This heart-wrenching new ad from Thailand will leave you crying in a puddle of your own tears

What is up with Thai ads? They are like sob fest takes the tearjerker express. Tissue box heaven on planet Kleenex. Snotting everywhere with a side of cry myself to sleep.

Or the one about the mother of every sad child.

And the one with the mute dad is just. I can't.
