If it to good to be true, it is not true.

[Bluespunk]

That is brilliant, really funny.

[retell]

hahahaha great

[CelticBhoy]

In the land of the flat-chested they need a bra ad?

[FarangTalk]

How did I guess it would feature a ladyboy.

*yawn*

[Misterwhisper]

Hilarious!

But hurry and watch it while still you can, because I half expect the completely-out-of-touch-with-modern-times Culture Ministry to soon raise a hypocritical storm in a tea cup over this outrageous alleged abrasion of traditional, oh so sacred and thus untouchable Thai cultural values.

[Thai at Heart]

And they punish some bloke for causing anxiety over a coup. Quite funny though.....

Thainess? Does anyone get it?

[Thaimung]

I laughed my socks off when I watched this!!! Not to be missed.

[Jingthing]

Thumbs up to the "after" picture ...

[Andre0720]

Reminds me of my first visit to Thailand years ago.

German guy I met on Kao Sand Rd who was coming back from Samui, and made me decide to go spend my 3 weeks holiday there.

He told me "Be careful, the most beautiful girls there are not girls".

Right after the girl took off her make up, they switched models. The dude has a longer face.

[monkey4u]

Thailand, strange one day totally bizarre the next.

How many young men got their rocks off watching this add.

Bangkok lived up to its name I think

[Thai at Heart]

Thumbs up to the "after" picture ...

Haha.

As a heterosexual man, I find it all a little blech....Either way, this has been done to a small extent before for Spy Wine cooler on a TV advert.

Man sees stunning model at the bar, "Would like you like a gin and tonic?". "No thanks I'll have a spy". Next girl he asks, "Would you like a vodka and orange", "no thanks, I wil have a spy", third even more stunning girl he walks up to "Would you like a spy?", who answers in a deep baritone, "Yes please".

Yeah that's what I think.

[FarangTalk]

How appropriate; there's an advert to 'browse girls' pointing to another advert of a banana on this page.

[davidstipek]

...Without insult or injury to face of Thai Women. They have succeeded in finding a way to promote they Product. This isn't 4 Star or even 5 Star, That would be an insult!!

My Vote: 10 STAR

[jeff2258]

I think it is very creative and funny

[Suffinator]

So obvious, so lame; what else would you expect to go viral in Thailand. Just look at the amount of crap that goes viral on the social media.

What a nice change to the normal crap we all love to moan about so much.

[Buckaroo]

I love the advertising on the net and b4 on TV in Thailand, I think it is one of the few things that this country excels at, I just wish any of the other TV here, was any where near as good.

I like the tune as well

No, it's not true. Save some stills and overlay them, you will see its the same person.

You don't get it, do you. Who do you think the target market is for bras? Well it certainly isn't guys. Well, maybe some guys. But it's well made nevertheless. Just because you didn't like it doesn't really mean anything.

To be honest, this word viral is being misused here... first off, viral always indicates something dangerous and infective always is connected with bad things... in the fashion industry, they have their own words for these kinds of things.. so its a bit stupid to copy others, just coz others do... the ole, "monkey see, monkey do" sort of way... and anyone with 1/2 intelligence could state it in a way that fits its use... then, ok so thai girls and katoey's like to show off... the girls, its great... so its not a bad thing, not a virus(where viral comes from)...

then we got the fact that trends change, in china they've been wearing push ups for a long time, not to mention western countries forever... this is fashion this is what people do... soon bell bottoms will be or going bra-less will happen again? "in fashion" or "viral"... and in the final words... "who in the hell cares if girls do that?" why do we need to make this a news subject... our world is going mad... hehe as bad as NBC news talking about the soaps on news times.

[marell]

Pretty good. Thai 'out of the box' ads can be really funny. Too bad they couldn't have worked the TAT cat bag into it

I don't know maan. Plenty of them up north Thai farmer's daughters are nicely endowed. Very nicely.

[louse1953]

TIT or not!

I thought the same .. but check this out... (Behind the Scenes)

Dunno should I give credit to the Model or the Make up Artist....

But definitely a Creative Ad
