Love, Betrayal, and Durian: Monday Thailand’s Ad for EMS Has It All

“Have you ever been someone in love with durian?”

Monday Thailand has launched a funny new ad film to promote Thailand Post’s Express Mail Service (EMS). The 75-second film, produced by Mum Films, is a quirky love story that follows a tap-dancing durian man and a woman who runs an online durian chip shop.

The hitch is that our romantically-minded durian man doesn’t know that her love for him is anything but true as her only aim is to get him all worked up (yes, we noticed the way she caressed his stem) and then pull his prickly durian head off and toss it in the oven to make her durian chips.
