Social media floods with ‘Lisa’ Red Lotus Sea memes; Thai govt says image is real, not AI


BANGKOK (The Nation Thailand/ANN): Thailand’s Tourism Authority (TAT) said it has no issue with social media users creating memes from the image of global star Lalisa “Lisa” Manoban at the Red Lotus Sea in Udon Thani, and confirmed that the image currently circulating was produced from an actual shoot and was not created using AI.

On 22 January 2026, after TAT announced that Lisa had been appointed Amazing Thailand Ambassador to promote Thai tourism, the agency released still images under its “Feel All the Feelings” campaign. The second image shows Lisa sitting on a wooden boat amid the Red Lotus Sea, a well-known attraction in Udon Thani.
