4. 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.

5. 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 marriage with a police officer and all sorts of entertaining hijinks. Definitely one of the better offerings from the Thai drama landscape in 2019.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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!
-
9. Flash Marriage
Thai Drama - 2022, 17 episodes
A rom-com that has lots of laughs and chemistry.
The leads get into a contract relationship after a one night stand. The male lead is one of the better written ones in Thai TV.

10. To the Moon and Back
Thai Drama - 2023, 21 episodes
Ok, Mata and Penneung were so adorable and lovely to watch as they went from neighbors to lovers. Chai put in an amazing performance as Mata's father. Lots of humor and heart in this drama.
It's also lovely to watch such positivity and sunny vibes from this series.

11. Rivalry
Thai Drama - 2022, 20 episodes
Business rivals turn lovers. However, the chemistry between Alek and Nycha was so lovely and sparky. Pop may have stolen my heart with his role though. A lovely watch.
