January 8, 20179 yr I am looking for video material (news, series) Thai dubbed AND subbed. I found this old thread: However, the links in that thread mostly dead. Besides, that thread is almost 6 years old. There must be new resources of that kind, e.g. youtube etc. Unfortunately, I am unable to find them. I am unable to find a solid news video site with thai subtitles. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.
January 24, 20179 yr Try YouTube search with "กินอยู่คือ" or "ครัวหัวหมอ" for starters. These are cooking shows.
January 28, 20179 yr I have just discovered the soap series Club Friday on Youtube. It has English subtitles (at least the 2 programs I checked had). They talk so fast and pronounce so unclearly it is hard to pick out individual words. But it's how Thai people speak conversationally. I can easily follow formal Thai in news programs (e.g Voice of America) but this is a real challenge for me.
February 8, 20179 yr Sugoi Japan or Sugoi Thailand Travel series presented by a Thai-speaking Japanese guy. I find his pronunciation easier to follow compared to a native speaker. I'm not a fan of the fonts used for the subtitles though Edited February 8, 20179 yr by Plotholes

"Difficult", but the typical day-to-day speed/pronounciation of thai people.
March 7, 20179 yr some interesting links and search keywords here, keep them coming! I'd be interested in clear Thai speech with English subtitles.
March 21, 20179 yr A few others. NHK have a daily 14-minute Thai-language news podcast for which they release a (Thai) transcript. It's NHK so you'll be listening to a lot of Japanese news. www.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/th/ Some of the earlier episodes of เจาะข่าวตื้น (on youtube) were partially subtitled in English, though they gave that up pretty quickly. As a listening exercise, it's not the easiest material but it's very funny and always relevant to current affairs. Thai PBS has a radio show called ห้องสมุดหลังไมค์ (at www.thaipbsradio.com/category/sbj5g9sswvfr/) - they broadcast serializations of novels in 50 minute slots so you can buy the original and read along or just listen. At the moment, I'm listening to โรงแรมผี as I do the gardening. Thai Deaf TV (www.youtube.com/use/thaideaftv) has tons of programmes available subbed in Thai. Some of the GTH films have Thai subtitles and I think Hormones (high-school series which I never watched) was released with English subtitles (and I'm sure would be available somewhere on the internet.)
