Thai Health Promotion Foundation | New Chiang Mai | Thailand

The Thai Health Promotion Foundation is promoting its largest northern city, Chiang Mai, as a model city with a campaign by Jeh United in Bangkok.

‘Our Better Chiang Mai’ aims to educate the Thai public about waste reduction. It aims to reduce garbage production by 30 per cent and change the daily habits of the Thai people to include recycling and filtering waste before releasing it to the canal.

The commercial spots include a guerilla marketing campaign by a Chiang Mai University student. His group ‘Phoenix 26’ is made famous through YouTube. He cross-dresses as a woman in most cases and performs in different areas of Chiang Mai, surprising people with a public awareness messages. The comical project aims to attract the attention of the younger generation.

The website encourages people to contribute stories on how they can make Chang Mai a better place. It contains event details and asks people to pledge and support the campaign. Jeh United is also using Facebook and Twitter to promote the project.

“We don't think one-way communication works for this kind of project. Participation from Chiang Mai people is the key to success,” said partner and ECD Weerachon Weeraworawit at Jeh United. “This kind of project is the first in Thailand. To change the whole city's attitude, technically speaking. Now other cities start to talk about this project as we try to implement it nationwide later on,” he added.
