My right eye just twitched
Right for bad, Left for the good (Thai's saying because the words sounds similar also some people take it as an omen)
Oh my god.
Dear lord.
Left is good so I have to step outside with the left foot. Okay.
What's wrong?
The wrong foot.
Wrong foot?
I stepped out on the wrong foot. Right is bad but the left is good.
Something bad is going to happen here.
I knew it. Something bad happened at the house,right?
It's great grandmother, right? Right?
Madam just wanted me to hand over to you this document.
That's it?
Something this bad
Why didn't mother let Jib hand this to me?
Who's Jib?
Carrier pigeon.
Am, here.
Lady Thida, do you have any message you want me to convey to Madam, sir?
No, you can just go.
Go? To Ayudthaya? It's far, would you like to take some rest before you go?
Am can walk there in just 6 hours, don't worry.
I give you 6 days, I bet he still wouldn't get there.
So what is this about? Your relative died?
The one who died doesn't worry me. I'm more worried of a relative who's not dead.
Kwanjai. My brother is coming.
That's a lot.
Everyone!
Everyone listen up.
Somebody is in trouble right now. Listen up.
Is there anything we can help you?
Mr.Ruj, there's a level 4 emergency situation.
And I want to tell everybody so you can prepare.
If that's the case, I think I need to call Ruj.
What is it?
Thida's little brother is coming to visit.
Thida's younger brother!
Oh crap!
Don't know him.
If not, what's so bad?
Look at Thida, she's this weird. What do you think her little brother will be like?
That's right, Joe.
If you think that I'm not so normal,
My brother
could be seen as a total freak.
Oh, I wouldn't be surprise if coming from your family.
Like your family can be called 'normal'
So natural
Mr.Vee come sit. This is serious.
The situation is so sudden and emergent. What happened is that..
When my brother was 4
he happened to have the chance to follow father to take a look at the ditch behind our house.
Just for a short moment that father looked away.
To discuss with our servant, if that thing is Faak or Fang, Faak or Fang (Vegetable's name)
A wild boar ran over out of nowhere.
Straight to catch my little brother and ran away.
Father was so surprised. He could only scream with horror, Faak, Faak.
The servants ran all over the place for 7 days looking for him.
But they couldn't find my brother.
So there was a rumour.
That wild boar was an angel who came to avduct my brother.
An angel would disguise as a wild boar?
He couldn't think of anything else rather than a boar?
So what happened?
8 years later,
The servant found my little brother at the same ditch, running around there and ate the soils.
When someone talked to him, he would answer in an alien language.
Then we
never let him out of our sight.
We take such good care of him.
Until today.
Your little brother is so cool.
It's like in the movie, Mowgli The Jungle book.
That's wolf (Vee intentionally mistakes the wolf for a boar since they sounds similar in Thai)
Yes, Mr.Vee, laugh now before you cannot.
But I think a kid is just a kid.
He wouldn't harm anyone.
It should be more fun if there's kid around.
If he takes off all his clothes like a barbarian or
Or just sit there and carry around a bow on the shoulder like that red-shirt fat freak, then we'll worry.
That's Chatree, my little brother.
Chatree.
Thida!
Let me go. Let
So you live here
I got lost, away from here may blocks down.
My friends. They're all my friends.
Hello, Chatree.
Hello.
You get this from father boar, right?
You smell weird.
What smell is it?
It's a perfume.
It smells. You're quite ugly.
You were a sinner since birth, right?
Look at Thida, Thida look!
She's so pale like a boiled chicken and so skinny
So skinny I can see your bone. Look.
I can see all your bones.
Look at Thida, she's so much more beautiful.
What are you saying? That's my friend. Okay, that's enough.
This is Kwanjai. This is Joe. This is Vee.
This is Tor. Oh, Khaw. Tonkhaw! My brother is here.
Where? Who's Thida's brother?
OH!!! That's a tiger!
Hey, that's not a tiger. We call it ladyboy.
I don't believe you. It's a tiger.
This kid! I'm a human not a tiger!
What's this?
It hurts.
Thida, you, how -
Close your eyes.
Will he die?
He won't. Just pass out.
Chatree, this is unacceptable! That's my friend not a tiger.
Don't do this to anybody again, okay?
How long did my mother say to let you stay here?
One month.
Mother. Why don't you just shoot me with a gun?!
Mother told me to bring this to you?
What is it? A burmese powder, it's all wet.
Also, there's one for me.
Ants' eggs, I brought the whole nest.
The other day I went to climb a mango tree.
The branch I climbed up was small so it broke, then my butt hurt.
The branch wasn't small. I think you can't even break the banyan tree.
I'll take my brother to take some rest.
Where is Ruj? I couldn't find him no matter where I look.
Ms.Thida, the level 4 emergency situation is under control I think.
It's all under control. The reason you couldn't find Ruj was because you didn't find the clothes, right?
There's a security guard suit hanging to dry on the rooftop. You have so many things on your mind so you start to forget things, right?
Okay. This is Chatree. This is Mr.Ruj. He's the owner of this condominium.
Go say hi.
Hello
Hello, the owner of condominium.
Your brother is very friendly.
This is my place.
It's big, right?
Why is the bed so small. It's too small for two people.
This is called a couch.
Take a seat first. I wil get you a glass of water.
That's called a table. We don't sit on tables. We sit on the couch.
Come here. No. No. Sit here.
Sit.
Here's water.
Take a drink.
My brother is thirsty.
He's thirsty.
Are you hungry?
A little.
Yeah, this is a little, you say.
It's okay, I'll go gorcery shopping. You stay with him.
You will do grocery shopping? You?
Teach a crocodile to do boxing is easier. I'll do down with you.
Chatree, can you stay here by yourself?
He means yes So I
I will go buy something for us to eat. Look at me. I will lock the door. Do not let anyone in here.
Do not let anybody in here. Stay in here, okay?
He understands.
I'll lock the door.
Apple.
Ouch my teeth.
Flower. Flower.
Fake fragrant.
Like mother said, Bangkok people
They always lie to you
A wild boar, it was said their origin is in Southeast asia.
Especially, in Asia, it is said most of the wild boars are here
A wild boar, in Thailand, there are 2 species, short and long face.
To know their characters
Are you okay?
Stay with me. I'm here alone. I have no one to talk to.
Kwanjai, hurry.
I'm in a hurry. Nothing will happen.
I feel something weird. My right eye is twitching.
Chatree.
I'm back.
He's probably having a nap.
What's going on?
What the heck?
Chatree, what was that?
Thida, said to be careful of strangers, and you pop up like this.
The next time send me a signal like this..
Why do light a fire?
It's cold in here. Me and my brothers
are so cold.
I turn on the air conditioner and that's a television. They put a camera there and..
And where did you guys go for so long? I'm so hungry I'm cooking this lizard I found in the room.
Lizard?
Chatree, stop the fire. And what did you use to ignite?
A piece of cloth
A cloth.
Where did you get this?
*The shirt's brand* It's 15,000 baht.
Did you hear something?
What sound?
There's an intruder.
Male, 2 feet, one person, aggressive, seems he's hungry.
Thida. I'll just say it once.
Noodle. 2 eggs with a little water mix in.
Oh what are guys cooking?
Why doesn't that work this time?
Chicken teriyaki. It's still hot. Wanna try?
I can?
It's so soft and smells really good. Try.
Yum. It's tasty.
They look well together.
Think about it. Whose room could be more perfect for my brother to stay in than Joe's room?
That room is as messy as a forest. So uncivilised, there's no television, no refrigerator.
Then we're good for this month.
What are you guys talking about. I'm gonna eat all this.
Eat it. We're full.
It's so soft, right?
It's soft because it's a meat of -
Don't talk. Don't. Thank you.
Joe, do you want to have a teriyaki chicken for free all month?
Free.
Chatree. Make yourself at home.
Ok. Make yourself at home. I'm gonna practice guitar.
A cheetah?
Where is it? It kills boar. Where is it?
Wait, not cheetah, it's guitar.
It's an instrument, you play it and it produces sound.
I'm scared of a tiger.
Do you know music?
How did your parents raise you?
*Thai famous poem saying the people who does not know of music are not such upright people*
Hello, people here at Tawandaeng, let's listen to some songs.
Joe.
Who do you lock up in there?
Who do lock in here?
Chatree, so when you play a guitar
the sound will come out from there, see?
You. I'll help you out of there.
You. Are you lonely?
I'll help you.
Chatree.
Chatree - How are you?
I'm fine. I like it dark like this and I have music to listen to.
It's too dark. Come out. This looks like a cage.
I like this. I really like it.
But it's.. come out - You fat boy,
I said I like it in here.
Joe, music must really make people happy. Look
He wouldn't come out.
Can you teach me?
Um, it's not like you can play it in just one day.
Please, teach me.
Pick it up
wrong side
ah, okay
first, a cool rock
Like John minor(?)
Look.
Ok, like this, can you do it?
Be careful, that's expensive.
80 baht.
Let's start with a basic like C.
160 baht now.
300 baht. It's good they give 20 baht discount.
Let's stop here.
Your hands are so hard, huh.
Please stop. Let's start from listening.
Joe,
I'm sleepy.
Good. That's a great idea.
I'll sleep now.
choose freely, you can sleep anywhere.
I sleep in here.
Chatree. That's a cupboard. To put things inside, you can't sleep in there.
Let's sleep here on this bed.
When did you put this here?
Okay, sleep.
Chatree
What time is it? - What do you mean, you just lie down.
My back hurts.
I'll sleep on here. It's like a dry grass and it smells good.
Thank you, Joe.
Can you not sleep?
What did you do?
Give me the leaves in that bamboo stick.
Chatree
What?
A nightmare?
- A bit. - About what?
Someone sh*t in here.
Mother said if you dream of something bad, good thing will happen in real life.
Could it be Kwanjai?
Wait a moment. I'm coming.
I'm here.
Come inside, Thida.
Thank you.
this is everyone?
What is it, Thida?
I want trouble you something.
Chatree knows nothing about technology.
I want to bring Chatree here and
you can teach him the technology, physics, chemistry, biology, whatever you want to teach him, please do.
That's fine. What I'm best at are science and children.
other than that I suck at everything.
You're such a good speaker, come on.
Chatree, Say hi to him.
Hello.
I'll leave him to you then.
For you, which is Kwanjai's friend, I'll do my best.
I have a meeting with Tonkhaw.
I'll go now
P'Vee, what's that?
These are called glasses.
It helps us see pictures clearer.
I want to try also.
It depends on your eyesight -
It's nor clearer.
You lie. Bangkok people lie.
Bangkok people don't lie. but -
Can I have my glasses back?
Chatree. Please give it back
it's here, Vee.
What's that smoke?
Chatree, wait!
Don't play with that.
Wait. That's no no. Do you know what will happen if you eat it?
I don't know.
This chemical, I just made, it helps grow hair just over the night.
This is not a toy.
Look.
You lie.
Bangkok people lie. I don't believe you.
I mean it. It's the truth. I make this for Udom. Since winter is coming.
Udom
I'm chatree
Are you bored?
I'll help you out.
Chatree. You know what? Actually, this chemical is still not perfect.
It'll take a little bit more time.
Maybe at the end of the year
Now if winter comes
These short hair animals will be warm
It's such a big discovery of this year.
Vee, - I'm clever, right?
I'm thirsty.
In just a sec.
I'll hold this for you.
Be careful;.
Just a sec
For you, I have a healthy drink.
Thank you.
Hey P'Vee, I can't open it.
I'll open it for you.
Done.
Here.
This one is so full.
Cheers.
Why does this taste weirder?
Where is this?
I don't know
Chatree
Grows hair.
Just breathing, I can still smell it.
Did someone take a dump?
No one
I also
feels like I can't take care of Chatree anymore.
Joe, what's wrong?
Khun Vee...
I finished writing a letter
I'm telling mother I will send Chatree back home.
Would that be okay?
If not that, then what are you gonna do? You wanna take him in?
This time your back hair will grow.
It's all over my arms already.
You're mean. Chatree's still a child.
But.. when will he go?
I'm just kidding.
Thida, you're lucky to have a sibling.
I'm a loner. I have no one to consult anything.
I wanna have one. - I'll give Chatree to you.
No, thanks.
But.. where is he?
There
I'm here. Laundry.
That's not funny? - No, have you seen Chatree on the way here?
Oh, I just walked past him. He said he's going to wash his clothes.
What's wrong?
He doesn't know how to use the washing machine.
What?
Oh gosh.
Level 4 emergency.
I have to call Ruj
I thought it wouldn't be done in time.
Chatree.
Chatree. what are you doing?
Tonkhaw said if I want to wash my cloths, to come and do it here.
But do you know how to do it?
Of course, he said just open the lid, then I can wash it.
Where did you get the water?
Here.
What about what's in the cabinet?
What is this?
Mr.Ruj keeps telling not to let anyone set fire in the condominium, if he knows, I'll be dead.
Then don't tell him. - No, I have to, this is a big problem.
And why do you light the fire.
To grill the fish. I went to the side of the road. There was a ditch so I was fishing for some fish and I got so many.
I light the fire and grill the fish.
Where are the fish? - I put them here. I'm afraid the cats will eat it.
That's enough. Come down here.
Go up to the room.
Come down.
But - No but, listen to me.
This morning, you guys were asleep.
But I think I'll go back tomorrow.
Bangkok doesn't fit me.
So I intentionally cook food
for you as a goodbye party
For Thida
I'm not laughing
I'm not laughing. There's really your name on it.
Joe.
There's one for me too?
Vee
Smelly
Ladyboy
It's good if you don't want it, I'll take it.
Tonkhaw, I'm sorry.
It's okay. He's just a kid.
Right. Your brother is good at heart.
And about the beard
I can just cut it out, it's okay.
I suggest you shave
That's too much
Ms.Thida, don't worry, I won't tell Mr.Ruj about this.
But Tor..
Isn't there my name?
No. There's only one for Mr.Ruj.
I'm sorry, Ruj.
Thida, I think we should go up to see Chatree.
Can you hold this for me?
Tor, where are you going?
I want to follow them.
Don't. Help me clean this up first.
What is this?
Just for once, so I ca get the feel that I also actually have a brother.
Hurry. Then you can go wherever you please.
I also want a brother. Do you see me complain?
It still smells? - Yes.
Joe, Vee.
Chatree is leaving. Let's take a picture.
He's leaving?
Look here and smile.
Okay.
1,2,
Let's see.
You're cute.
You sure you can go back?
I'll come visit again.
Once in a big while. ok?
You want it, too, huh?
No, you smell.
Come here.
There's hair.
I like it.
Don't come near. It'll shoot a dart at you.
I'll shoot. Stop.
Go safely.
Bye
Good luck.
I'll excuse myself too
See looks like he's used to it now.
Chatree leaves and it feels weird, right?- He'll come back next year.
Let's go inside.
I want to go wash my face.
Does it come out ok?
Look at this.
Chatree!
