Love of Siam

Love of Siam (รักแห่งสยาม, 2007) is a Thai romantic drama you can watch online on iFILM, written and directed by Chookiat Sakveerakul. At two and a half hours, it takes its time — and builds something rare for that runtime.

Mew and Tong grew up as inseparable friends in Bangkok until Tong's older sister vanished during a family vacation. The grief broke the household; his parents moved away, and the friendship ended with them. Years later the two run into each other as teenagers. Mew fronts a popular band; Tong is carrying a family that hasn't healed — a drinking father, a mother frozen in loss. Their reconnection deepens into feelings neither of them can easily name, and then a girl in Mew's circle turns up looking uncannily like the sister who disappeared.

Among the most-discussed Thai films of its decade, it handles an unconventional love story with warmth and without shortcuts. Stream Love of Siam (2007) online on iFILM.
