I am very pleased.
Today, the four of us...
are finally together.
Dad, I want to see Lin Bing the panda.
Well son,
let's go today.
We'll go as a family.
I want to sleep.
Please, please.
Let's go, Nan. Please, please.
LADDA LAND
Wow!
You like it?
Yes.
Mom, let's go look inside.
Hold on, let's take a picture.
Might as well pay off the mortgage.
Like it?
Your father did it all by himself.
Lovely, your house faces the hill.
You can't find this view anywhere in Bangkok.
Mom, do you know what Bangkok has?
My grandma, my school, my friends.
You're not the only one who had to give up everything.
How many times have I told you I don't want to, but you dragged me all the way here.
What's the point of walking into my life now?
He was doing fine without me.
Ben 10!
Wow, Power Rangers!
Dad, why is that thing following you?
Oh, that. It follows us wherever we go.
Do you know what it's called?
It's called... the Magic Eye.
Idiot.
It's called a motion sensor.
All the new AC's have this feature.
If it isn't Magic Eye,
how does it know where we are?
If you want to be an idiot, be my guest.
Stop it both of you. Don't argue at the dinner table.
I'm very happy that the four of us...
Hello, Grandma!
Oh, I was busy unpacking when you called.
The house is okay.
Just an ordinary housing project.
The resale value is low.
You've got a TV in your room?
I wish we could afford a TV.
Nan, don't talk on the phone during dinner.
Right, my teacher said that talking on the phone while eating...
is very rude!
Your teacher didn't teach you that while someone is talking...
don't interrupt!
Nan, speak nicely to your brother.
Why are you laughing? I wanted to surprise you.
All right, I'm sorry.
Then let me open this.
Put down the glasses first.
Oh, I forgot.
Do you need help?
It's OK, just stay right there.
Charming.
Damn it.
Water! Water!
Shit.
Wait!
Hurry!
Just moved into the house and instead of making merit (Buddhist good deed),
we have a bottle of wine and nearly burn down our house. Who will do the cleaning?
Don't worry, the maid will take care of it.
While you were picking the kids up.
I hired a Burmese maid.
She's a hard worker.
Try to save as much money as you can.
Your salary is 60,000 baht a month, and the mortgage is 30,000 baht.
Don't worry, Parn.
Don't forget that I get an extra pay.
Yoi told me it's at least 20,000 baht.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have moved all the way here.
To be fair, the benefit of working in our company...
equals a steady life for the rest of your lives.
Look at Mr. Thee, my assistant.
He used to work at Thai Air in Bangkok.
His dream and, like everyone else, was to have his own house.
He worked there for 14 years. 14 years.
But that company couldn't make his dream come true.
But within just 3 months.
In just 3 months after deciding to move to our branch...
do you want to know what he achieved last month?
Mr. Thee, would you please tell everyone, what you achieved last month.
I bought a house.
Bought a house! Wow!
Mom.
Why are my grandchildren using public transport?
I bought you a car to drive and pick them up from school.
Not for your husband!
I've helped you look after Nan for 10 years.
I've never let her use public transport.
Mom, your grandchild is my child.
Nan is 14 years old.
Even younger kids use public transport.
You don't have to defend your husband.
I'm not defending him,
but you should be reasonable.
He just bought an house and you didn't even give him a compliment.
Besides, I don't have to work like I used to.
Why would I give him a compliment on something he should have done?
I have to go, I need to buy some groceries.
Go ahead, you have to catch the bus.
If you're late you'll be under fire.
I know.
Shoo!
You always said I spoiled the kids. What about you?
Interest free installments, a special offer at the mall.
Don't worry, we can afford it.
Nat was clamoring to buy one.
Whose cat took a shit here?
So it was you.
Thee!
What's going on?!
Can I help you?
I'm sorry...
Your cat took a dump in front of my house.
Oh, my cat did it?
I'm sorry, let me handle it.
Nit!
It's okay, it's not a big deal.
Don't worry. My name is Somkiat.
I had business in Bangkok for a month, so I didn't have a chance to introduce myself
I'm Thee. This my wife, Parn.
Hello.
Our cat shit in their front yard. Get a broom and go clean it up.
I'm sorry, I'll go clean it up right away.
Don't, I'll clean it later.
Don't worry, I'll do it.
Clean the shoe too.
Please excuse me.
Somkiat's family seems weird.
Don't get into their business, Parn.
Nong?
Hey, have you reconsidered my offer?
Nong?
Really mom, she has a crush on me! Really.
And why is that?
Maybe it's because I'm handsome.
Oh really? All right Mr. Handsome.
There's a lot of policemen, let's check what happened.
All right. Nat, don't run.
No one lives here.
The owner is foreigner who used to live here a long time ago,
and comes to visit once every new year.
Then what about the victim? When was the last time you saw her?
It's been several days,
but today I saw the gate's lock broken,
so I decided to call the police.
Mom, can you carry me?
Mom, what are they doing?
Oh, uh... they're filming a movie.
Sir, the back door is broken in.
I'll go investigate.
Be careful.
Sir, it's messy in here, looks like there was a struggle.
It smells so bad in here.
What the fuck!
What happened?
There's a female corpse in the fridge.
Her face... it's completely dissolved.
On this ongoing case,
the police have investigated house number 8 of Ladda Land,
located in Chang Puak district in Chang Mai.
After an investigation,
the police have found the remains of a 20 year-old Burmese woman.
According to the source, she was physically abused with a long object.
The area on her face was dissolved with acid.
The killer proceeded to put her into the fridge.
The police suggested that the killer must have known the victim,
and the motive for the murder was started by an affair.
Thee, there was a murder in our neighborhood.
The victim was the Burmese maid you mentioned.
This can't be.
Why?
It's nothing.
Does Nan know?
No.
Good, don't tell her.
Otherwise, she'll tell your mother.
It's bad to have something like this happen in the neighborhood.
It's normal. People die in every neighborhood. We just don't hear about it.
Parn, take her back to her room.
Back to your room.
Let me go!
Makin!
Let me go!
Makin!
Let me go!
She's here!
Let me go!
Someone was killed in our neighborhood.
Why didn't you tell me?
Have you heard that her husband sold the house?
Yes, I heard Makin used to work at his house.
Everyone who had hired Makin have moved away.
No one would live in their house knowing someone who died used to work there.
Everyone, please join hands.
Let us pray for those who rest in peace.
I almost hired her to clean our house.
Fortunately, I didn't hire her.
Otherwise, it'd be horrible.
Do you remember the maid you mentioned?
She left a long time ago.
Stop listening to that nonsense.
Are the children asleep?
Nat went to bed,
but Nan is still out.
She called this evening and said she'll study at her friend's place.
We just moved and now she starts coming home late?
You should look after her more.
What's the problem?
There's a woman standing on the road.
I nearly ran her over.
Thankfully, I stopped my car.
Nong?
Nong, are you alright?
Shit!
You should go to sleep,
she called earlier and said she's nearly done. Her friend will drop her off.
I'll finish my work downstairs.
Nan.
Come on.
Thee!
No, I don't think anything is stolen.
I came down on time.
Yes.
Yes, in Ladda Land.
Thank you.
What happened?
Who brought you home?
A friend.
Girl or boy?
Just a friend, does it matter if it was a guy or girl?
Why so late?
I've already told mom.
I know!
What kind of assignment has to be done till 1 AM?
An assignment that wasn't finished.
If it was, I would've come home earlier.
Don't you think I'm tired?
I have to get up early for school.
Nan!
Let me talk to her.
Hey! You should be careful where you point a gun!
But the gun is empty.
It's called a gun for a reason.
If you want to play with it, you should be careful.
I wanted one for protection.
A burglar broke into my house.
Why are you spending all my money?
Ever thought of helping make a living?
I'm trying my best to look for customers for my clothing.
Clothing? You call this help?
It's still not enough to feed our son.
Things we own and eat are bought with my money!
Ever thought of that?!
Maybe you should stop buying those expensive toys for our son...
Don't you dare tell me what to do!
Cat!
Stop!
To be honest, it's good to let the kids play with each other.
That'll give us time to rest.
So how's your mother-in-law?
Oh, same as before.
However, this time her condition has gotten worse.
So the doctor suggested my husband take her for a check up in Bangkok.
Aren't you scared of staying at home with just two, you and Golf?
What can I do?
Well, anyway. Whenever you're free or when your husband's out of town,
you can come around here.
Dad, the cat is our little spy.
It has a camera attached to it's collar.
My dad said it's currently a hot item in Bangkok.
Dad, we want to see the pictures.
Dad, hurry.
The laptop's upstairs.
Nat, don't run up the stairs, you'll trip.
Parn...
I have a request...
Let's see, where did it travel?
Look! It's the pond!
This is the pond next to our neighborhood.
Only photographed feet.
It took a picture of me too.
There's my feet and there's Golf's feet.
Look at this kids.
Anything wrong?
Oh, why did you stop it?
Well, they stopped.
Hey! What are you doing? Let's just go.
Is this the house where someone was killed?
Well can't you see? It's got yellow tape.
Just like in the movies.
Let's check it out.
Are you crazy? Why do you even want to go in?
Oh come on, let's go in. It's exciting.
No, it'll take too long.
My dad yelled at me last time.
You're that scared of your dad?
You guys go ahead, I'll stay.
I don't want to climb wearing a skirt.
Whatever.
What?
Stop! I'm just messing with you guys.
You bitch!
Let's go!
Are you okay?
Beep.
Don't go in.
It won't be long.
Sorry, the number you dialed...
Beep.
That's not funny!
Are you scared?
You said you didn't want to come, so why are you here?
You're so cool.
Hey! What are you doing?
Open the door!
Mai?
Beep?
Nan.
Nan, stop!
Nan, I told you to stop!
I said stop!
Do you hear me?!
Nan, open the door!
Thee!
Nan!
Thee, calm down!
I said open the door!
Open the door...
Mmm... what's going on, mom?
Nothing, go back to bed.
What were you doing last night?
I saw a ghost last night.
I asked what were you doing last night?
It's true! Last night me and my friends went into the haunted house,
and a shadow walked past...
If you can't think of a better excuse,
then get out!
Don't cry. Keep eating.
Keep it to yourself mom, there's a lot going on here.
My granddaughter was haunted by a ghost, who's going to be responsible for this?
Mom, Nan is lying.
She said he was going to do her assignment with her friends, but she didn't.
But that doesn't mean she lied about being haunted by a ghost.
Honestly, do you think she would lie about such a thing?
So now you're going to blame everything on Thee?
Well, since he's the head of the family,
he has to take responsibility.
If he didn't get you pregnant,
I would have never let you two get married.
Mom...
If your father was still alive...
Would you just stop comparing him with dad?
Dad died a long time ago.
And let me tell you one thing,
even if he was still alive,
no matter how much he hated Thee,
he would never try to make my daughter hate her own dad.
You're selfish for putting your children in such a position.
So how it's going with the new house? Bet your wife and kids are happy.
Yeah, good enough.
Oh yeah, before I forget,
our company has announced that they will delay this month's paycheck.
Oh come on, don't be surprised.
It's kind of our fault since we didn't do our job as the Bangkok branch expected.
So it slowed down the progress.
Don't worry about it,
it has happened to me before.
During that 3 months,
I was stressed out and wondered when would I get my paycheck.
But the money finally came flooding in.
The compensation is huge.
So I'm happy whenever the company tells me the paycheck will be delayed.
Don't worry too much. There's always a rainbow after the storm.
I think I'll cancel Nan's Blackberry plan.
How can a high school student spend over 1,000 baht on a phone.
I told you not get it for her, but you didn't listen.
Is she asleep? I'll have a talk with her.
She's doing her assignment at her friend's dorm.
She may be home late.
What? She's out again?
Did she not hear a single word I said?
You know she's stubborn, the more you try to stop her, the more she disobeys.
Stubborn just like your mother.
I'm glad that I didn't let her take care of Nat.
I'm sorry... I've said too much.
Where does her friend live?
So tell me, what exactly did you see the other day?
I didn't see anything.
But when I heard Mai scream,
I took off running.
And left me.
Could it be that Mai tricked us?
That can't be,
because she looked like she was scared of something.
Nan!
You're just a kid, what were you doing with that boy?
I was just playing.
How could you do that? Do you know how embarrassed I was?
Embarrassed?
You weren't so embarrassed a minute ago.
Didn't your grandma teach you about this?
Of course. She taught me everything. You're the one who was never there.
If you can't look after your own child, don't bother to have one next time.
We still need to talk about what happened last time,
and now you're giving me this kind of attitude?
You never listen when I talk to you nicely.
When I told you I saw a ghost,
you weren't even worried about me, you just yelled.
Because you lied!
I didn't lie!
Our neighborhood is haunted.
Do not say such silly things.
It's not silly. Our neighborhood is haunted.
Everyone knows about it.
Shut up!
You're the only one who's in denial.
The neighborhood is haunted. It's haunted.
Shut up. I've told you it's not haunted.
It's haunted.
It's not!
It's haunted. The neighborhood is haunted.
It's haunted!
What are you doing?
Let me go!
Are you coming?
I won't go!
Let me go!
I won't go!
Let me go!
Dad, I don't want to go!
I won't go! Let me go!
I don't want to go!
Take a look, there's no ghost.
I won't look!
Let me go!
I'm leaving, mom.
Nan.
She will stay at the dorm with her friends.
She'll visit during weekends.
How can you allow that?
Otherwise, my mother will take her back to Bangkok.
Do you want that?
Where the hell are you?
Umm, I'm at the airport. On my way to Bangkok actually.
I was told to look after the project in Bangkok like usual.
What about me?
Thee, we're both adults.
You still don't get the hint, do you?
Yoi?
I'm glad that your company succeeded.
Only because you helped me.
I'm kind of surprised you found me.
Never thought you'd know where I live.
Luckily you came here in time, otherwise, I'd be out for the day.
Why didn't you call me?
I thought you were busy, I didn't want to disturb you.
Since you've resigned, my life has become a mess.
I heard your new secretary is very good.
But I liked it better when you were around.
I'd be very happy if we had a chance to work together again.
Thee...
You're home early today.
I have a headache,
so I left early.
Thee, I have to pick up Nat.
Parn.
Thee...
Is something wrong?
Nothing.
My head still hurts.
EMPLOYMENT INFORMATION
I'm sorry but the ad was printed a long time ago.
We only accept applicants who are between 20 and 30.
I'm sorry, but you exceed the maximum age of our requirement.
Pee, I need to mop the floor.
I need to mop the floor.
STAFF NEEDED CLEANING STAFF START IMMEDIATELY
Uncle, you look great. Are you going to work?
So are you going to that neighborhood?
Ladda Land?
Fuck no, I heard it's fucking haunted
Take one step in there and you'll die.
You're right, only idiots would still be living there.
Hey!
Oh shit!
Are you insane?
How could you do this to a customer?
But he was stealing!
Then call the police.
You can't beat them.
Get out! You're fired!
No, I'm not.
How am I going to feed my family?!
Golf, open the door.
What was that noise?
What are you doing?
Nat, come here.
What were you doing?
What if something happened to him?
Well, he hid in the closet,
so I thought I'd play a joke on him.
A joke?
If you're going to play like this then you're not welcome under this roof.
Go home.
Your child locked my son in the closet.
What if no one was home?
Golf...
Is this true?
Satisfied?
Get in.
Parn?
Where's Nat?
He went to play with Golf.
Nat?
Is that you Nat?
Hello, Parn.
Hello, Thee, where are you?
Nat's home.
Nat.
Why did you go into that house?
I asked why you went into that house?
Golf told me to get his cat.
Your son has gone too far!
He tried to trick my son into that house.
Who'll be responsible if something happens?
Did something happen?
How can you say that?
Is that all?
What kind of father are you?
If you can't teach your son a lesson,
then I'll teach him myself.
It's my family. I'll take care of it.
Go home and tell your wife...
to mind her own business.
Then give me back my money!
When did I borrow your money?
Your wife borrowed 10,000 baht from my wife last month.
You bastard, you only talk tough.
If you're that great why can't you look after your family...
with your own money?
Here's your money.
Now leave my family alone!
You fucking cat!
Pee.
They need you at the register.
Alright.
Need anything else?
How much?
12 baht.
Keep the change.
Why didn't you tell me?
What's the point in telling you?
What's good in keeping it all to yourself?
I have an interview with a company in 2 days.
I just borrowed their money,
I'll redeposit the money as soon as I can.
I'm going back to work.
Mr. Manob opened a new branch in Chiang Mai.
Just going back to work, or back to see him?
You've worked in marketing for 10 years in Bangkok.
We could use someone like you here in Chiang Mai.
Your skills will benefit us greatly.
Actually when a person moves, they will adapt to the new environment.
But from my experience,
the marketing...
Sorry.
So, from my experience,
if we change our target from this area to another.
We may...
I'm sorry, probably something urgent from home.
Parn, I'm in an interview.
Mr. Thee, Mr. Somkiat shot and killed his whole family.
Must be the stress from work.
His company probably went bankrupt, I hear he had over 10 million baht in debt.
I heard his wife had borrowed money from a lot of people.
Really? I thought I was the only one she borrowed from.
I thought I was too.
Come in.
Murder-suicide in the Ladda Land subdivision.
The deceased: Two females, one child, and one male. Over.
Poor, Golf...
I heard the policemen say he was shot in the face.
Mr. Thee, didn't you know?
Mr. Somkiat and his family have been dead for several days.
I don't want to live here anymore.
Let's move.
Move where?
This is our home.
And I'm about to get a new job.
Everything will be fine.
This has nothing to do with the job.
You saw it yourself,
our neighbors have been dead for several days.
Then what have we seen the past few days?
Maybe it didn't happen.
Let's pack up and move back to Bangkok.
We can start again.
It's easy for you to say.
I have a mortgage to pay.
If we move out now,
I'll lose the house and the money in mortgage.
I'll have nothing left.
You'll still have me and the kids.
Weren't we happy when we were renting a house?
I don't want your mother to look down on me.
You care about what my mom thinks,
but you don't care how me and our children feel?
Don't care, Parn?
I worked hard everyday...
and bought a house for all of us,
so we can live as a family.
How can I not care?
Let's go back to Bangkok.
If we can't afford to buy a house, we can rent one again.
We'll get Nan to stay with us.
I can help too.
I will go back to work.
You want to go back to work?
The only reason you want to go back to Bangkok...
is to see him, right?
Wait, let's make this clear.
I have said many times,
Mr. Manob is my boss.
Just the boss?
Then why the hell did he come all the way to Chiang Mai?
So what if he came? I didn't look for him.
It doesn't matter if you did or he did.
What's important is...
are you with him?
I'll try to convince myself that you're just angry.
But if you think I'm that kind of a person,
then I can't live with you.
Nat!
Nat, get down here!
Haven't I told you to put the toys away after you're done playing?
It wasn't me.
If you didn't, then who did?
Golf did.
Nat, don't lie to me.
Golf and his family haven't returned from Bangkok!
They're back. We're playing hide-and-seek right now.
Don't lie! They're not back!
He's back.
Don't lie!
Golf...
come out, I don't want to play anymore.
Nat.
Golf...
I don't want to play anymore.
Golf, I don't want to play.
Golf.
Nat.
Golf, I don't want to play.
Golf, come out.
Nat.
Golf, where are you hiding?
Golf, I don't want to play.
Come out.
Golf?
Stop lying to me!
I'm not lying.
Nat, stop lying!
I'm not lying.
Why are you lying to me?
I'm not lying.
You're not supposed to lie!
I'm not lying.
Then tell me, where's Golf?
Maybe he went home.
Lies! Stop lying to me!
I'm not lying.
Why are you lying?
Why?
Stop!
Stop crying!
Stop!
Parn!
Why are you hitting him?
Have you gone crazy?
What's wrong with you?
I must be dreaming.
To think you'd call me.
Mom...
Forget about it.
No matter how much I hate your husband, you're still my daughter.
And I love my grandchildren.
If you can't live in that place anymore then, move back to Bangkok.
I'd rather see your husband once or twice a week,
than to risk having my grandchildren being scared by ghosts.
Do you want me to talk to him?
No, it's OK. I'll tell him.
Nan...
pack up. We're moving back to Bangkok.
Excuse me.
Is anybody home?
Sorry.
Parn.
Get away from me!
You love that house so much don't you?
You love it, right?
Now look at our daughter. Look!
If you love it that much go back and live in it!
Nan is so unfortunate to have a father like you.
Get the hell out of my face!
Parn.
Go!
Dad...
can you sleep in my bed tonight?
Of course.
Nat,
do you like our new home?
But I like our old house better.
Nat?
Nat!
Nat?
Nat!
Nat.
Nat!
Son, where are you?
Parn, did you pick up our son?
Is he with you?
Nat...
Nat.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Golf...
is Nat here?
Where is he?
Thee!
Nat!
Nat?
Nat!
Nat! Nat, are you okay?!
Somkiat,
where's my son?
You bastard! Where is my son!
Nat?
Nat! Wake up! Nat!
Nat, wake up!
Nat, wake up! Mom is here.
Nat?
Nat!
Nat, wake up. Mom is here.
Thee!
Nan, did you know?
When I was close finishing high school,
I had planned out my future with many ideas.
But...
When I found out that I was pregnant with you,
Everything...
My plan and dream was taken away from me.
All I could think of was, I'm still young.
How can I possibly be a mother?
How can I raise my children well?
So I told your father...
That I'd have an abortion.
I thought to myself that we would have to end our relationship.
But the next day,
your father showed up at grandma's house...
and told your grandma that he would marry me.
She couldn't stop yelling at him.
But he didn't say a word.
All he said was...
This is my family...
I will take care of them.
This my family...
I have to take care of them.
Your father loved you very much...
