ABOUT

Kaprao is more than food; it’s a national dish with strong cultural ownership, where changes can spark backlash. For KFC, launching the ‘Kaprao Crispy Chicken Rice Bowl’ meant entering one of Thailand’s most sensitive food spaces. The challenge was to drive sales while staying culturally accepted. Instead of avoiding it, KFC embraced it, turning itself in first. ‘The Kaprao Criminals,’ a film set in an “Unauthentic Kaprao Jail,” showed every “wrong” version behind bars, with the Colonel among them. By turning the debate into entertainment, campaign transformed criticism into participation, driving engagement and resulting in KFC’s most successful rice launch.
