Explore Thailand, one postcard at a time

Short films that take your class from ancient kingdoms to wild forests and living legends — each with ready-to-use activities and printable worksheets.

More than a country — a way of seeing. Thailand is the subject, but the real lesson is how to explore any place and culture: to look closely, ask good questions, and notice whose story gets told. Each film builds the curiosity and critical thinking at the heart of KS2 and KS3.

Our approach

Every script in these films is fact-checked and designed to draw children into critical thinking — not just to deliver facts, but to invite them to weigh evidence, question stories, and think for themselves.

Our young presenter, Ashley, is part of that process. He is actively involved in asking the questions and shaping the narratives — so the curiosity you see on screen is real.

For teachers

Thailand is the doorway, not the destination. These films help pupils build a transferable way of understanding any place and culture — reading a landscape, weighing evidence, and asking whose perspective is missing. They slot into geography, history, and RE at Key Stages 2 and 3, and work on an interactive whiteboard, on pupils' own devices, or on paper.
