Hi guys! It’s time for a new Thai film. This one might not consists of lots of incredible actions like Tony Jaa’s movies. But this one really guarantees the fun and laughs. Here we go. The movie is called Pattaya Papaya or Thai’s name “Somtum” our famous papaya salad. You’ll find out later why this name.

The story is about a big guy named Barny who somehow traveled to Thailand and got robbed. Having nothing left, he has to do something to survive. This point leads him to find two girls who’re being hunted by Pattaya mafia gang. One of the girls happens to know Muay Thai and is actually really good at it. Barny got hurt from trying to save the girls finally get something back. Both girls took him back to their mom who owns a Somtum restaurant. Barny tried it for the first time and that’s when he feels the fire inside because of the heat from this food running through everything destroying the restaurant. He got no choice but to find a way to repair it somehow.

The friendship between this huge guy and 2 tiny girls has begun. But then these naughty girls again get into trouble and are hunted by a gang of diamond robbers.

So what do you think? The movie is just in Theater a few days ago and I hope you will find it in DVD soon outside Thailand. I really hope you will get to see this film. But as I said, the Muay Thai actions in the movies are performed by a girl. If you expected it to be so cool, think again. But as I have heard, the girl is really good. She actually knows the martial arts. As a kid, she did give a really good performer.
