THE latest trend sparked by K-pop sensation Lalisa “Lisa” Manoban (pic) has not just brought Thai culture to the forefront but also won her a pat on the back from the prime minister.

“The premier (General Prayut Chan-o-cha) praised Lisa for her expression of love and pride in being Thai, as well as promoting the country,” government spokesman Anucha Buraphachaisri said.
