Lupatria Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I think more patriotism and nationalism is the last thing this country needs. Isn't it enough to be the hub of everything and the center of the galaxy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just1Voice Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 What an excellent initiative one more times from PM General Prayuth whom saw TV shows are watched daily in each family home instead of showing perpetual so often stupid family dramas plays based on money, greed, unfaithful behavior and business skills shortcuts... showing at the same times luxury items very very few benefits from....reading books has completely disappeared if added video games... For nothing to change everything has to change and PM General Prayuth is the RIGHT Man at the Right times in the Thai modern History new chapter he has opened himself so brilliantly. This IS sarcasm, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valentine Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 How about highlighting, good morals & ethics, showing the evil downside of corruption, honest cops & politicians, sustainable living just to name a few. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Aleman Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I'm not sure Thailand has any historic moments but only watch when forced to by my bed warmer ! It would be nice if these soaps had a story/script/actors/director and guns that didn't contain 363 bullets.but, I guess that's asking to much.

Scott Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I am one of those rare people who actually likes Thai Soap operas. My partner, however, flat refuses to even allow them to be on the TV, so I almost never get to watch them. Maybe that's why I like them; It's forbidden to watch them!

Suriya4 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Siam never lost a war or be colonized. Any other history are either fake or false. Go read 1984. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggt Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 They could go back any number of years...and show how Thailand has a history of violence, political unrest, inhumane treatment of immigrants, abuse of school children, and disregard for human life...Thainess demands that Thais continue their well documented tradition...

Lingba Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 It's true enough that Thai soaps are horrible trashy TV, but the General's message sounds like something that might be said in North Korea. I hope this country isn't headed in that direction. Don't worry..The only direction Thailand has ever had is dependant on which way the wind is blowing...it it changes constantly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullstop Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 PM urges that TV soap operas added some historic......contents Like how they crapped their pants and gave away huge parcels of land to the French so they wouldn't be colonised? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realenglish1 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 (edited) PM urges that TV soap operas added some historic and patriotic contents Strange; I thought that was what they are currently full of. That is all very well and Good Mr. General but how about cracking down and violence of woman on Thai soaps LIttle kids are watching that Do you want them to grow up treating a woman like that I hope not Edited August 29, 2014 by realenglish1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickirs Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 “The best way to take control over a people and control them utterly is to take a little of their freedom at a time, to erode rights by a thousand tiny and almost imperceptible reductions. In this way, the people will not see those rights and freedoms being removed until past the point at which these changes cannot be reversed.” - Adolph Hitler 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kriswillems Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 (edited) My son goes to a Thai school. He's only 6 and already totally indoctrinated. Their books on "social science" are 70% patriotic bullshit - in my opinion not worth the word "science". They spend several hours per week on the subject. Even the normal language books are for 10% on patriotic subjects.... and then didn't talk yet about greeting the flag ceremony every morning (30 minutes).

SMSinBangkok Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 He said he would like these Thai soap operas to contain the country’s history and patriotism. So will they include all the lost wars with Burma, the sacking of Ayutthaya, the piracy on the Gulf of Siam when the Vietnamese were robbed of their gold, the pact with Germany and Japan during WW2, how the people of the north sent their daughters to work in brothels when they needed a new fridge, the Saudi Gem affair and so on.., in the Soup operas? If, than maybe I will start to watch the crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Local Drunk Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Well... one might ask a Brit or an American born after 1975 what they actually know about anything relative to the history or culture of their nations? To teach culture and history is a very good thing. That particular lacking has certainly been the demise of the west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alwyn Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Maybe think up a new story line,they all are basically the same,nasty mother with equally nasty daughter,mother wants her to marry hansom rich man,but hes in love with a sweet young girl, enter overtly gay man stage left,and a couple of maids, thats it folks!, change setting but keep story line.mind dumbing tv, oh and don't forget the bells and whistles for effect. bye the way i don't watch them,but watch the wife watching them. regards Worgeordie yup, that pretty much sums them up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluespunk Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 (edited) "He wished that these series should better add some histories and patriotic events in it." Once more the headline and the story don't match. Expressing a personal wish is not the same as urging anyone to do anything.
