Thai Homer Simpson - October 20, 2005
On the evening of October 19, 2005, iTV news carried a wire story about the translation of The Simpsons into Arabic (D'oh! Arabized Simpsons Aren't Getting Many Laughs, WSJ, October 14, 2005) including the detail that the Arabic Homer drinks Coke, not Duff Beef. After the report, the Thai newscasters joked that a Thai Homer could drink Mekong and be a gambler.

The Simpsons in Thailand FAQ

How long has The Simpsons been shown in Thailand?
Since 1994, The Simpsons has aired each Saturday night at 9 pm. In 2001, UBC changed its schedule to make use of deadtime between their commerical-fee shows, and began airing the Simpsons at 8:40pm. In October, 2002, they gave up on this scheduling and switched the Simpsons to 9:00pm. It is then repeated twice on Sunday and then on the following Thursday. After each season, the show is replaced by a season of another animated season (such as King of the Hill, Futurama, or Family Guy) before the next season is shown. The Simpsons appears on a cable network, originally called IBC, which eventually merged with its only competitor and become UBC. The network is commercial free, so there are no interruptions during the show. The network logo always appears in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. See The Simpsons translated into Thai for an example of what the show looks like onscreen.

Contact UBC!!!
Be sure to let UBC programming know you love The Simpsons. Email UBC and the UBC Presenters (also here) or in Bangkok call (02)615-9513.

Why would anyone love an animated show so much?
Read this article-> Confessions of a Simpsons Junkie. It's long, but you only have to read the first part to get the gist of it.

Is the Simpsons dubbed or subtitled in Thailand?
Subtitled. See here for some screenshots.

What's the collecting climate for Simpsons stuff in Thailand?
Sad to say there is not much to buy at all... Chatuchak Market has a few knockoff items like Simpsons wastebaskets and t-shirts, but other than that, I have not found anything. I was hoping that since so much new stuff was being produced in 2000 that something interesting would turn up or perhaps a fast food place would have some premium items, but no dice. By all means, let me know if you find anything!
