Ta Lok Hok Chak | YouTube Video

This is a TV program which is a kind of comedy. There are various humorous scenarios. In each scenario, the characters will act and present the most recent and trendy jokes that most Thai natives will consider funny. I encourage those who want to learn what Thai people generally find funny to learn from this program.

Imaginary Heartbreak | Tweet

This is a Thai joke. The word “ทิพย์” is typically used for describing how gods in heaven live, which is imaginary. Now, the word “อกหักทิพย์” is used to describe an imaginary heart-break to be sarcastic to those single people who feel heart-broken despite having no experience of being in a relationship at all. 

Temple Sign | Signage

This is the sign post located in the temple where it happens to be ironically a place for a concert instead of a peaceful place. Using the word “ห้าว” to address the warning to specific group which is gangsters who seem to be habitually cause the disturbance. The fine will be 3 million baht, so if you don’t have that much money, don’t dare to cause any problem in the concert. 

Learn Thai from memes | YouTube Video

This is the channel to teach Thai language in everyday life. This particularly chosen video is about memes to help understanding Thai language and cultures. It is a salient resource to help understand the humor of Thai people.

Bike for teacher | Meme

This is a Thai meme showing the sarcastic warning from the teacher to the students to submit the assignments as soon as possible before getting an F. The idea of “Bike for Teacher” is originally inspired by the national project on the King’s birthday, “Bike for Dad”. The word bike in Thai is “ปั่น” which could also be used in the sense of rushing to finish something. So, the teacher on Facebook try to use this meme to pressure the students to rush to submit the assignments as soon as possible; otherwise, they will receive an F. The fact that Miley Cyrus photos are displayed in the meme clearly shows that Thai memes have been influenced by the American media.

Coronavirus Meme | Image

 This is a very interesting meme about the current and trendy situations in Thailand. Due to the Coronavirus outbreak in Thailand, the Thai government and royal soldiers help, with bare hand packing the hygienic masks to sell to the Thai people. It is obviously ironic because it looks not hygienic at all with the bare hands. Therefore, the idea of “hygienic masks which are not hygienic at all” sounds like the typical song titles of Getsunova band that often presents the ironic sense in it. It is super hilarious!
