The Cheapest Media in the World No media stays with us ever longer than a calen- dar. It is a vehicle that carries a “message” which can be supplemented with details and divided into 12 parts. The calendar owner is reminded of that mes- sage for 365 days. Nowadays, most people still don’t realize that calendars are very powerful media, whether they are hung on the wall or sit on the desk. Calen- dars catch our eyes from time to time because we just need to look at them to find out the dates and plan our life accordingly. What come together with the days and months on a calendar are the stories or the message that finds its own way to communicate to us. Many times the message itself is one of the selling points, for people enjoy reading interested information or looking at spectacular pictures as they flip through a calendar. And there are also uncountable times that calendars carry a message from within an organization to the people outside. Therefore, a calendar today is not just a tool that tells us days and months, but is also one of the main media that organizations use to communi- cate with the society.
“Boon Rawd” or the brand that people know as “Singha” is an organization that has been with Thailand for a considerably long time. One can even say it is a symbol of Thai consuming society. Boon Rawd has been a part of many social activities, arts, cultural events, concerts and sports. Therefore, the brand is deeply rooted in Thai society and most people are definitely aware of it. One day, Boon Rawd decided to produce its own calendar to help promote Thai traditional high-skill crafts under the patronage of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit, in order to support and conserve Thai art and culture as well as promote the skill of Thai craftsmanship. The calendars were boldly published without any awkward feelings from the fact that it has nothing to practically do with the brand, instead, this message sent through them reflects the true identity of Boon Rawd Brewery.

“Thinking calendar” can really make you think.

Since “Koon” or Prabda Yoon was the script writer of this film, the critics said that the movie is what you get when two most innovative artists of Thailand, one boy and one man, work together. It is a thought-provoking film that leaves questions in the audience’s mind. The most interest thing is that ten people may get ten different answers after watching.
