I believe Lady-Bar (1&2) is the real Thailand, nothing is fake in this movie and I am sure the writer (Xavier Durringer) spent a lot of time in Thailand and maybe lives there to know so well about how it happens with this wonderful daily life that is sometime too good to last long. Thailand is only about love. Of course money looks at first sight as being "number One" but after 10 years going back and forth I realized that there is something much more beautiful to learn from this "Land of Smile" and this movie shows it all with good manners in a very elegant way. BRAVO !! :-)
As 10 lines is not enough for my review to be posted in IMDb, I tell you again, if you love Thailand, you must see this movie and a big Bravo to Xavier Durringer (Writer & Director)
