Top 10 Thai Drama / Series

1. HORMONES THE SERIES
    3 seasons




Hormones is a Thai Teen drama television series produced by GTH and first broadcast in 2013. The shows follow the lives and relationships of a group of secondary school students as they go through school and home life and face various issues. Breaking the mold of Thai television, which typically features Thai soap operas and sitcoms, Hormones was conceived with more Western-style and production values more usually associated with filmmaking. It is also distinguished itself by featuring controversial issues such as teenage sex and pregnancy, homosexuality and school violence.

2. THIRTEEN TERRORS


Every school has a past that people went to be concealed. There are things that happened that people don't want to talk about. There are students whom people want to forget. And there are secrets waiting for the day that they're revealed.

3. ROOM ALONE



This series tells the stories of lonely people in the age of social media. The residents of room 401 through 410 live alone. Although their lifestyles may be different they share and confront the same problem, loneliness. For them, social media seems to be the only choice to connect and relieve their loneliness. However, in reality, their loneliness cannot be deleted.

4. PROJECT S


A story about sports and lives of athletes full of friendship, love relationships, and transcendence in a rich and diverse perspective.

5. THE GIFTED


Ritdha Highschool is not the only school with gifted students. But what makes it unique is its "Gifted Program". In the Gifted class, only a handful of students were chosen to be in this program, but only those who are deemed 'special'

6. THE STRANDED


When a tsunami strands dozens of teens on an island at their private school, they soon realize no rescuers are coming and they must save themselves.

7. THE GIRL FROM NOWHERE

 

Many people think that the time spent in school is the most beautiful time in their lives. Is that so? The new girl, "Nanno", will take revenge for everyone. Inspired by real events.

8. IN FAMILY WE TRUST


The Jiraanan family is a wealthy ethnic Chinese business family, whose extended family spans three generations. Grandfather (A-gong) and Grandmother (A-ma) have four children. Prasoet, the eldest son, heads the family business, Jirananta Hotel, and manages its main Bangkok location, while Phatson, the only daughter, manages its Pattaya branch. Met, the second son, is a single stay-at-home parent, while the youngest son Konkan lives a playboy lifestyle. Among them (and a deceased fifth sibling), they have nine third-generation children.

The family members seem to get along well as they celebrate A-gong's birthday, but when he dies of old age shortly after, and his will is revealed to exclude Phatson from the inheritance of the hotel, she gets into an argument with Prasoet regarding its management. Prasoet is then found dead from a gunshot in his bedroom, and Phatson becomes a prime suspect. Prasoet's wife Chris also becomes suspect when it is revealed that Prasoet had been seeing a mistress for twenty years. The grandchildren, especially Prasoet and Chris's son, Pete and Phatson's eldest son Yi, become involved as each family tries to prove their innocence and uncover the mystery of the case.

9. HATE LOVE


A suspense and mature drama about five different people and how their lives get intertwined by a twist of fate and jealousy. Some of them will soon learn what it is like to get betrayed by a friend and to betray...all while trying hard to get what they want the most - love.

10. HAPPY BIRTHDAY


When his birthday is his sister's death day. On his 17th birthday, the siblings can connect with each other and she needs help from him to redemption and to apologize for what she did to her ex-boyfriend. 

And there you have. I will update this post if I watch another great Thai drama/series in the future. You can also comment below your own recommendation so anyone can see it. Enjoy!

THE DREAM: April 02, 2020

I dreamt last night. I saw my college friends who are very closed to me. And some are my friends way back my elementary days. The dream goes like this...

It was late afternoon. I and the half of the gang (MGF) was walking down the street looking somewhere to go. Then the scene change, we are now inside in a store. It wasn't clear if it was 7-Eleven or Pandayan Bookstore. But I know there's a lot of bookshelves and there is a Slurpee machine. It's weird though but dreams supposedly this weird, right?

Speaking of the Slurpee machine, Angelyn was standing beside it. With camera dangling on her neck, while waiting on her Slurpee.  I was standing beside her sipping my purple-colored Slurpee. I wasn't even remember what does Slurpee taste like. Anyway, she is taking pictures of several people on the door. It was Marco, Fe, and Arah. They are busy with a little machine near the door. It prints a QR code sticker when you type your name on it. I don't know what it is used for. 

JM is running on circle each bookshelf. When he saw Angelyn, he stops and makes a pose like a supermodel. Before he runs back again, he said he like my hair, which is weird because I am the one who admired his hair and wants to ask him how to achieve that.

Jack and Ellaine was busy on the corner reading a book. Ellaine is reading about a book on how to hack a safebox. She even show me how to unlock a treasure box using a single toothpick.( I should stop watching Money Heist by now.) Jack is focused on an FHM magazine. I still wonder even now I'm writing this, if I saw Ate Roxcel face on the magazine. My dream was too blurry. But I have the feeling it was her.

I approached the people on the door and ask them what are they doing. I even type my own name on the machine and it gives me two little QR code stickers. I am too was mesmerized by the machine that I didn't even notice there is someone waiting on their turn. It was Edralyn and Joyce Ann. They are my elementary classmates. I was surprised by their appearance on my dream. It was so out of the blue. They just stand there waiting their turn. To make up the awkwardness, I put the QR sticker on their chest. (Should I leave the part that I almost touch their... you know?) After that, they walk out of the store.

Karen is on the counter assisting the buying customer. She is wearing a party hat and an apron with a glowing text "I am a pretty girl" She is with a guy but I don't see his face because it's quite blurry but I feel I know him somehow. 

Then Ate Rox and Glaiza enters the store, both wearing pajamas and a bunny ear headband. I think they just came from a slumber party. Glaiza is still hugging her pillow. "Mga batang 'to magsi-uwi na nga kayo. Parang walang virus ah at gala pa rin kayo ng gala. I-benta ko kayo d'yan e. Uwi na!" Ate Rox shouted. Even on my dream she still very protective Ate that cares about everyone. 

Then I woke up. It was 5:30 in the morning. 

I am so glad, I could meet everyone kahit sa panaginip lang. Take care everyone.
