It says you have to register & you have to be in the US etc, but I know people who've downloaded other programmes from the same site using a download manager. (It needs to be pointed at the MMS link for the video files)

"Through the story of Rebecca, an aspiring singer on a journey across America, Connect With English touches on life's important issues: leaving home, parenting, education, work, love, success, and loss. All of the characters use meaningful, natural language that students can put to work immediately in their own lives. [unless they live in China ] Each episode features dialogue that is slightly slowed down and subtly simplified. Key lines are repeated, idioms paraphrased, and important events retold. There are constant visual clues to meaning, such as written signs, notes, and documents. Facial expressions, gestures, and body language also reveal meaning for students."

I've used 'French in Action' from the same site & found it very useful & quite entertaining. Maybe your Thai friends will find this useful too...
