Lisa, a member of BLACKPINK and a global icon, has significantly boosted Thailand’s Culture through her music video “Rockstar.” Shot in the vibrant streets of Yaowarat, Bangkok’s Chinatown, the video showcases Thailand’s rich cultural heritage, colorful street life, and dynamic atmosphere. The secretive shoot, which closed parts of Yaowarat for three consecutive nights, highlighted Thailand’s unique blend of tradition and modernity.

The video’s release led to a phenomenon known as “Yaowarat explosion,” where fans flocked to the filming locations, danced to the song, created content, and enjoyed local cuisine, boosting Thai tourism and the local economy. Lisa’s influence has made Yaowarat a must-visit destination for both locals and international tourists.

The tuk-tuk, a symbol of Thai tourism, became even more famous, encouraging tourists to experience it for themselves.
