Thai Channel 8 Live Stream

Channel 8 is one of Thailand's national free-to-air broadcasters, working from Bangkok and carrying drama, variety and news.

Thai entertainment television

The schedule is built on the formats that define Thai television: prime-time lakorn drama series, variety and game shows, talk programmes and bulletins from the channel's own newsroom.

Lakorn

Lakorn are Thailand's serial dramas, usually broadcast in the evening in runs of a dozen or more episodes, and they set the country's viewing habits. The biggest ones make their leads national figures, and their soundtracks and costumes travel into advertising and music.

Thailand's television market

Thailand's digital switchover in the 2010s opened the market to new national channels alongside the analogue-era broadcasters, and satellite and online services added further competition. Advertising still concentrates on prime-time drama and variety rather than on news.

Distribution

The channel broadcasts on Thai terrestrial and satellite platforms and streams through its own site, reaching viewers at home and the Thai communities abroad.
