Me…Myself & Ananda Everingham!

"Anyway, of all the male Thai actors (actually Ananda is a Lao-Australian), I find Ananda’s acting very natural. His very first movie that I saw was “Shutter” which had a remake in 2007 and stars Joshua Jackson, but frankly, the Thai version’s even more thrilling than the latter. Then again, I purchased a DVD of another movie of him, “Me…Myself“, in which Ananda played a kathoey/transvestite cabaret performer who suffers from amnesia after a vehicular accident and fell in love with the woman who took care of him. Very interesting twist indeed and no wonder this movie garnered director Pongpat Wachirabunjong a Silver Peacock Award for Most Promising Director at the 38th International Film Festival of India."

^ Thai media depends on the talents of Laotians such as Ananda and Nadech. No native Thai (Siamese) actor is as famous or as talented as our Ananda in the international scene. Ananda was even featured on a famous American morning show talking about Laotian culture.
Laotian customs, foods, and people are the driving forces in Thai culture. The coolest thing is that anyone can enjoy Laotian elements in BOTH Laos and Thailand. Even both Lao TV and Thai TV feature Laotian language and Laotian celebrities. Native Thai culture is being overshadowed by Laotian elements.
It's no wonder Thai culture had to depend on Laotian elements because Thai culture by itself just doesn't cut it.
