Advertising on Thai TV - Over the Top?

Post by MrPlum »

I rarely watch TV and even rarer still, watch Thai TV. One of the reasons is the pervasive extent of advertising. The third world seems to tolerate this much more than we do.

I thought I would share a pic of our newborn and give thanks to the sponsors who will be taking care of her for the rest of her days. They're so adorable at this age...

So he found the bottle in the washer, then tried to prise the top off with only one tooth. Enterprising young man. :thumb:

We don't bathe him anymore D-M, I'm a bit worried the 'love' will come off his top, he was picking at it when he was just 4 months old, should I be concerned?

"The beer that reaches parts most others can't"

I've been looking at Thai TV advertising and it falls into three main categories in this order of appearance:

1) Cosmetic/beauty products - well over 50% of all advertising I'd say.
2) Pickup trucks.
3) Household products.

I wonder if it changes from region to region.
