Netflix's US$200 million Thailand bet echoes South Korea's cultural strategy
Netflix is ramping up production of content in Thailand after investing more than US$200 million in the past four years, underscoring the Southeast Asian nation's growing role as a regional hub for production. The world's largest platform has been pumping out original content from Thailand, such as the mystery thriller series Master of the House, helping attract 750 million viewing hours of Thai content in 2024 alone. Netflix is planning to create nine original titles this year, including a zombie-survival film, Ziam. 'We are ramping up local storytelling with local investments. We are also training the next generation of Thai storytellers and crew,' Malobika Banerji, director of content for Southeast Asia at Netflix, said at a briefing on Wednesday. 'This puts us in a unique position in the entertainment industry, not just bringing foreign content and production to Thailand, but enriching the local ecosystem, and we are not slowing down.' Promotion still for the film 'The Lost Lotteries' by Prueksa Amaruji. The comedy, about strangers teaming up to steal winning lottery tickets from a mafia boss, was filmed in Thailand. Photo: Netflix The push aligns with Bangkok's goal to generate 4 trillion baht (US$123 billion) in income and create 20 million jobs in the creative economy, part of a broader strategy to create a new economic engine and diversify away from its tourism-reliant and export-heavy growth model. Thailand is drawing inspiration from South Korea 's cultural playbook, betting on local content that can travel outside the region and host big-budget foreign productions.

'Skibidi', 'tradwife' added to Cambridge dictionary
'Skibidi', 'tradwife' added to Cambridge dictionary The Cambridge Dictionary definition of 'skibidi' acknowledges the difficulty of pinning down a specific meaning to the term. Words popularised by Gen Z and Gen Alpha including "skibidi", "delulu", and "tradwife" are among 6,000 new entries to the online edition of the Cambridge Dictionary over the last year, its publisher said on Monday. Cambridge University Press said tradwife, a portmanteau of traditional wife, reflected "a growing, controversial Instagram and TikTok trend that embraces traditional gender roles". The dictionary also took on the challenge of defining skibidi, a word popularised in online memes, as a term which had "different meanings such as cool or bad, or can be used with no real meaning". The gibberish word was spread by a YouTube channel called "Skibidi Toilet" and is associated with the mindless, "brain rot" content found on social media and consumed by Gen Alpha's overwhelmingly digital lifestyle. The dictionary defined delulu, derived from the word delusional, as "believing things that are not real or true, usually because you choose to". As an example, it cited a 2025 speech in parliament where Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese used the phrase "delulu with no solulu". "It's not every day you get to see words like skibidi and delulu make their way into the Cambridge Dictionary," said Colin McIntosh, Lexical Programme manager at the Cambridge Dictionary. "We only add words where we think they'll have staying power. Internet culture is changing the English language and the effect is fascinating to observe and capture in the Dictionary." Other new phrases include "lewk", used to describe a unique fashion look and popularised by RuPaul's Drag Race, and "inspo", short for inspiration. Work from home culture has given rise to "mouse jiggler", referring to a way to pretend to work when you are not. There is also "forever chemical", man-made chemicals that stay in the environment for years and have gained traction as concerns grow about the irreversible impact of climate change on the health of humans and the plant.
