Episode 2: Swearing farang strikes back with popular country tune

Look everyone, it’s a video of the badass Nelson Howe bustin’ out some sweet moves to a luk thung song.

If that doesn’t attract a wave of views and comments, we don’t know what will.

New York professor Nelson Howe, whose rich knowledge of Thai vulgarity earned him internet idol status in the kingdom, is featured in the second episode of “BKK 1st Time” to show the internet his first Thai dance.

Of course series creator Thanachart Siripatrachai made Howe dance to the popular song Kor Jai Ter Laek Ber Toe by Ying Lee.

The video gained almost 140,000 views in one night as the social network went crazy over Howe’s comeback.

We judge his moves, mostly from the original video, quite splendid, especially considering he usually dances to Salsa and Mambo and not luk thung.
