Take note: One of the world’s biggest pop stars has arrived in the Thai capital.
Above is a snapshot of today’s Bangkok Post front page.
The Post reports:
Lady Gaga arrived at Don Mueang airport in her private jet late Wednesday, and was greeted by a large crowd of fans before her Friday evening concert in Bangkok.
She immediately tweeted:
“I just landed in Bangkok, baby! Ready for 50,000 screaming Thai monsters. I wanna get lost in a lady market and buy fake Rolex.”
There’s also a video clip of her arrival, embedded above and on YouTube here.
