A billboard promoting a dating app, recently erected in Muang district of Nakhon Ratchasima, known locally as Korat, has drawn mixed reactions from Thai netizens.

The three-line message on the billboard reads, “Delicious dishes of Korat; Fried Korat noodle, Korat Ladies”. The name “Tinder”, one of the world’s most popular online dating apps with 55 billion matches to date, was written at the end of the message.

The presence of the billboard came to light after Korat Daily Facebook posted its photo. It is reported that some people who saw the billboard are not happy, claiming that the advertisement looks down on Korat women.

Nonetheless, many of those who comment on the Korat Daily Facebook page expressed their interest in trying the dating app to find love. In responding to negative comments, some wrote advising people to “please relax and enjoy your life; it is an ad from Tinder, which is a dating app.”

Some persons suggested that the billboard should be taken down, asking which authorities granted permission for its erection.
