villagefarang Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 It all depends on their interests and how good their English is. One thing my wife and I found interesting was how much time Thai friends overseas spent watching Thai soaps and keeping up with Thai gossip. My wife never knew what they were talking about even though we live in Thailand and they don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be true, but at least she isn't violent and would never beat/smack someone. But in fact I expressed it wrong......she meant people who ONLY look soap operas and not interested in anything like news/education/what is going on. With which she mean a certain type of people. Specially these who confuse real life and TV life. (Recently a friend with a young girl visit us and the girl does nothing else than looking soap operas and act as a copy of what she sees in TV) It is not meant that someone who looks soap operas is automatically a buffalo....I expressed it wrong and apologize.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Songhua Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 My wife can't stand them. Even when we're in Thailand she won't watch them. She recently met up with a group of Thai friends (some of whom have been here in Oz even longer than her own twenty years) and didn't recognise a single soap or dara they were talking about. It's not as though the shows aren't available here either - there's one Thai shop in Brisbane for instance which hires out DVDs of the soaps aired as recently as the previous night. We also know some Thais who have three metre-wide dishes in their backyard and never watch English language television. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattayadingo Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 My other half watches DLTV every day to learn more English. She finds it is better because it is dual language. Fox crime rates high on her agenda - spoken Thai. Miracle TV - I often hear her laughing out loud at the antics of the 'real life' situations. Evenings it is Thai soaps in the bedroom as I watch English tv / movies in the main room. Every morning her main fix is... Stargate 1 (now she is on season 8) BBC wildlife The walking dead Series 3 ^^^ all 3 in English and d/l as torrents by me. Any English horror movies I can d/l and the more gory the better (think Saw / Evil Dead etc) I wonder who is the abnormal Thai watching tv sometimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
