The Thai online community has quickly glommed onto the Harlem Shake trend, flooding YouTube with multiple renditions of the 30-second meme.
The dance craze went viral internationally before invading the Kingdom. Based on a track by Brooklyn producer Baauer, the videos begin with a single person, dancing in a low-key manner. A crowd of people in odd costumes, who gyrate wildly to the song, then mobs this person 15-seconds into the clip.
The clip below seems to be the craziest (and subsequently most popular) of all. It is produced by Fedfe Boyband, a group of indie hipsters, reportedly as an advertisement for the upcoming Melody of Live concert. Check it out for yourself:
