Prime Video recently announced the release of Comedy Island Thailand, the first Thai original to be available in Thailand and more than 240 countries and territories on the streaming platform. All six episodes are now available to stream.

Comedy Island Thailand follows the story of six actors -- Chutavuth Pattarakampol, Pongsatorn Jongwilas, Kanticha Chumma, Rusameekae Fagerlund, Pattarasaya Kruasuwansiri and Chalermpol Thikamporntheerawong -- who are abducted by two scientists to a mysterious island with the unenviable task of revitalising the spirits of its despondent inhabitants. In exchange for their freedom, our protagonists are forced to perform a series of unscripted improvisational skits for the island's people and raise the gross happiness index to a satisfactory level.

The creative director of Comedy Island Thailand is Mez Tharatorn, who directed some of Thailand's all-time favourite romcoms such as ATM: Er Rak Error, I Fine... Thank You Love You and The Con-Heartist, and the director is Krisada Kanivichaporn of comedy-horror Midnight University and horror series The Collector. It is co-written by Mez, Krisada, Puchong Tuntisungwaragul, Eakasit Thairaat, Patha Thongpan, Aticha Tanthanawigrai, Jarinee Thanomyat and Waneepan Ounphoklang.

Comedy Island Thailand is produced by Liminal Entertainment in conjunction with Malin Films Production. It is produced by Jef Lim, Marilyn Tan and Malin Pongsapipatt.
