This blog serves as a diary for my Society & Culture class and is a space for me to reflect daily on my experiences in Thailand. Here I offer a critical look at the life of Thai people from the point of view of a foreigner, or farang. Enjoy! -Gwen

Thai TV

Most English channels show sappy romantic movies or cheesy action films. Discover Channel is worth watching, but that's about it, which is fine because I don't want to watch TV anyway! I've attempted to watch Thai channels to improve my Thai, but it's even worse than the below average quality of the English channels. The average Thai TV episode in a nutshell: couple fights, it is raining, girl starts crying, girl runs away, girl waits by the phone, boy talks to new girl, old girl and new girl get angry at each other and yell. I can't be sure how it ends since I've never watched an entire episode.
