Wunderman Thompson Thailand s CCO Park Wannasiri shares his favourite Thai ads from recent months that are packed full of plenty of laughs
For today s High Five we turn to Thailand, where Wunderman Thompson Thailand s chief creative officer Park Wannasiri has picked campaigns that so sum up creativity from the region. Not only are the campaigns hilarious, but they provide perfect pockets of escapism. As Park puts it: “Never before has there been a need for more laughter in our lives.
