Old-time Thai ads that can't be run today

Post by PeteC »

A humorous look back at what things used to be like here. I'm sure some readers remember a few of these ads, especially the one about toothpaste.

"The purpose of an advertisement is primarily to sell products but it also serves as a mirror to reflect the culture and societal values of its day. Before the bombardment of ads on YouTube and on our Facebook newsfeed, there were ads from the past that have accidentally become amusing by today's standard.

For your entertainment, I went on a hunt for vintage Thai ads that probably won't see the light of day if they were created today".......
