Edonista Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I do not speak Thai so I could just watch. There was a squeezed toothpast tube , followed by a guy screwing off light bulbes (I suppose to save on the electricity bill), in the end the Thai Royal emblem. I guess it is a spot promoting the "sufficiency economy" conceived by His Majesty. No wonder the stock market is nosing down... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_r Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Will toothpaste and lightbulbs really have such a big effect on the stockmarket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuky Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Strange, I have yet to encounter a single toothpaste tube in somebodies bathroom in Thailand, I have however been in many bathrooms with multiple toothpaste tubes, all without the cap on even if it is flip top style and atleast 20 toothbrushes for each resident of the house. I have personally thrown out every extra toothbrush in my bathroom many times only to find the next morning they have multiplied, and everyone uses the same toothbrush, strange way to do things.

tuky Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Will toothpaste and lightbulbs really have such a big effect on the stockmarket? In my example above they will, I have never seen so many toothbrushes and opened, dried tooth paste before in my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edonista Posted November 21, 2007 Author Share Posted November 21, 2007 Will toothpaste and lightbulbs really have such a big effect on the stockmarket? No, but the spreading knowledge that economic policy in this country is run by totally incompetent authorities surely had, has and will have.

No wonder the stock market is nosing down... Looks like this commercial is based on a couple of well-known and highly circulated stories about HM. It has been told for a very long time now, that HM never wastes any of his toothpaste and is very strict about wasting electricity at his palace. I think readers ought to be a little careful with their opinions on this thread. Edited November 21, 2007 by Stephen Cleary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xyborg Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Ive turned the heating up to 38c so the house glows and i dont need the lights on, as a precaution against this failing I have laid toothpaste trails around so I know where the corridors are, I like to do my bit!

Scott Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 I've never quite figured this 'sufficiency economy' thing out anyway. I think it was what I learned when I was about 12 and got a small allowance--don't spend it all at once, don't waste it, you should save some! I just never really thought of my poorly educated mom as being an economist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heng Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 I certainly use all of my toothpaste. And I certainly don't buy into using a big 'S' shaped amount as they "suggest" for you to do in toothpaste commercials. One simply dosen't need to use that much.

sriracha john Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 As the OP freely admits he's clueless as to what he witnessed and is making disjointed assessments on further disjointed speculations, is it possible that perhaps it's more advantageous to discuss the current price of tea in China?
