Hmm maybe TV was an inappropriate abbreviation considering...
First you have to understand that Thailand doesn't allow anything overtly sexual on television - all stars in even the most salacious soap opera are fully clothed and any sex is very remotely hinted at - the following was an amazing departure (in my mind) from the normal:
Late night Thai television ad for something approaching the Thai version of Viagra - presumably herbal.
Cute girl in bed - man who actually looked old enough to be her father - comes into bedroom - she looks appealingly at him (in that Thai girl way) -he looks concerned and looks down at his crotch and shakes his head.
Mysteriously they are now in Muay Thai (boxing)ring in shorts and t-shirts with boxing gloves - big ones not Muay Thai ones.
She beckons with one glove in a bring-it-on manner.
He shuffles forward but is unable to raise his arms - significant do you think?
She repeatedly punches him in the head.
Still he offers no action.
She delivers a straight leg kick to the groin - he goes down (no - not in that way).
His cornerman is yelling at him = pulls out a package that looks just like the Viagra and Cialis they sell on the street to us "old" farang (as far as you know).
He pulls out a pill and flicks it across the ring right into the dude's mouth.
He immediately jumps up - adopts a combative pose and charges at the girl.
We hear a scream from her.
Next frame we see her snuggled in bed with a post-orgasmic glow on her face and the guy is asleep next to her.
Sure beats having a NASCAR car emblazoned with "Viagra".
Only on late night TV I am sure.
Thought you would enjoy this example of how Thailand is changing but yet not quite.

Think of the economic crisis they'd have if the local men could take care of all those beautiful Thai women!
