    On unhappy women and clumsy hitmen

    Life, Kong Rithdee, Published on 19/01/2018

    Cinema paradiso

    Guru, Pasavat Tanskul, Published on 19/01/2018

    » Independent cinemas are few and far between in Thailand. While people are able to enjoy various films in every mall imaginable, those shown in such chains cater to a mass audience.
