QX179R SG STOMPer sitdown shares Thailand's very own version of 'planking' -- the 'Pub Peab'. This new craze involves kneeling down in incongruous settings. The STOMPer quips: "While planking is the 'art' or rather nuisance of lying in an awkward position in a weird place face down, the Thais have started their own version which has gone viral. "The version called 'Pub Peab' involves sitting in a kneeling position in strange places. "Some traditionalists are outraged at the new craze as the position is usually reserved for formal settings. "Yet, planking was immediately overshadowed by this new craze. "Seeing that the Facebook page for 'Pub Peab' has more than 200,339 likes, I guess this trend with a Thai twist will be here to stay!" http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/stomp/sgseen/this_urban_jungle/669760/heres_the_thai_version_of_planking__pub_peab.html
mancha SG At least they adapt to their culture and don't ape the west wholesale, but they shouldn't have shown their faces.Maybe the Japanese, would bow on a flag pole, or on a Bullet Train and show only the top of their heads.
shanfan SG shouldn't this be in the planking forum Yes. The mod should help to move this to planking forum.
charlize SG I foresee other forms of planking will go viral soon. Sitting, standing, sleeping, smoking at different places.
