A really authentic and honest "documentary..
Especially Nit (the Thai woman - obviously from Isan - interviewed on the beach) provides interesting and seemingly honest "background info".

It's filmed in Lamai (Koh Samui) and Had Rin (Koh Phang Ngan). I cannot recognize Had Rin. When I was there (which year that was shall remain undisclosed), there was no electricity and almost no people. Backpakers stayed in simple huts, played guitar around bon fires on beach, and chilled.
I'm always surprised how foolish Western men becomes in Thailand. They fall in love without understanding the socio-cultural and economic background of the women. They think they are loved back ... fools !
The Thai intro-song is an old (1995) hit .. one of my all-time favorites. It is a very romantic song about how difficult it is meeting the right man and now that she's finally found him, she's telling him how much she loves him .. .sung by Tata Young (a British father, Isan mother).
