Inspiring Thai commercial celebrates selfless acts of kindness

It's not often that an ad challenges us to become better versions of ourselves, but this powerful Thai life-insurance commercial is doing just that.

The three-minute spot, called "Unsung Hero," celebrates the power of the anonymous good deed by following one man's daily routine of helping others.

What does he get in return? What money can't buy.

"A world more beautiful."

The ad, which was created by Ogilvy & Mather Bangkok for Thai Life, has been viewed more than 4.9 million times since it was posted to YouTube.

In 2011, Thai Life released another beautiful short film, called "Silence of Love," about a teenage girl's relationship with her deaf and mute father.
