Thai documentary series features Vietnam
(VOV) - Thailand’s national TV channel will begin broadcasting a series of documentaries introducing Vietnam’s land and people from February 2.
The series, directed by multitalented Thai artist Naowarat Phongphaiboon, comprises 40 short documentary films lasting 4 minutes each. They will be aired in primetime every Saturday.
The documentaries are part of an agreement signed in 2013 between Vietnam’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism and Thai relevant agencies.
Naowarat Phongphaiboon, who is also a poet, embarked on a ten day tour of northern VIetnam to capture local people’s everyday life.
He said he was impressed by the industry and eagerness of the Vietnamese people he observed. “I admire the glorious tradition and history of the Vietnamese people,” he shared.
The project aims to help Thai audiences deepen their understanding of modern Vietnam’s land and people. The central and southern provinces of Vietnam will also be featured in audio programmes and printed articles.
