A tongue in cheek  question to the long suffering farang expat brigade in Siam:
Do you watch Thai television? If so, what are your fav programs and your pet hates?
I mean - I pick up a Thai TV channel, here in Blighty, (I know, I know ñ I should get a life and watch more quality programs such as Never Mind the Buzzocks or Tweenies) and I find it mind numbing; repetitive silly game shows hosted by bleached blonde male presenters aping western fashion and culture, melodramatic soap operas and cooking programs (my fav) which I find highly conducive of sleep. Also there are quite a few comic shows, granted that I canít understand a single world of what they are saying, I still havenít grasped the finer points of Thai sense of humour, if such thing exists.
When I was in Thailand I did watch TV, in between bedroom sessions with my tiraks, but this is one thing Iím not looking forward to when going back there.

I Actually like watching the Thai game shows..........although I don't have a clue on what they're saying, it seems hilarious to me. Those soap operas are really annoying though.

You could try swapping channels when there is a commercial break.
The plot will be exactly the same but with slightly different actors.

Another thing is to why most all of the girls in the Thai soaps feel they have to shout/scream their lines?
It sounds to me like a 4 year old learning to play the violin.

Yes! I agree with bkkz. The commercials are the best..........that is if you want to have a good laugh! I once saw this pizza commercial with some Snoop Dog music. A pizza commercial with Snoop Dog music???? It made me laugh my head off at the end!

All the above points apply to most TV channels the world over. Isn't that why they call it the I.Box ? :eyecrazy:

Always get a laugh from that advert where the girl slaps the guy sitting on a bench next to her, pretending to swat a noisy mosquito from his face. It's advertisingÝshaving cream or aftershave. Great ad.
The UBC "do it to me baby"Ýsong and dance advert is pretty good too.

Certainly, most of them are. The chicks on screen are really stunning. However, few others (including hte ones at the theathres) are really nonsense and even stupid. In fact, I only like the HEINEKEN ones....The chicks ar enot bad though....
Thai TV? Apart of those stupid soap operas (20:00-22:00) where so-called actors and actresses are screaming and crappy faking emotions the whole f_cking time the Thai hour for the news is nice. Have you seen the girls reading the news? She is nice. Think I saw a couple at Emporium once....
