I play the role of Larh-Fah,
a noble warlord from Chiang Lah.
He is an attractive and intelligent man.
A storm is approaching.
The woodcutter follows the monk.
They find shelter from the storm in a tunnel
and meet an undertaker, played by Phongpat Wachirabanjhong.
These three men try to determine the truth as they talk in the tunnel.
Kham Kaew is a lady married into a wealthy family.
She was groomed to be Larh-Fah's wife
and he wanted to marry her.
The role is very challenging and difficult,
and the character can be played in different ways.
The character Singh Kham
was born into a poor farm family.
He couldn't beat the system,
so he escaped into the woods and became a bandit.
He robs the rich,
and he also abducts and rapes noblewomen.
He has a complicated background.
This man is wild, aggressive,
and he lives in the woods.
When he's arrested, he is still defiant.
He speaks with a sharp tongue.
The character I play is the woodcutter.
He is a man who lives from hand to mouth and takes care of his many children.
Arnont is the son of a wealthy mirror maker.
He is the youngest of two sons and has been a devout Buddhist since childhood.
He told his mother of his wish to enter the monastery
and his desire to study Buddhism for the rest of his life.
One day he was summoned to court
to testify as a witness to a ***.
He was the last person to see the warlord and his wife.
In court, he realizes that the other witnesses are lying.
He doesn't understand how the world can be so cruel.
He is confused and can't make sense of things.
There is nothing that sufficiently explains the situation for him.
Until this incident, Arnont could always find an answer to life's mysteries.
There was always a way to find meaning in life,
but he couldn't find a way to explain why these people behaved as they did.
So he became discouraged
and decided to leave the monastery.
The undertaker has lived in the tunnel
for a very long time.
He has seen a lot in his life.
He understands the nature of human beings, both living and dead,
so he can judge people well.
We auditioned many actors for the bandit role,
and finally Mr. Somsak chose Dom Hetrakul.
I agreed with this casting choice.
It's always special working with Chermarn.
There's a natural chemistry between us,
and we've known each other for a long time.
We didn't have to get to know each other or waste time being shy
because we already know one other.
I feel comfortable working with M. L. Bhandevanop,
and I feel comfortable playing Ananda's wife.
As you know,
Ananda and I are good friends.
I felt relaxed with him.
I had many discussions with M. L. Bhandevanop on creating this character.
We decided to make him ugly with special makeup
and I decided to make his voice a little hoarse.
What is interesting
is that no one thought that Mum would work in my film,
and this was his very first serious role.
Usually, he improvises his dialogue.
I think this is the best movie I've ever been involved with.
It is very challenging.
I don't know what he saw in me.
At first, I wanted to turn down the role,
but after thinking it over,
having never played such an unconventional role like this before,
I finally said yes.
He was always telling jokes and making everyone laugh.
If Phettai or Phongpat weren't on the set,
it felt like something was missing.
Mario was also good. The three of us had many scenes together.
Mario was also spot-on in his role.
Sometimes I felt inadequate.
I looked at the board when they were in a scene.
They were very focused.
I read the board to check when my next scene was and other details.
All the actors were eager to do their best in their roles.
The script is based on a classic story
that is meaningful and worthy of further study.
The story in itself is interesting.
Most of the dialogue is based on the play written by M. R. Kukrit Pramoj.
Everybody enjoyed working on this production.
