Thread: A regular guest at Sri Panwa is Dan Bilzerian. With over 32 million followers, Bilzerian is often called "the king of Instagram". He and his entourage have been invited guests of Wan Issara, probably getting everything for free in exchange for publicity on IG. #ศรีพันวา
Looking at the sheer delight on Wan's face in this photo, I think he also just loves hanging out with Bilzerian. He's literally pointing at his own face here, as if to say: look at me! I'm hanging out with a bunch of hot women and the king of Instagram! #ศรีพันวา #แบนศรีพันวา
Bilzarian is a controversial figure who constantly surrounds himself with half naked women. He has been sued for kicking a woman in the face during a bar fight and for throwing a naked porn star off a roof during a photoshoot. #ศรีพันวา #แบนศรีพันวา
His third love is Donald Trump, whom he endorsed for president. He said it was to protest against "pussies" and "political correctness". Bad taste in political leaders is something Bilzerian and Wan Issara share. Here's a selfie Wan took with Prayut. #ศรีพันวา #แบนศรีพันวา
Another thing they share is that neither man worked for their wealth. Wan was gifted a luxury resort to manage by his dad, and Bilzerian was the beneficiary of a large trust fund given to him by his father, Paul Bizerian. #ศรีพันวา #แบนศรีพันวา https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/article/the-truth-about-dan-bilzerian
Paul Bizerian was a businessman who specialised in hostile takeovers. In 1989, he was convicted of fraud, conspiracy and other financial crimes, and spent a year in prison. Since then, he's alleged to have evaded debts by hiding money offshore. #ศรีพันวา https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/8gk84v/did-instagram-bro-hero-dan-bilzerian-get-his-start-thanks-to-his-fathers-dirty-money-827
Here's the promotional video of Dan Bizerian's stay at Sri Panwa. It's called "a day in paradise", and portrays an exotic, soft porn version of Thailand that's all about sun, sea, sand and sex. Not to mention kickboxing, snakes and (endangered) tigers. Peak orientalism #ศรีพันวา
The video was uploaded to the Sri Panwa facebook page. It made me think of Wan's ultra conservative mother, Srivara Issara, who likes to talk about "good morals". I mean no disrespect when I say: I wonder what she thinks of videos like this #ศรีพันวา https://www.facebook.com/SripanwaPhuket/videos/2172536366294342/
Or of these racy photos from Bizerian's stay at Sri Panwa. I also wonder what Wan's hero, Prayut, would say. Remember, Prayut is the guy who said foreign tourists shouldn't wear bikinis in Thailand, otherwise they would likely get raped. #ศรีพันวา #แบนศรีพันวา
Famously, Prayut then added that "ugly women" were safe to wear bikinis, because nobody would want to rape them anyway. Bilzerian also likes to comment about "ugly girls", whom he says "hurt his eyes". #ศรีพันวา #แบนศรีพันวา
Since he started hanging out with Bizerian, Wan Issara has been copying his behaviour. Wan's own Instagram account is getting more and more like Bizerian's every day. #ศรีพันวา #แบนศรีพันวา
When Wan criticised the youth movement and Rung, he appointed himself as some kind of guardian of traditional Thai morals and culture, deciding by himself what is and what isn't appropriate and what is and what isn't "Thai". #ศรีพันวา #แบนศรีพันวา
I'm very liberal and not shocked by bums and boobs. But I'm sure a lot of people might think turning Sri Panwa into some kind of tropical paradise "playboy mansion" isn't appropriate and isn't "Thai" either. I wonder what Wan would say to that. #ศรีพันวา #แบนศรีพันวา
