Apple has pulled the ad. Too much negative feedback from Thailand.
"Apple has apologised and withdrawn the latest ad in its "Underdogs" series, following significant backlash in Thailand. The tech giant's fifth instalment, meant to highlight Thai culture positively, instead sparked controversy, prompting the company to halt its distribution."

The Thai twitterati should have sued while they had the chance, rather than simply accuse, "Apple of making Thais look terrible in the eyes of the world."

I wonder if Apple will revisit and make another episode that portrays Thailand as an "extremely modern" country that's chock-full of savvy netizens using "Samsung foldable phones."
