Sao Lao

Sabaidee Luang Prabang or Hello Luang Prabang is ready to hit the big screen. Check your local listing to see if you can catch this movie with someone. I hope it will be showing at the Foreign Film Festival here in Rotterdam. I will definitely make a big date out of it.

Episode 1 of Ray Rai Louk Sao Pa with Alexandra Bounxouei, Cee Siwat, and Nam Rapeepat. So far three episodes have been broadcast since Friday 04. We will have to wait till the next Friday for three more installments of this Thai lakorn series. There are mixed feelings to the role of Ray Rai, played by Alexandra Bounxouei but the final verdict is not out.

I have to confess that I have not seen the three episodes because I didn’t like the character of Ray Rai. She’s too annoying to me and it’s not much different from the type of character that I’ve seen in Viva Orawang (something like that) which I only watched a few episodes because the main character was rather annoying. She often fought pa ek or talking back at him, or daring him from the first minute she met him, just like Ray Rai with Thavanh.

I think Alexandra chose the wrong lakorn to play and it doesn’t suit her at all. I don’t expect her to play the role of Champa all the time with being sweet and proper but the role of Pood Mae Nam Khong would have been better for her. It would have been more challenging but more rewarding because the story line is better than Ray Rai Louk Sao Pa. If Alexandra would have spoken Thai in Ray Rai Louk Sao Pa, then it would have made it more enjoyable for me since I am used to hearing a female Thai characters spoke like that before.

To hear a Lao girl talk like that, which I have never met anyone carrying herself in that manner in real life is rather annoying and unbearable. To hear it in Tai Viengchanh accent is what made it annoying (lum khan). I understand the character of Ray Rai with having brought up without a mother. She has a strong personality and sort of like a Tom Boy, but I have never met a Lao Tom Boy that would speak like that. You can be tough without talking and acting like that. So it was a bad role for her and I don’t like to see Alexandra doing the eyes (tha kung) at Thavanh or other characters. I just couldn’t imagine meeting someone that would behave like that and would find it pleasant and wanting to fall in love with if I was a man.

Of course others would not feel the same as me and I don’t expect anyone to agree with me. Please leave the hate message below. Don’t be too harsh on me though. Even though I don’t watch the lakorn, I still leave the recording on while I’m doing something more important like reading my text books. I only have so much time and have committed myself to one Thai drama already, and that is Nang Tad because it makes me laugh and cry.

This part of the clip was already posted in Sen Thang Bun Theung April 05, 2008 post. It was about the hardship Alexandra and Cee had to endure on the set for the shooting of the second episode of Ray Rai Louk Sao Pa Thai lakorn.

Thai TV channel 7 entertainment show, Sen Thang Bun Theung broadcast earlier tonight starting with a coverage of Ray Rai Louk Sao Pa thai lakorn, starring Alexandra Bounxouei and Cee Siwat. The first 6 minutes are nothing but commercials. I didn’t have time to edit the clip so please just click forward to the entertainment part. There was only a minute or so of the discussion about Ray Rai Louk Sao Pa and how Alexadran and Cee had to endure the cold and wet experience on the set. When they showered them with water the ants would be coming down with the leaves. Alexandra had to seek medical help in the first week of the lakorn shooting.

Ending credit from episode 1 of Ray Rai Louk Sao Pa Thai lakorn, posted at Laomusic.la. It has a very nice song by Alexandra Bounxouei. Let’s hope there will be like 10 lakorn songs or more to go along with this drama, just like Pleng Ruk Rim Fang Khong. We just have to wait and see one song at a time.
