[Altimit1417]

[calvin0433]

Sad thing is majority of the time these are based off true stories...

[Junniechi]

WHY ON EARTH ALL THAI LIFE INSURANCE ADS ARE THIS SAD! DAMN I CAN'T HAVE MYSELF CRYING WHEN WE ARE IN CLASS DOING ADS RESEARCH!

*ahem* Anyway *cries* Nice ad ;A;

[shanetheninja101]

[zacandashleys1fan]

I did NOT see that coming! they showed the empty seat at his sons concert and expected him to show up. then I thought, " Look! a bus! woah... WTF!"

Happy american life insurance commercials have made me weak.

[simoninsingapore]

Touchy Commercial. Thx 4 the translation

[arturito26]

hey jazztonish thanks for the translation!!

[mysterious6262]

that shocked me in the end i was like holy crap and it is kind of sad cause think about it what if you and your son were having a fight amd you were about to emake up and then you die it just kind of makes you think

[OvayBrandao]

wtf?? this ain't so touchy. It didn't make me cry. Still, it's a good commercial. I think it's inspired by the movie "save the last dance".

[408g0yphy]

very powerful and touching

[oxXElloXxo]

;___;

[localHazzard]

Damn that's a sad commercial, yet beautiful. T_T

[MonokuroBooHokKan]

That guy looks a bit like Bao Chung Lai.

[jazztonish]

| As I said earlier, I needed few more time...| The time to do things that I haven't done. | More time to love him and take care of him....

end of translation

[jazztonish]

(1 of 2)

I needed more time... | The time to tell my son that I love him the most. | /Get up, boy. You know you're strong./ | I wanted to have more time to get to know him. | /Liar! I saw that you went out with your band. Was that your friend's house?/ | I wanted to listen to what he wants to tell. | /You think that you're that good? Get out!/ | I wanted to talk and listen to his song. | I wanted to apologize. |

[TakoneAnaka]

Oh wow, I don't even understand the language-- what a very strong commercial.

Thanks to mordeth13! Remarkable...

[ReicheruAnn]

This made me cry... when I saw the huge semi right in front of the car, and then collision, i was like "whattt...." and then the tears came...never thought that a commercial could make me cry...

[punkstoper]

wow mordeth13 is right, why cant we have that in Britain.

[usmcjones1]

mordeth13 is right very powerful

[cashy55]

I hear ya! Love the whole concept of the watch but!

[0Jacob0]

That is an awesome render of the watch smashing to pieces

[sam2813]

omg this is on tv??

[iAMmrsCENA]

:'( definitely touchy

[cheheboy808killa]

why did I watch this video why?!?!?! :'(

[toospicy118]

Ok so, dont call me a uneducated Child because Believe me.. im not

I just really dont get it. :S

Explain someone?

[itsssjim]

"child"

[jmmyjimmy106]

I cannot be 100% percent sure, but it seems that the first set of videos you see with the father and son are what actually happened. Then when he is in the crash, (Some people say you see your life flash before your eyes, and you can see what you could have done better) he thinks about all of that stuff. Still mearly a speculation I don't speak the language of Thailand

[amindasho]

OMG so sad so touchy

[jacobcruz69]

good one

this one can also be a Beer commercial, for not driving while you've got a hangover...

[BioMessiah]

That's terrible. The CGI was good though : /

[omcginty44]

LOL AZN DRIVERS

[xXChibiJessXx]

wow that's kinda mean

[geom128]

Mean? Yes.

Hilarious? Definitly.

[lnclemente]

thats a good one!

[Hamsterloki]

O...my...god...fist commecial ever to make me cry! THAT IS SO GOOD! God....wow...

[TomCat2800]

Same! Mastery of screenplay!

[na2629]

Awesome!!!

[friginator]

I want more time. Time to tell my son I love him more than anything.

Flashback: "Get up! Be a man! You can do it!"

Time to understand him better.

Flashback: "Liar! Going to a friend's house? I saw you hanging out with those musicians!"

Listen to his opinions.

Flashback: "Oh, is that right?! Get out!"

To talk to him. Listen to his songs. To tell him I'm sorry. Like I said. I want more time. Time to do what I've never done. To take better care of him. To love him more.

Thai Life Insurance.

[B1aDK2]

thanks

[friginator]

Holy shit. How does this ever end up on the air? That was one of the most traumatic things I've seen in recent memory. Clearly that's their intention, but still-- Thai Life Insurance is downright twisted.

[Debz0005z]

can someone translate what the voice over says please! I read that it shocked someone before i watched and i still was like "wow!" when he crashed! Is he dead?

[gearsmaniac]

Because the public are scared of death and scared about what will remain after they are gone, this exploits this fear really well.

I mean, im welling up as i write this and im not even watching the video, just listening to the music. =P

[Lucidmike78]

It looks like the seatbelt saved his life. Good thing he's gonna live so he can keep paying for life insurance.

[tubegangsta]

LOL nice one

[robinphillips]

Great Ad......... it creeps up & gets you about half way through ;-)

[openh20]

hoooly crap... powerful images..

[parotdestroyer]

bravo, magnifico, high five!!!!, pure awesoness. 3l33t, ftw.

[chumpornp08]

He said "I want more time" at both the beginning and the end of the ad. The watch breaking is symbolic.

[Philivix]

brilliant

[Active787878]

;_;

for reals

[kevincyeh]

so did he die?

sad commmerical

[LifeInsuranceLife]

Where do you get life insurance from.

[Rael0505]

i-i

[rexthebarker]

;_;

[blackmage1989]

Omg. I got shocked.

...

[AliceMarg]

Asians always make the saddest life insurance commercials.

[ValeriePF]

Oh... my god. Wow.

[DavidOckham]

no fuckin way.

[sandwich81]

I love the shot of watch breaking apart

[Charles2337]

DAM!

[saysogirl]

='( mad℮ m℮ cryyy!

[chinkstah9683]

FUCK YOU! BAH!

[chilchix]

OMG! talk about...depressing!!!

[nekokaos]

I lol'd. Teh dads face was priceless when he got hit.

[eleniaicia]

7 out of 10... it could be 9 i guess,only if i could understand the language

[Insurancepromoter]

A very touching video of promoting insurance. Its truly reflects that insurance is all about love and shown for each's love ones

[sanjak]

my dad should watch this.

[pooba]

FUCK HE BROKE HIS WATCH

that was a super fuckin asstastic watch too

[sanjak]

this ad is about "Time"

[Nintencrow]

That made me cry for the first time in six months....

[ercpkr]

His son seems to be doing fine on his own. Isn't the point of life insurance to be that your family doesn't go piss broke when the provider dies?

[ShardStrom]

Lol, "This video is hot".

[atkwswu]

funny you say that bcus obviously you had to care enough to click the video biatchhhh OOOOOO SNAPPPPPP

[VengefulRonin]

Damn, if this ad doesn't make people buy life insurance nothing will.

[wasp2020]

holy shit

[LordMoe9]

that truck scared the hell out of me

[KenZomgWtfBbq]

Fucking asian drivers.

[Levesque999]

Exploit my emotions for my money, huh?

[statis]

That's true for everything...

[nimibiantribesman]

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

[colourfillindustries]

The art direction is perfect.

seems they manage the creative brief really well.

thts wht thai ad all about,humor or emotionally touch..you are free to choose.

revolution is here..

[fagbowsa]

i dont get how this can save u ? well then again i dont know what life insurance is ...

[Sal1981]

It's actually something I call industry sarcasm.

[koifishproduction]

that so sad!

[eeyan407]

OMG...

[jonpinney]

test

[Tidde]

Very emotional. Love the scene with the clock.

[csfreak50]

this makes me want to buy life insurance now..

[legendarysim]

This commercial is the best I have ever seen in my opinion. I'm talking in terms in cinema photography. Wonderful effects that emphasize emotion.

[ricksan123]

what the hell....

[dinah66]

I second that.

[diegosjournal]

it´s impressive. I love this spot, and the whole serie of thai insurance. I must say it´s a very strong spot for my country (Perú, southamerica), but i´d like to see something like this in our tv.

[hexenhagane]

(First Part - reposted for correction)

"I wished I had more time."

"Time that I can tell my son."

"That I love him the most."

"More time so I can understand him more."

---conversation : cant find the word to match his expression. Say, he's angry that his son cares more about music, not study

"I want to hear what he wants to say."

[hexenhagane]

(Second Part)

---conversation : "Think you're so good!? Go away!" something like that...

"I want to talk, to hear his music."

"to say I'm sorry."

"Just like I said... I wished I had more time."

"Time that I could do what I hadn't done."

"Time so I can love and care him more."

......Thai life insurance

[IAmPie]

Woah...

Toy with my emotions, will you, Thai Life Insurance?

[hexenhagane]

"I want to talk, to hear his music."

"to say I'm sorry."

"Just like I said... I wished I had more time."

"Time that I could do what I hadn't done."

"Time so I can love and care him more."

......Thai life insurance

[palib]

Its has got a true emotional sense. great

[me0kat]

Such a touching commercial, truly inspiring. Thanks so much for the post, it's great to see thai commercials away from home!

[JinnChaal]

Basically, the father is saying that he wished he had more time with his son. To understand him and stuff like that. Then the last frame says "Thailand Life Insurance"

It totally makes the video if it is in English.

[NSB0953]

btw, could like someone translate the narration? Can't be too hard, right?

[NSB0953]

I love all the people crying in the comments. I also love how bad their engrish is. haha

[illus1]

Why don't you try learning another language before you insult someone else's ability to do so? Idiot.

[rcomon19]

though i don't understand every word, the video says it all... i couldn't stop my tears from falling... i love this... if u like watching touchy ads, try searching for ads from a major telecom network from the Philippines. just search for SMART TELECOM FATHER and SMART TELECOM SON... enjoy!

[tinatoxic]

I hav seen this ads when i went back to thailand.. i was so touching and i was crying like shit! lolz .. well it's all good.. cheerz Thais!

[andrealuca78]

I'm still crying!!!! Poor dad...

This is such a high quality copy... better than many movies they show at cinemas.

I'm so touched... it feels like thai ads can be extremely funny, or devastatingly sad...

Khon Thai ruk krob krua mak qwa khon farang

[90angelface]

hey i resent that! i'm a farang and i ruk krob krua MAKMAK!!

[powerfullogic]

Wow so powerful. I just bought some even though I don't live in Thailand.

[uncocoonable]

*crying* makes me think of my dad

[chinkygrl321]

i agree, all the thai life insurance commercials are extremely sad

[xxxxmoogle]

T___T

[aycee78]

This is the second Thai life insurance ad I've seen, and both are equally gloomy!

[KawaiiTennyo]

all the life insurance commercial in thailand are so sad =*(

[277277]

not really. search for INSURANCE and TWISTER. another ad from same art director and soooo funny.

[metika]

TT_TT

[feet77]

Translation : "I want more time than this Time in which I'll tell my kid that I love him more than anything else in the world I want to use the time to understand him more than this I want to hear the things he wants to say I want to talk to him, I want to hear his music. I want to apologise. The things that I want to say I want more time than this. Time that I can use to do the things I haven't yet done. Time to love and care for him more than this." THAI LIFE INSURANCE

[akegood]

The story line is presented by the voice of dad who need to have more time......

to tell his own son how much he love him

to understand him more

to listen what he want to talk

to listen to his music

to apologise.......

to do things that still did not done

to love and take care him

Ended by the logo of "Thai Life Insurance".
