A funny and touching story..., 8 December 2006
9/10
Author: Kinoks from Bangkok, Thailand

A young long-hair student go to the hairdresser and decide to cut everything out... Moo tries definitely to forgot his past and disappeared, without telling his mother where he is going, he takes his bag and take the first train direction the south of Thailand... While he finally arrive at the sea side, he decide to climb on the roof of a boat to breath his new freedom, to finally fall down and break his leg... Constraint to stay at the hospital of Phangan island, we discover the reasons of his desire of changing his life through the letter he send to his "close friend" in Chiang Mai....

A few years ago, while he enlisted to become a student in arts in Chiang Mai (north of Thailand), he met a really beautiful girl with a strong personality, named Dakanda. Studying together they become best friends quickly, but Moo falling in love for her doesn't know how to tell her...

While he is writing his letters in the hospital of Phangan, he met Nui, a beautiful southern nurse who is really helpful and become another "close friend" with another personality... The movie challenge both girls through flashbacks...

Beside a classic story, this movie really touched me when I saw it for many reasons, as I lived in Chiang Mai, I really felt nostalgic about the life shown and about the student culture of Chiang Mai... Very well shot, this movie was a mirror to my own life as well... I felt very shocked when my favorite book, "le Petit Prince" became another reference in the movie connecting the three characters... and their life. Phuan Sanit is not just a simple "student love movie" it has some real good direction and is culturally rewarding, another way to perceive the youth in Thailand. I was lucky to see this movie 2 years ago with English subs... Unfortunately nowadays the DVD version only exists in Thailand, and no English subs, a good way to put this movie to the grave...
