Ch7 dominates and Ch3 loses

I’m not surprise, Ch7 always dominate when it comes to TV ratings. This week and last was no different.

I remember a while back when I did a post about TV ratings in May, someone wrote in the comment section, who did the ratings? They couldn’t believe Ch3 was lagging behind Ch7. I’m sorry ladies, I don’t make these numbers up. They are professionally done by AGB Nielsen Media Research company, the same company that monitor TV viewership for American TV shows. This is legit as can be. No errors, Thais watch more Ch7 lakorns than any other channels’.

In terms of quality, I think Ch3, Modern 9, and Ch5 dominates. In terms of dialog and story, Ch7 knows their targeted audience, they use more slang, more everyday lingo. I have to say the dialog is very colorful compared to Ch3 and Ch5. Very informal. Very everyday.

I found Tawin and Pinky’s lakorn “Dew Palace” to be extremely dull, but yet it pulled in high TV ratings. Shrugs, how did that happen?

More pictures from the Siamdara Party Awards

A few more pictures from the event. I have to admit, everyone looked decent, though I am turned off by the fact that 90% of the guys there wore make-up. I’m not a fan of guys with make-up.

Son and Vill, they look so shiny. Gold and Silver. Son needs to lay off the foundation and the light purplish grandma color lipstick, it’s not looking pretty.

Confirm. Confirm. Our godly pra’ek “Tik” Jesadaporn Pholdee is getting married.

Well-tanned, wearing a yellow bandanna over his head and a beat-up old gray shirt with the “Navigator” logo on the front, Tik confirms his upcoming wedding to girlfriend “Peach” Sitamon Taengsuwan.

This wedding is not a rush rush wedding like everyone believes. It has been discuss for a couple of years now. Everyone in his family knows about it, everyone is happy. Their is no time-line for the wedding, no date has been set. If the date is set for July 9th, he is ‘yindee’ to marry her by that date. The date is up to the elders to decide.

For the wedding, he wants something laid-back and easy. Most likely, he it will be a combination of Chinese and Thai traditions. For the honeymoon, going all natural, Tik plans to take his bride to the mountains. Honeymoon camping trip! So like Tik!
