THAI HUMOR & LITERATUREHumour is an important part of everyday life. A good laugh, says the worn klyshan, but there is truth in that statement. In Thailand, the humor is as prominent as in any other country. Humor on TV in Thailand is given. Both Thai and dubbed programs. Doraemon is a very popular and fun healthy figure in the Thai television and video world. TV advertising is a product that many see as boring. But if advertising is topped with humor, it becomes more easy-going and if you can laugh, I think that advertising goes home better. There might be some study that proves this? Probably. I have put together 10 pieces clips of Thai TV commercials with humor. Watch and laugh please!
