Thai dramas and films that I would recommend.

1. 3 Will Be Free
Thai Drama - 2019, 10 episodes
This Thai series stands apart for its interesting characters, action filled sequences, and polyamory.

2. Flash Marriage
Thai Drama - 2022, 17 episodes
A rom-com that has lots of laughs and chemistry.

3. Girl Next Room: Richy Rich
Thai Drama - 2020, 5 episodes
The pairing of Mild and Off is epic and hilarious. Indescribably funny and quirky, this series felt way too short.

4. Heart Attack
Thai Movie - 2015
A moving depiction of the need for balance in the modern age and the ills of work culture. Lovely cinematography and acting. The two leads are so pretty.

5. I Told Sunset about You
Thai Drama - 2020, 5 episodes
Stunning cinematography and production value. Compelling acting across the board. This coming-of-age drama explores friendship, family, and the intensity of love. The soundtrack is also great.
I appreciate the screenwriters for weaving together the complex characters and the actors for their delivery. This drama also offers insight into Thai-Chinese culture and highlights the beauty/meaning of Chinese language characters.

7. My Secret Bride
Thai Drama - 2019, 18 episodes
This remake is the perfect Thai rom-com. It features the female lead as a spy in a fake marraiage with a police officer and all sorts of entertaining hijinks. Definitely one of the better offerings from the Thai drama landscape in 2019.

8. Pee Mak
Thai Movie - 2013
A black comedy at its finest with a lot of heart. Mario is fantastic as the male lead and Mai Davika is stunning, even with black teeth. More funny than scary.
-
9. To Me, It's Simply You
Thai Drama - 2021, 13 episodes
A humorous and moving depiction of life in Northeastern Thailand with a focus on village life and organic farming. I loved learning about Isaan culture and the drama was overall funny and moving. I did not know Nadech could be so campy!
