Love Destiny - 5 must watch Thai movies

This is not actually a movie, it’s a historic drama with 16 episodes but it’s worth mentioning because at the time when the movie was screening its final episode there was literally no cars on the street because everybody stayed home waiting in front of their TV. This drama is loved by Thai people and foreigners alike.

It’s a historic drama meaning, yes, the language used contains many things that are not used nowadays in spoken Thai. But listen, the main character, Karaked, was transported back to the Ayutthaya era due to a car accident. She, just like us, is from this era we are in and she also has trouble fitting in and adapting to the language of that epoch. Here, you as Thai learners can really benefit from Thai culture and rich languages of the past and the clash with the culture and languages of today’s Thai. Seems interesting right? Go check it out.
