13 Beloved
13 Beloved 2007

13 is a new and very secret competition offering a grand prize of 100 million Baht. The contestants are chosen from those most afflicted with problems involving work, money, family and love. If they can complete 13 tasks, they'll receive riches beyond their wildest dreams.

But there's a catch...the challenges will test them in every aspect of their lives from love to religion and even moral values. They may seem undemanding when they start but as they progress they become increasingly more intense until finally, they reach a stage where they are no longer sure if they are human anymore.

As with every game there are rules and these rules must be obeyed at all times. If they fail even one of the tasks, they will be dismissed from the game. The rules prohibit them from giving up, from telling anyone else that they are playing and from investigating the origin of the game. A man named "Phuchit" is delighted to be offered the chance to compete, little realizing that it will cost him his friends, his family, his sanity and perhaps even his life...

Directed by Chookiat Saveerakul - starring Krissada Sukoso

Metrosexual - comedy 2006

Directed by Yongyoot Thongkongtoon

Starring - Meesuke Jangmeesuke, Kulnudd Pachimsawat and Patcharari Benjamas

"Just how many men notice when their girlfriend is sad, can go shopping with her without getting bored, and enjoys cooking for her?" With this list of reasons, Pang announces to all her girlfriends, she is getting married to a guy she has been dating for less than 6 months.

They can't believe this kind of perfection can be for real. Pang's four friends come together in their sisterly concern and natural nosiness.

They set out on a mission to prove the groom is exactly what he is claiming to be - "just metrosexual," and not a closeted gay man trying to fool the world by getting married to their friend. The wedding date draws closer and closer, and the girls still suspect something pink about  Pang's intended husband.

They set out to investigate his background, before the wedding.
