Phuket Monopoly is a trashy money spinner

They’ve launched a Phuket version of Monopoly. But it’s not quite the great international marketing opportunity of the Thai island’s unique and iconic attractions. Instead it’s actually a trashy money grab from the makers of the game, HasBro. We get it, but The Thaiger is a bit disappointed... we were sucked in. (Regarding masks, we made sure we were more than 2 metres from anyone whilst filming this segment)

Why isn't the Thaiger on the board LoL

[@foofighter303]

Didn’t you work for the Phuket News?

[@davidphilpott6968]

Thought CP would be involved with Monopoly?

[@iskandartaib]

Our University Press started selling a Monopoly set some time ago. Haven't actually had a look yet.. a mite too expensive to get on a whim. Interesting that they're using a symbol for Monopoly Money now. I wonder if the little pieces you move around the board have been localized, too - wonder what they'd be, if that's the case. Elephant pants? Siamese sun helmet?

Is the get out of jail card the usual 400 baht - no receipt?...

[@kmd5551]

[@lukerabin5079]

[@kenlizzio7096]

No “Test positive for Covid, go to hospital square” ? 555

Tim: How can you not start at Go!? Monopoly has a progression of land value.. ignorant not to begin explanation of the Board without beginning at start.

Snakes and Ladders would be better. Scammed for a Jetski, go back to start. Opps wrong Tuk Tuk, go back ten spaces.

[@maxrockatansky1067]

If they really wanted Phuket institutions for the Monopoly board the Ferry tile should have been the Taxi Mafia. And no quarantine hotels???

[@goatseyelash]

Not as much of a money spinner as the covid scam

[@patrikwester7513]

Go straight to jail! U not wear mask in public space😁😁😁

[@AussieSlangkanga]

Can’t believe big Buddha didn’t end up on the board!!

[@tonyfrost9006]

I love that some people waked around the board rather than across it. Surprised you are not masked up like the locals.

[@theworldssexiestman]

In Monopoly, as in the real World, money talks.

[@thailandheron]

You sound peed off that The Thaiger wasn’t asked to advertise on there
