Bro SC, this movie no horse run. I think it made the Pang Brothers famous. Heard that Hollywood had bought the film rights......with Nicolas Cage playing the role of the mute assassin. Cant wait

The plot is lousy, acting is exaggerated more to slapstick and the actors on the whole are creating lame jokes. If its the 1st time one is watching a Thai comedy, maybe can give this a try if one has time to spare.

SC

I think that the jokes were very exaggerating...but different from the comedies we get here for a change...there are few good ones, i like this one too (below)...but mostly spoken in Isaarn so quite difficult to understand.

Yam Yasothon - แหยม ยโสธร

Directed by - Petchtai Wongkamlao

Produced by - Prachya Pinkeaw

Starring - Petchtai Wongkamlao, Janet Khiew

Plot:

The story is set in 1967 Yasothon Province, Thailand, where Yam is a hard-working, humble and kind farmer – kind that is except when it comes to the attentions of Joei, the homely maid of Soy, who is the girlfriend of Yam's cousin, Tong. Yam tends to stray and injured animals of all kinds, but he never has nice things to say to Joei. Despite this, she persists in flirting with Yam and making unwanted physical advances.

Meanwhile, Soy and Tong cuddle, kiss and hug each other at every opportunity.

Soy's aunt, the haughty village moneylender, Dok Toh, disapproves of Soy seeing Tong, whom Dok Toh believes is too low class for her niece. She orders Soy and Joei to stay away from Yam and Tong. The social-climbing Dok Toh additionally arranges for Soy to meet the handsome yet dull son of the local sheriff, who has a pair of slow-witted henchmen who will help enforce Dok Toh's orders that Joei and Soy never again see Yam and Tong.

However, on the night of a village temple fair, Tong and Soy and Yam and Joei sneak away and each couple finds a place to spend the night together. Tong and Soy stay up all night talking about their true feelings for one another, while Joei takes sexual advantage of Yam.

Dok Toh finds out about Joei and Soy's misadventures and arranges to send them away to Bangkok. Soy will attend a trade school, learning English language and secretarial skills while Joei will learn to be a seamstress and hairdresser. With the money earned while she is in Bangkok, Joei transforms herself by creating a new wardrobe and undergoing beauty treatments, including having her skin lightened, a prominent mole removed and her teeth straightened and whitened.

In Joei's absence, Yam begins to long for her, discovering that he had a place for her in his heart after all. Both Soy and Joei write letters to their men, but they hear nothing in return. It turns out that Dok Toh has bribed the postman to deliver letters addressed to Yam and Tong to her, and she in turn dumps the letters into the river.

Joei and Soy determine that their letters aren't getting through, so they write to the abbot at the local Buddhist temple and ask him to deliver their letters to Yam and Tong.

Yam and Tong, meanwhile, strike out on their own and head for Bangkok to try and find the girls. Neither had ever been to the city before, and did not realize how big the capital was. Discouraged by their lack of success, they return home, but through the efforts of the monk, they finally hear from Soy and Joei.

The girls return to Yasothon for Songkran, and Soy is reunited with Tong. Yam is heartbroken when he does not see Joei on the bus. In fact she was on the bus, but because she had drastically changed her appearance, Yam did not recognize her, and showed no interest in Joei when she approached him.

The engagement of Soy and the sheriff's son is still on, though. Tong falls into despair, starts drinking and becomes a hopeless alcoholic. On the day of the engagement ceremony, Tong's father shows up with shotgun to disrupt the proceedings. He points out that Soy does not love the sheriff's son and he demands that Tong be allowed to marry Soy.

As for Yam, he comes around and sees that Joei is the same woman, even if she's changed on the outside

I wonder when they will made "Private Dancer" into a movie

Some Thai Movies that 'sucks', can watch if only have time and extra money on hand.

1) Ghost Delivery by Ananda Everingham --(I watched till I slept) 2/10
2) The Mia by Matinee Kinpoyon -- 3/10 -- Lousy Acting by Big Star Actresses, Lousy Plot
3) Body Guard 2 by Petchtai Wongkamlao --3/10 -- This show is on the same level as Dumber Heroes. Slapstick, lousy plot, exaggerated
4) Chai-Lai Angels --2/10-- Big Star Actresses but again let down by lousy plot delivery and slapstick lame jokes

since you have watched Me, Myself, how about commenting on the character Tan'ya' which was played by Ananda Everingham. Comment properly because after you comment, I will bring in a comment which you posted before on transvestite.

SC

my comments? he was rasied in a queer environment, and accustomed to being the 0 instead of the 1. his guardian also commented that (s)he should've let him choose his life. while another of the "sisters" also remarked that the path was chosen.

by the way, i mentioned transvestite or transexual? there's a difference.
