Thai Addictions


I have an addiction that began a few years ago. I have even got my children addicted. Shame on me! No it's not what you think. My secret addiction is Thai soapies. I love them! They are full of very white looking, rich middle class Thais who all live in Bangkok mansions with heaps of servants. The story lines are hard to follow but always involve lots of angry scenes, tense 'danger music' and the obligatory kung fu fighting. Even the grannies kick butt. Back when I first started watching I used to wish they had sub tittles but it's much more fun making up the story as you go. Josh and I were watching a bizarre episode the other day that involved a group of young Thais being held hostage in a coffee factory. The commercials in between are just as funny. They all have little animated characters talking and dancing (like the one above).
