Popular Post webfact Posted October 18, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 18, 2022 (Photo by thaistandupcomedy Facebook page) Stand-up comedian Udom “Nose” Taepanich is under the spotlight after jokes in his latest show drew criticism and ignited an online clash between supporters and opponents of Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha. Some observers see the drama as proof that the deep and long-standing divide in Thai society is no closer to being healed. The two sides have been trading heated arguments on social media since October 11, when Udom’s “Deaw 13” show debuted on Netflix. The 54-year-old comedian performed 10 rounds of his show between June 10 and 19 to a packed audience at the 5,000-seat Royal Paragon Hall. However, the public drama over his jibes directed at General Prayut only erupted after the show reached the masses via online streaming. Intentional or not, the controversy helped propel “Deaw 13” to No 1 position in the streaming service’s “Top 10 TV Shows in Thailand Today”.

herfiehandbag Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 It was quite amusing, but what struck me was the audience. Young, educated middle class urban Thais. Exactly the group on whose support the current regime relies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that they do in particular - the electoral results of "Future Forward" confirm that. But they are a group whose support the current regime would see as a central part of their support.
