» Environmental enthusiasts might be caught by surprise. By The River (Sai Nam Tid Chua) is a documentary film based on the toxic poisoning at Klity village in Kanchanaburi province, but it’s not a “green” film in the conventional sense.

Book launch

» MARKET: There will be another Noise Market over the weekend (May 10-11). Slightly strange timing since it has started raining, but the show will go on. They’re promising an “Indie Craft Fair, Art, DIY, Workshop, Street Music Festival”, and there will be this and plenty more, judging from the last one which went down well. There are 40 bands on the line up to lay the soundtrack over the market, which has 40 official sellers. Venue is Museum Siam (4 Sanam Chai Road, fb.com/museumsiamfan), with a start time of 2pm. Free entry.
