Re-Build
Posted by 'Pong in Advertisement on 03/01/2010
Every now and then I just get hooked by YouTube by TVCs from Thailand. It is very good to see how they turned around a tradition product to catch up the with audience without losing its legacy. I am not sure this two TVCs are from the same campaign since the tone and genre go in different ways for different purposes.
The first one is an uplifting about a bankrupt father whose his son reminds him of the willpower to re-build his business whereas the latter is a straight forward Kung-Fu TV series spoof. (You do not need subtitles, do you?)
It is almost a norm in creative strategy now that you alternate mood and tone of a product so that it is hard to compare with the predecessor’s success and retain the target’s royalty.
I may keep digging down more TVCs, old ones and the ones I discover. Compare and share.
After the Party

Thailand Election Map 2007-2009
Move your mouse over the image to see the 2009 map. (It is not too long to wait for the second image loaded.)
I cannot find any visual data on by-election in Thailand to compare with the election in 2007 so I have to do it myself. Because this election is the first test of the new Government led by the Democrat and pro-Thaksin protesters (red shirts) do not like it, it is interesting to see how the votes swing.
Even though the coalition gains some stability with 20 more seats in the parliament, the country still struggles to find the way to reconcile their stands. It seems divided into two and he change is just too small to get excited.
Disclaimer:
- This is not an actual representative of data. I just simply estimate it.
- This map is not weighted by the number of MP in each province. For instance, Bangkok would be the biggest in proportion with 39 members.
- It does not take a genius why I use red to represent the PPP and Peua Thai Party but why not yellow for the Democrat. Because they both are different creatures. Besides their colour is blue.
- The years represented in the map are in B.E.
- I would love to go deep down to electorate level. Unfortunately, it is not going to happen without the full map of Thailand. I am not that nerdy.

Thai Food Festival 2008

Thai Food Festival 2008 — Is it an 'i' or an 'l' covered?
While Thailand is celebrating Loy Krathong Festival around November each year, Thai community in Sydney has an unrelated event, Thai Food Festival, in Tumbalong Park, Darling Harbour. This year features Thai Prawn Showcase to promote the export.
One trick I learn is to stay around until the party is over. The stalls are willing to lower the food price rather than pack the food back even though there is not much left to scoop.
