique, vibrant flower fields, a red lotus sea, a lotus temple, and a yellow mountain are just some of the locations filmed by British Director and Music Producer “Will Robinson” in this three-and-a-half-minute masterpiece around Isan and The North of Thailand.
The lead is played by actress Monly Jasmin, one of Chiang Mai’s emerging young talents. The video starts with Monly on a horse-drawn carriage in Lampang, where the eighteen-year-old jumps on a train ride across Thailand’s North and North East scenic railways to reach the flower fields. The Isan Project also visited Mae Hong Son, Phu Lom Lo in Loei, Chiang Rai, Mae Mon, and Mae Sai to piece together this unique tourism idea.
The song driving these beautiful scenes is performed by Sonna Rele, the voice of the Disney soundtrack “Strong” from Cinderella, and written by Will and his writing partner Daniel Ryan. Drummer Erik Hargrove from The James Brown Band and studio Saxophonist Andy Ross from Incognito joined the project’s all-star band lineup on the tune.
Senator Weerasak says, “Thailand is expanding a lot of train tracks throughout every direction, making it easier for the country to visit and commute from one town station to another. This connectivity includes electric trains that cut through every major part of Greater Bangkok. These high-speed trains connect Chiang Mai to the North, and Hua Hin to the South and connect the Thai railroad systems to the China-Laos international rail link which is a new fascinating way to travel in this part of Asia through the North Eastern region of Thailand. Flowers of Thailand reflects the value of these smaller town attractions and the dreams of train tourism that will continue to grow in our beloved country.”
Will Robinson adds, “Thailand gets better and better. This was another lifetime experience putting this film together in this great country. Daniel and I had written this little ditty a while ago, but I had to wait for each field to blossom to complete this mission. I love these long trips; there’s so much to see and enjoy.”
The Isan Project reports that Hua Hin Today is in its tenth year and also penned the popular tourist songs “Thailand, Amazing Thailand,” “This is the Moment,” and “Amazing Thailand Dance with Me.”
Flowers of Thailand is available from all digital music stores and can be seen on the Isan Project’s YouTube channel.
