  • Oppose. While I don't think Sca's reasoning is relevant to the Featured Picture Criteria, this photo was taken at a manufactured tourist attraction in Pattaya, and the authenticity of the portrayed subject and thus the accuracy of the information the image provides should be strongly questioned, especially since it's being used in the Karen people article as the infobox image. I've removed the image from the article, considering that it was added as part of the WPWP campaign, which is known for generating a huge amount of poor quality/inaccurate image additions. The photo could probably find better use illustrating an article about ethnic tourism or something along those lines, were it accompanied by relevant and verifiable commentary. --Paul_012 (talk) 14:08, 21 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
