Movie: Patong Girl

Patong Girl is a 2014 German-Thai film, which won awards at Film Festivals in Germany, was then screened in theaters and will now soon be shown in a select number of cinemas in Thailand.

The official premiere for Thailand is on April 18 in Phuket and then from April 21 at SF Junkceylon Phuket, SF Bangkok and SF Pattaya. Although the film is partly set in Phuket, the filming for this film was mainly made in Jomtien, Pattaya and Kanchanaburi.

Table of contents

The 18-year-old son of a German family falls in love with a beautiful Thai woman while on holiday in Phuket. It is a holiday romance and when the family has to return to Germany after two weeks, the boy takes a bold decision and goes to her native village with his first great love. But, it will turn out, the woman has a past because she is a ladyboy (Katoey).

With sharp observations and without any form of sensationalism, Patong Girl offers not only a beautiful story about a transgender woman and her ordinary life, but also a slightly ironic, but loving look at the differences between Thais and holidaymakers.

Gringo
Bert Gringhuis (1945), born and raised in Almelo in the beautiful Twente. Later lived for many years in Amsterdam and Alkmaar, working in export for various companies. I first came to Thailand in 1980 and immediately fell in love with the country. Been back many times since then and moved to Thailand after my (early) retirement as a widower. I have been living there for 22 years now with my somewhat younger Thai lady Poopae.
My first experiences in Thailand as a kind of newsletter sent to family, friends and acquaintances, which later appeared under the name Gringo on Thailandblog. Many, many articles followed those first stories and that has grown into an almost daily hobby.
In the Netherlands still an avid footballer and football referee, but the years are starting to tell and in Thailand still avid, but the pool billiards is really of inferior quality, ha ha!
