I can't offer much in the way of advice, but if anyone is looking for an extra for a Heineken commercial or similar, please drop me a line.

Hi Penny,

There is certainly a market for foreigners in commercials,modelling,etc. However, they require a certain look which is popular at the moment. I have been modelling a bit and there are some reliable agencies in BKK who provide jobs for foreigners in commercials,modelling,catwalk,print,etc. But like I said,they do have requirements and will only pick the 'good looking ones'. I am in a big hurry so haven't been checking your profile but are you male/female,where are you from (the eastern european look is 'hot' for promotional activities),etc. I do have some contacts so just let me know if you are interested (its high profile) and I can help you out (maybe). Well,let me know!

BYE,

Mario

From my experience Western looks with Eastern touch works well. (Euroasian).

Try Grammy, RS, Kantana or Media of Medias.

All four produce commercials but they prefer Thai Farangs (guys).

BTW: Khaosan isn't just about backpackers.

That must have been a hard question.

If the commercial calls for a model-type person then yes, they'll look for model types- however that's not always the case. I'm definitely not a model but was approached (on Sukhumvit) along with a friend of mine to audition for a commercial about 2 years ago.

I was busy on the day of the audition but my friend went to it- he was there for about 2 hours and did a screen test to play a bank robber. He didn't get the part... but noted that there were a lot of 'ordinary' looking farang around, not just models.

After all, if they really want a model type they'll go for 'luuk kreung' over us foreigners anyway.

Cheers!
