It was from this guy, Sek LoSo. Sek is his nickname and Loso come from the band he started about 17 years ago. LoSo is play on the Thai word - HiSo, which means High Society. Sek and his band mates were from rural Thailand and were, therefore, the representatives of Low Society, or LoSo.
Actually, I had ran into Sek years ago - also at the airport. That time, he signed my ticket stub, but it's now lost. So, glad to get my memorabilia back from this Thai-Rock icon.
While I'm on the topic... years ago, I ran into Lek Carabao at a market in Chiang Mai. This guy is a legend, and I was truly star struck, compared to meeting Sek Loso, which was simply cool.
If you're curious about his handlebar mustache, it represents the bands symbol - the skull and horns of a water buffalo. Carabao means water buffalo in Tagalog.
