Some viewers may see this as a weak story. I, being a frequent visitor to Thailand for more than 15 years now, know better. It is the story of a very poor family, living on a boat in the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok. Husband and wife, sister of the wife and a young child of the couple. The woman is beautiful and wants to have a better life. She leaves her family and meets people who want to bring her into prostitution, by saying she will get a movie career. Meanwhile the husband tries to find her with the "help" of a taxi driver who only wants to make money from the man. This indeed looks like a cheap story, but many people in Bangkok are very poor and these people believe anything if somebody promises a less poor life. Also the part of the taxi driver is taken from real life. The drama is filmed beautifully, completely on location. Thai movies do not show much sex and cruelties. They concentrate on the story. The acting is good to very good. Those who know Thailand should see this movie anyway. Others should see how life of the poor in Thailand is and how the poor are abused by the rich. I find this a brilliant real-life drama. I gave it 9 out of 10.
