If you’re one of the advanced Thai learners who can understand most things said in Thai and are looking to practice listening by watching something spoken in Thai with Thai subtitles, we have an interesting show to recommend!
There is a Thai talk show called “Club Friday.” It’s one of those shows where the hosts interview a celebrity guest but the main topic of the talk is always relationships since the two female hosts are known by the Thais as “love experts.” If this sounds like something that would interest you, simply go to Youtube and look for “Club Friday Show.” You should see a lot of results coming up.
Every episode of the show comes with Thai subtitles so it will be a great chance for you to practice listening to real Thai. It’s definitely better than watching a movie with English subtitles which often distract you from listening to Thai.
Below is one of the episodes available on Youtube.

This is perfect. Just what I was looking for. I can read Thai, but when people speak Thai, I don’t understand so much. This will help me to resolve what is actually being spoken.

Hello,
Thank you very much. I really have liked your Thai Podcasts. I bought both the intermediate and advanced podcasts and have found them to be very useful.
And, Club Friday is a great show as you suggested.
Are there other programs or news etc with Thai subtitles that you would recommend?
Thank you.

Dear khun Prem, there are a few TV shows with subtitles provided but the only one other than Club Friday show that we can think of now is “ตีท้ายครัว.” If you keep looking for Thai TV shows on Youtube, I’m sure you’ll find more.
