My favourite Thai films
My list of favourite Thai series is growing unwieldy so going to start moving films to their own. It's also a way of reducing the apples and oranges of misguidedly attempting to rank (because lists) and thus compare movies and series. For the series list, I really want a pyramid instead of a ranked list. For this, it should be a tree. Because how do you compare Low Season with The Library with Dorm? They suit such different moods.
Coming of age well represented because I love good youth films. Horror and comedy horror in part because I was looking for spooky films to recommend to others in hopes some who won't manage to find the time for Thai might do so for Halloween.

Thai series and films, especially those with a ghost, sometimes do something I especially love. I'm going to need to see it a few more times before I'm able to talk coherently about it without giving too much away. Like I need an excuse for that :)
And this was a big box office hit in Thailand?!? I am so living in the wrong country.

![Low Season]()
2. Low Season
Thai Movie - 2020
Goofy Thai humour mixed with perfectly set up jump scare ghosts but never too scary mixed with a sweet friendship/love story, breath-taking tropical forest settings, great music and a female lead who wears glasses.
Keep watching for the behind the scenes too.

This is not a great film. It has no intention or desire to be a great film. It's 82 minutes of low-brow humour and loud ladyboy madness and sometimes that's exactly what you need. Mor lam soundtrack too.
