Two Faces of Thailand: A Musical Portrait

Summary: Old and Outdated view of Thailand's rural sector.
Review: On the one hand, it is a good view of the past lifestyle of the people outside the metropolis Bangkok. On the other hand, it is also an outdated tourism video. The singers, etc. presented on this video are from a time gone past. If you are a history student who have visited Thailand before and want to get a view of the past, this may be a good buy. On the other hand, if you've never been to Thailand and think this video will show you what it is like - NOT! Thailand has changed so much in the past decade. This video was actually shot in 1983 but redistributed in 1994. Get Thailand - The Golden Kingdom instead.

Summary: The Best Documentary Video I've Ever Seen on Thailand
Review: This is the best documentary I've ever seen o Thailand. Better than any travel video, incl. Lonely Planet. I've spent 2 years in Thailand and speak the language fluently, but this video showed me things I've never seen before. It's not just about music, it's about rural Thai culture.
