Ong Bak<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ve probably already seen this film, as it was released around the world. It\u2019s an action film with your typical simple\/limited plot. That said, the action is of the style that made Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, and Jet Li famous. But I\u2019d say it\u2019s even better. The typical action scene of an ordinary action movie consists of ultra-closeups, changing views in the middle of a strike, and various other annoying\/dizzying trickery. With Ong Bak, however, the action goes into slo-mo, with clear full screen shots of the action. It\u2019s much more convincing and realistic.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Ong Bak (2003) trailer\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nAYUv9wjV48?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Carrying the same general theme, <strong>Ong Bak 2<\/strong> was almost just as good, trading in the fists and kicks of the original to various martial arts weapons.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=hIVOv1JQgsk\">http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=hIVOv1JQgsk<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Faen Chan \u0e41\u0e1f\u0e19\u0e09\u0e31\u0e19 (My Girlfriend)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This story is about a boy and a girl who are somewhere between girlfriend-boyfriend and just friends. They are still at the age where boys think girls have cooties and girls just haven\u2019t \u2018discovered\u2019 boys yet. It\u2019s a cute, somewhat serious comedy that all Thais will know. A++ on the plot. Jeaaabbbbb!!!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Shutter<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Shutter is an original Thai ghost movie, later remade as a western mini-series that probably sucked (I don\u2019t like western remakes of Asian films, so I didn\u2019t watch it). I\u2019m the type of guy that doesn\u2019t get scared watching a movie, and this film was no exception. That said, Thais will wizz their pants watching this \u2013 it\u2019s that scary for them. The plot is pretty good, and I\u2019ve seen it at least 3 times and still enjoyed it. If you know a Thai girl that likes ghost movies, invite her over and watch it together. You won\u2019t be disappointed (wink wink).<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Shutter (Trailer - ENG)\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Nwy8QSQliGk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Macabre Case Of Prom Pi Ram<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The unfortunate aspect of this film is that it is a true story. I won\u2019t say much as I don\u2019t want to spoil the film, but I\u2019d recommend watching it for the same reason as Mon Rak Transistor \u2013 it dives deep into Thai culture, albeit a more negative aspect of it. This isn\u2019t an uplifting story, but it\u2019s one that you will definitely be emotionally moved by. I couldn\u2019t find a trailer for you, and it\u2019s probably good as any trailer would ruin the experience.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.koreanfilm.org\/piff04-5.gif\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<img width=\"177\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/thai\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/21\/2011\/06\/piff04-5.gif\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image tmp-hide-img\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><p>A list of the top 10 Thai Movies for Farang.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":59,"featured_media":2926,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":""},"categories":[3,178],"tags":[49721],"class_list":["post-618","post","type-post","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-culture","category-history","tag-top-10-thai-movies"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/thai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/618","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/thai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/thai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/thai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/59"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/thai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=618"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/thai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/618\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1966,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/thai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/618\/revisions\/1966"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/thai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2926"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/thai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=618"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/thai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=618"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/thai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=618"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
