2. BKPP
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.

3. 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.

6. Kao Waan Hai Noo Pen Sai Lub
Thai Drama - 2019, 18 episodes
This remake is the perfect Thai rom-com. It features the female lead as a spy in a fake marraiage with a police officer and all sorts of entertaining hijinks. Definitely one of the better offerings from the Thai drama landscape in 2019.

8. Mon Ruk Nong Pak Ka Yan
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. 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.

10. Wiwa Fah Laep
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.
