"cliffhanger
" dramas, but rather like Hispanic
telenovela
s. A series will run for about three months. It may air two or three episodes a week, the pattern usually being Monday-Tuesday, Wednesday-Thursday or Friday-Sunday. A channel will air three lakorns simultaneously at any given time. Because they attract the most viewers, each channel competes for the most popular stars. While the "best" lakorns are shown at night right after the news, there are ones with smaller profiles (and shorter run time) in the evenings at around 5 to 6 pm. In some cases, primetime lakorns are also shown on re-runs a couple of years after their initial release, in the afternoon. Lakorns are broadcast on channel 3
, 5
and 7 in the same time of broadcasting.

of Thai society, usually through the male lead, but sometimes from both leads. The male lead is usually rich, like Phak in Dao pra sook
. Early on, the male leads were nobility
, usually junior princes, such as a Mom Chao, because, back then, these were the rich people in Thai society. The rich male has since evolved into businessmen from influential families. This change mirrors the change in Thai society with the upper class now filled with business people and not so much from the royal and noble classes.
s. Romance abounds in Thai literature scenes and most have the perfect boy-meets-girl scenario. The ever famous, Dao pra sook

as dara (stars), are usually cast in the same roles over and over again. An actress who plays the lead female would assume the same role.
Suvanant Kongying
from still plays the female lead. The same goes for other roles, such as the friend of the main leads, the bad characters, the servant characters, the mother characters, etc. An "upgrade" or "downgrade" does occur, such as when a female lead assumes the role of the mother, but is quite rare. Num Sornram Theppitak still plays the leading male character. Kob Suvanant Kongying and Num Sornram Theppitak were the highest paid lakorn actress and actor in Thailand in the 90's. However in the past 10 ears a new actress has reigned as highest paid in Thailand, Pachrapa Chaichua
of Ch. 7 and Ann Thongprasom
of Ch. 3.
This trend causes a lot of problems for the daras in the leading roles as they age, especially for actresses. Thai audiences seems to like their leads young and beautiful and many past female daras have disappeared from the screen once they reach the age of 30 or so. A few defy this norm, such as Marsha Wattanapanich
, and even then, she is gradually disappearing. Her latest lakorn was 2002's Baung Ban Ja Torn (The Enchanted Bed), which became top rated.
This problem is not as bad for actors, as can be seen in the prolific career of veteran actor Chatchai Plengpanich
. His wife, the once famous Sinjai Plengpanich
, has all but disappeared, except for the few commercials seen in primetime.
Among the younger crowd are leading actress's such as Kwan Usamanee and Pancake Khemanit who have continued to grab ratings despite their Ongoing Feud Both Kwan and Pancake have come out numerous of times to deny that there is any feuding, but actions prove otherwise. Due to their improper behavior it is rumored that executive's for Ch. 7 such as Khun Daeng has called both girls in to be disciplined. Both Kwan and Pancake although are young have been given high spotlight due to their feuds and their romantic links to other celebrities such as Golf, a famous singer from the duo better known as Golf Mike. Kwan and Golf have both come out to deny that there was anything more serious than friendship, but there were many reports of Kwan crying once she saw Golf with new sweetheart Ploy Chermarn
. All have been proven to be false. Pancake has been linked to romantic interests such as leading actor Weir Sukollwat Pra'ek best known from his role in the lakorn Pleng Ruk Rim Farng Korng.
On Thai TV, Chinese, Japanese, American and Indian films are broadcasted. No sex on Thai TV but often some bloody sequences.
Some Lakorn are subject to a rating. Most of BBTV Channel 7
programs are usually rated as G-18 (children under 18 should seek parental guidance).

The negative influence of Lakorn
Because Lakorn present a melodramatic storyline featuring simple one-dimensional characterizations to capture the broadest viewership and commercial sponsorship, they generally do not foster critical insight, reasoning or problem-solving skills, nor a multi-perspective consideration of the human drama being viewed. They are simply an attempt to create dramatic tension and a "showdown" between the protagonist(s) and antagonist(s). Several Lakorn adhere to this simple format which, over an extended period, may cause some viewers to develop a skewed view of reality. At least one critic contends that the recent political problems in Thailand may be at least partially attributable to the negative influence of Lakorn, surmising that it is the disregard of common sense and common human wisdom that causes people to shy away from thinking critically, and as a result, becoming prone to manipulation.In year 2008, Thai Airways flight attendants urged the government to remove a prime-time TV drama ("Songkhram Nang Fah") because it showed stewardesses wearing short skirts fighting while in uniform over a male pilot. They complained the soap opera portrayed hostesses in a negative light.
