22 May, Bangkok - Thai advertisements are renown for either being very touching:
Or very funny:
Even Namwee, kind of the Malaysian and more talented version of Roy Ngerng, sang an entire song about a Thai girl.
So, to the shock and horror of fellow Thai countrymen and bored office workers and students all over the world who rely on Thai ads and the 3 Thai words we know for a source of entertainment, Mr. Porno Sakkuporn, an advertising executive, couldn't live up to the expectations and created a Thai ad that was neither funny nor touching.
He was outcast by his friends and felt like a social misfit, he says. Even his foreigner friends gave him dirty looks, and didn't believe him when he told them Thai people don't eat tom yum soup everyday; he felt he had lost credibility.
However, Mr. Porno picked himself up and is now studying for a degree in the prestigious Southern Pacific University, and will be invited by the Singaporean government to fill a professional position that Singaporeans don't want to fill. "I belieeve, that, Singapore is great country!"
