The shirt says “Thailand” but I’m really not sure what the
mask is supposed to be saying. As a frontispiece for a shop this has me
confused; why combine a patriotic shirt with a poorly made and very unattractive
rubber mask? Is it a caricature of how many foreigners see the country or a
piece of local culture I’m not aware of or just bad taste?
On the other hand, judging by the number of people going inside the
shop perhaps it’s just there to grab attention and is actually doing its job
very well.
