Take a break from Covid-19 with Thai classics on YouTube
Thai Film Archive, an agency responsible for preserving Thai film heritage, has been closed until March 31 after the Bangkok authority announced many public places would temporarily close.
However, the Thai Film Archive uploads classic Thai films on YouTube for people who have to stay home.
The playlist features “Santi-Vina” (1954), the first Thai movie filmed in 35mm with colour and sound (and English subtitles); “Muay Thai” (1963), which records the teachings of Bua Wad-im, a Korat-style Thai boxer; “Prai Takian” (1940), a ghost comedy movie; or “Fai Yen” (Cold Fire), a 1965 anti-Communist propaganda film sponsored by the US.
All movies uploaded will stay permanently on YouTube.
