My friend Chris (a big sap) shared this tv commercial from TVC Thai Life Insurance.
Lovely message. Kindness is its own reward.

I love the tag line at the end – Believe in Good. I think that says it all 🙂

OMG, I got all misty eyed when the girl came in school clothes — it was downhill from there. I love this kind of stuff. And Thai people seem to make great commercials. Have you seen the one with kids asking for cigarettes?

That’s a great video, Steve. Lovely message indeed. I first saw it a couple of months ago I think, and have enjoyed watching it again here. Thanks for posting!

First saw this one roughly six months back, and loved it then. I love it still, even though I know it was made by an insurance agency !!! Can you see and western insurance agency making an ad like this with the slightest, faintest, teeniest credibility ?
Thought not …

Oh my hell, for some reason the Thai people are SO GOOD at making commercials that just wreck me. Try this one and this one too.
Just watching the beginnings now reduce me to a puddle of tears.

I’m not sure about selling life insurance — but they could move a whole lot of Kleenex!

There’s no time for tissues when you start the ugly cry!!! It’s nice that they inspire such humanity though. I feel like “Kindness is its own reward” is pretty plausible, but “No father is perfect, but all fathers love perfectly” far less so. But it’s such a sweetly executed message in the commercial that I just want to believe it!
