Why bother to make a movie about a Thailand topic and then have IN THAILAND a "limited release" and have it "on screen not for long"??? This is better than Monty Python... Perhaps planned by the "Ministry of Silly Releases" ?

Seen this on Germany television a while ago. Worth a look but then again I find Thai movies much better in this regard.
