Yes if you are low budget or backpacker but since this ad is about company men finding factory, not the cheap Charlie, you must expect that they have decent budget right? There are many 4-5 stars chain hotel in Bangkok. And taxi, people just use app grab, bolt. The point is they make it like it’s so inconvenient to travel or find a nice hotel when it’s actually opposite. Are there poor bad accommodation/transportation in Thailand? Yes there are, but it’s not go with the story in this ad which are normal company men (not the cheap low budget backpacker) for cheaper price Thailand can offer better quality hotel than in western country because of lower cost of living.

In the case of Thailand, you never see anything about its culture, apart from negative ones. After so many years of progress, if all Americans can do is showing an outdated picture of the country, it is definitely very offensive. Where is the positive light they are sharing about this beautiful country? How much do they know about Thai customs and culture or the current stage of development in the country?

It is also very realistic these are he emotions and thought of everyone who travels. there is negativity, naivety, being out of your element, feeling lost and in a crazy fog half the time. stupid cloths everywhere that only wants to say Thailand in the most obnoxious way possible. sizes are always too small, customs just like anywhere can be a problem, i had my luggage misplaced once and it was in Thailand but i did get it back. my last trip i ended up in a hotel that was much worse than the one in the commercial and it had great reviews, here again very accurate.

This has nothing to do with being woke. There are many western movies or many Thai ads that show ugly/poor side of Thailand but no one get upset (like there are funny Thai ad which show homeless, beggar etc.) The reason people upset with this ad is because many thing in this ad is straight lie start from the airport to the vintage van taxi. Why they show airport for the low cost airline (Donmueang) for international flight from America (which suppose to be Suvannabhumi airport) And they make it like it’s so inconvenient to travel or find a nice hotel when it’s actually opposite. Are there poor bad accommodation/transportation in Thailand? Yes there are, but it’s not go with the story in this ad which the travelers are normal company men, not the cheap low budget backpacker, for cheaper price Thailand can offer better quality hotel than in western countries because of lower cost of living. Many 4-5 stars chain hotel in Bangkok. I use to have problem with the A/C in 4 stars chain hotel in New York but I never have that problem in the 4 stars hotel in Bangkok.

Thailand is not just the shiny new malls in Bangkok, it’s also the run down old shopping centres in Isaan province. Perhaps I am not able to fully understand the outrage because I’m not Thai.

Also, I think the portrayal of one of the first Thai men they met named “Mr.Happy” being portrayed as so effeminate and such a stereotypical caricature was a little odd. I could see this being normal in like the 1990s or 2000’s, but a little out of touch for today.

Wow. This is the problem with influencers. They just stir shit up for clicks... all to make $2.50. I saw the Apple video and anyone that's been in Thailand for more than a week has probably experienced all of those situations. This very newscast highlights more negative real events EVERY DAY (They even did it IN THIS VIDEO, lol). The Apple video (not really an ad, btw, but definitely promotional) was original and I found it pretty spot on. If Apple wanted to be critical of Thailand they could have easily highlighted MUCH worse things that everyone knows about.

The problem is the ignorant people that have never been to Thailand believing this Apple promotion to be the actual depiction of Thailand as a poor developing country with old school infrastructure. 100% Apple is not doing it out of malice, but it reflects on how the people who made it perceive Thailand, or perhaps how they want people to perceive Thailand, as a poor country to present a series of obstacles and unfortunate events to be overcome with the help of Apple products.

There are many western movies or many Thai ads that show ugly/poor side of Thailand but no one get upset (like there are funny Thai ad which show homeless, beggar etc.) The reason people upset with this ad is because many thing in this ad is straight lie start from the airport to the vintage van taxi. Why they show airport for the low cost airline (Donmueang) for international flight from America (which suppose to be Suvannabhumi airport) And they make it like it’s so inconvenient to travel or find a nice hotel when it’s actually opposite. Are there poor bad accommodation/transportation in Thailand? Yes there are, but it’s not go with the story in this ad which the travelers are normal company men, not the cheap low budget backpacker, for cheaper price Thailand can offer better quality hotel than in western countries because of lower cost of living. Many 4-5 stars chain hotel in Bangkok. I use to have problem with the A/C in 4 stars chain hotel in New York but I never have that problem in the 4 stars hotel in Bangkok. This ad show like it’s normal to lose the luggage at BKK airport while I never experience that at BKK but it happen to me at the airport in Europe.

OMG! Does somebody in the world see that video and think that it is a truthfull depiction of Thailand? We should stop this BS of being upset about anything! They asking more respectful portrails of Thailand?? So all those guys walking around Pattaya showing half naked women are more respectful as a comedy.....clear :) I am really thinking I should boycott Thailand for all the "upset" they can be....

One has to look at the bigger picture. In the past decade, "some" countries have gravitated more towards China and are also diversifying their trade in order to reduce dependency on the $. For this reason, the west is starting to fall out with those countries. Nothing is done unintentionally, by accident.

@@gotssssss In the case of smartphones, you're right. But I assume their biggest trading partner right now is China, and you can see Chinese investment and influence growing by the day, not to mention their recent bid to join BRICS, which I'm sure G7 countries aren't to happy about. Their trade with China goes far beyond just smartphones. Just my 2 cents!

Just improve the country then, everything in the ad is pretty true to itself. Just walk 10 steps away from any shopping mall, you will see filthy street, motorcycle riding on pedestrian walk way, and many more.

Depends which area, I'd say that's not everywhere and does not represent the majority. Indeed some of them still exist but we did improved much better since last 20 years, just the bus alone, we already have EV Bus ran all over Bangkok. Same as Taxi in the commercial is inaccurate since we're using Toyota Corolla or Altis 2017+, not some 1950 Car

Strangely, people around the world are outraged with the show at the Olympics opening but Thai people feel and act at the opposite thing. As a Thai, it appears that most Thais prefer to see a comprehensive view of a modern metropolis, even if modernity is concentrated in specific areas such as tourism and shopping districts. Just a few meters away from these so-called modern areas can lead to slum-like conditions. However, this contrast does not concern them; they are focused on the visual appeal of the modern parts.

1. The characters come from what seems to be a big company and if you have some money in Thailand you don’t have to go to a bad motel/home stay like in the ads 2. Apple purposely picked DonMuang instead of Suvarnabhumi Airport which is much bigger and nicer even the taxi after the airport scene is way too small inside than what taxi in Thailand would be 3. They made it feels like people can’t get taxi to go places so you wouldve get on a motorcycle instead Im born and raised i BKK i know we have problems but the ads make it feels like people won’t have choices. There is a difference between showing it as what it is and purposely makes it look bad

Bangkok is not objectively beautiful. Like most metropolis it is dirty, dark, and extremely claustrophobic. It's funny that right after the apple story you turn to one about flying debris.
