looking for the Thaiest Thai drama in all of Thailand

it doesn't really matter what the story is about, as long as it's nothing emotionally disturbing. I'm just looking for something that feels quintessentially Thai in all possible ways. traditional and modern culture, something that you could show in a classroom full of ignorant westerners and by the end of it they'd come out being experts on what it means to be Thai in Thailand, past and present. you know? that sort of thing.
is there such a thing?
I'd take anything that comes close to any of that as well :)

I'm so sorry for the late reply, for some reason I didn't get a notification for this and just randomly happened upon it by aimlessly browsing around. super weird.

thank you so much for your recommendations! I'll definitely try them :)

if you know of any documentaries one could actually get their hands on online, please do tell, I'm not at all opposed to those.

but also: it doesn't have to be a super realistic depiction of actual Thai life either, sometimes being true in spirit can be enough! or, even just a thorough representation of Thai culture in form of entertainment. you know? anything goes, as long as it gives the right feeling ;)

hehe, thanks! I appreciate the thought. I'm already familiar, both with the guy and his channel. but I'm sure not everyone is.

in terms of Thai Language resources on youtube I'd rather recommend the following though:

Let's Learn Thai! https://www.youtube.com/c/LetsLearnThai
BYU https://www.youtube.com/c/Byu99/
Speak Thai Possible https://www.youtube.com/c/SpeakThaiPossibleWithNaam
I get Thais https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTLlGNIbsMnf8mMgznk1tZQ

sadly all of this is on the back burner right now, because life has been throwing more pressing matters at me lately, but I have reached out to actual Thai people on speaky and already had some lovely conversations there. it's actually not that hard to find people there who are fluent in English and happy to have a chat about stuff and answer stupid questions. there's also a lot of scammers on there, though, and of course lots of dudes looking for a hookup, so one has to be a bit cautious, careful and selective.

I read you with life throwing stuff at you. Hope that goes well for you.

thank you! I hope so, too XD

 newbiefan:

Yay that you have connected with genuinely helpful Thais. Ew, dodgy dudes need help, all the best for avoiding them.

it's not all that hard, you can filter people by age, gender and languages. you can't really stop anyone from contacting you of course, but then you don't have to engage with them. and I have everything I'm looking for noted in my profile, so if people contact me who are not what I'm looking for, I don't feel bad about ignoring them, either ;)
