Watch กบนอกกะลา Online

[DanR]

A quick search didn't reveal anything on this but my apologies if it's a repeat....I caught the programme กบนอกกะลา last night. For those who don't know, it's a light-hearted half-hour documentary (last night's was about a school for blind kids) which is subtitled throughout. I always have problems finding listening material which is at my level and this, with the subtitles, was excellent and as a bonus it was also quite interesting. After a quick hunt on the internet, I came across this web site which has a load of the old shows. Be warned tough - to make the site tolerable you need to make heavy use of adblock and noscript or all the flashing advertisements for breast enlargments and tightening of the ...ahem... female parts will induce an epileptic fit. Alternatively, you could track them down individually on youtube.

Here's another one for you. with a bunch of episodes on youtube: หัวใจใกล้กัน

กบนอกกะลา (or Frog Outside the Coconut shell) is a great learning tool. However, the absolutely hideous design and content of the website to which the OP has provided a link makes it deserving of no traffic whatsoever from this forum, imho. Here is a link to a playlist of episodes from You Tube instead

You Tube - Frog Outside

Incidentally, and coz I love trivia, กบนอกกะลา is a play on the idiom กบในกะลาครอบ or 'frog covered by a coconut shell', which is used to describe someone who is ignorant of the wider world. Watchers of the programme are, of course, just the opposite - hence the twist on the idiom.
