1
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:34,439
Keow!

2
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:08,999
Auntie!

3
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,479
You go on ahead.

4
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:24,999
Put it over there.

5
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:26,279
Over there.

6
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:39,039
How about this one?

7
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:41,759
Put it over here.

8
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:16,759
The weather is really good.

9
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:17,919
It sure is.

10
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,519
It's very clean here, no dust.

11
00:09:20,680 --> 00:09:24,559
Jaai helps out.
He's the chief worker.

12
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:26,759
That's what I thought.

13
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:28,999
He's the one who called me?

14
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:30,199
Yes.

15
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:31,959
Where did you get him?

16
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,919
From Laos.
He crossed the Mekong river.

17
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,159
Is he legal?

18
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:40,679
I don't know.

19
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:43,839
What's that?

20
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,719
Tea leaves...
a Chinese man gave to me.

21
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:52,239
Aren't you afraid of illegal immigrants?

22
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,759
They can rob you,
kill you and disappear.

23
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:58,599
Don't worry.

24
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,999
The Lao
are more hard-working than Thais.

25
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:04,479
Shhh...

26
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:05,719
What?

27
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:16,119
Crazy man!
I should send you back to the hospital.

28
00:10:19,560 --> 00:10:21,319
Why is it so bitter?

29
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,519
You'll soon get used to the taste.

30
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:33,479
I know this man Dang
who was paralysed.

31
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:35,359
He drank this tea.

32
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,919
Now he can walk fine
and his piss is as clear as water.

33
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:41,759
Jaai!

34
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,799
Tell Buapan she's not needed tonight.

35
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:47,439
Okay, but shall I come back?

36
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,159
Yes, of course.

37
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,559
My kidney still needs you.

38
00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:02,039
I can't get by without him.

39
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:03,559
He tried to talk to me

40
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,199
but I don't understand
the Isaan dialect.

41
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,519
Not Isaan, Tong.
It's Lao, remember?

42
00:11:10,680 --> 00:11:11,879
Lao?

43
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:17,279
Jaai is single.
Help find him a girl, Jen.

44
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,679
I'm also single...

45
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:22,359
And lonely too.

46
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,039
I thought you said Laotians were smelly.

47
00:11:27,680 --> 00:11:31,399
They are smelly. What are you thinking?

48
00:11:31,560 --> 00:11:33,639
- What do you want for dinner?
- What?

49
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,999
What do you want to eat?
What can't you eat?

50
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,119
A lot...

51
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,039
Don't say that.

52
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,679
I brought him out here to cook for you.

53
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:46,079
That's right.

54
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:38,119
Water?

55
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:41,039
No.

56
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:43,999
The water isn't running.

57
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,079
Oh, now it is.

58
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:48,319
Is it a lot?

59
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:51,639
A quarter full.

60
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,439
15 minutes left.

61
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:55,719
It's flowing.

62
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,599
Did it hurt when I dressed your wound?

63
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:01,079
Not really.

64
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:04,919
Soon you will get better.

65
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,519
In not too long.

66
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:11,679
You think?

67
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,279
You'll stay with me to the end?

68
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,199
Come on. You'll be fine.

69
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,159
I'd like to ask about Auntie Jen.

70
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,239
Was she pretty when she was a teenager?

71
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,319
Well, she was
in a temple beauty contest.

72
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:57,799
Don't say that. I'm embarrassed.

73
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,679
I was almost a beauty queen.

74
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:03,999
Are you all full?

75
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:05,199
Yes.

76
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:09,199
Shame to waste my glass noodles.
Taste some, won't you?

77
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,679
My mouth's watering just looking at it.

78
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:15,679
I completely forgot.

79
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,679
He said he can't eat egg yolk,

80
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:20,879
but I put in two yolks.

81
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,959
It's alright.
Your kidney will be drained tonight.

82
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:26,719
Try some.

83
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:28,839
I really can't.

84
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,439
Look at my feet. They're swollen.

85
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,439
The doctor said I try too many things.

86
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,359
So many restrictions...

87
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,519
Even so, my condition hasn't improved.

88
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,599
This stir-fried chilli
is very good, Tong.

89
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:44,839
- I ate a lot of it.
- Thank you, sir.

90
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,919
Have you seen your bedroom?
Will you be able to sleep there?

91
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:51,919
Sure, no problem.

92
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:57,159
I built the concrete room downstairs
to sleep in myself.

93
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:58,719
It's much cooler.

94
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:02,959
But I don't sleep there.
I'm used to my old bedroom.

95
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,279
So I just use it for storage.

96
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,719
I'll sleep fine.
It's nice and cool.

97
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:10,719
You like it cool, don't you?

98
00:17:11,120 --> 00:17:12,719
No mosquitoes, right?

99
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:29,879
Huay?

100
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:31,799
Is that you?

101
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:34,959
Yes, it's me.

102
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:37,999
Huay...

103
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,359
Boonmee, I'm sorry.

104
00:17:43,120 --> 00:17:44,759
Why sorry?

105
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,639
It's been so long.

106
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:52,399
I have no concept of time any longer.

107
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,999
It's been 19 years, I think.

108
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,199
Auntie Jen, is that your younger sister?

109
00:18:00,360 --> 00:18:01,759
My older sister.

110
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,679
Huay, you're older than me

111
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,239
but you look so young.

112
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:12,479
Jen, I'm preserved this way.

113
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:16,879
You remain 42, right?

114
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,239
Boonmee, I know that you're sick.

115
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,239
I often wonder where you are.

116
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,239
If you are alright.

117
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,079
If you have enough to eat.

118
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,039
If you have clothes to wear.

119
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:37,439
I'm fine, but I know you are not well.

120
00:18:40,360 --> 00:18:42,439
Here, have some water.

121
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,039
Maybe you have travelled from far away.

122
00:18:51,360 --> 00:18:52,679
Huay,

123
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:56,759
did you get the things
I sent you via the temple?

124
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:58,519
Yes, sister.

125
00:18:59,120 --> 00:19:01,039
Thank you very much.

126
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:03,759
I could feel them.

127
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,479
I could hear your prayers.

128
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:10,279
It comforted me on those cold nights

129
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,239
with only the whispering wind.

130
00:19:14,360 --> 00:19:16,639
I heard familiar voices...

131
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,079
Boonmee's voice...

132
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:23,919
Perhaps...

133
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:30,239
they were being replayed
from my dying consciousness.

134
00:19:36,120 --> 00:19:37,359
Huay...

135
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,559
Are you here to take me away?

136
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,319
Don't say things like that.

137
00:20:28,120 --> 00:20:29,999
What's that sound?

138
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:34,199
Do you hear it?

139
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:47,359
Jaai, is that you?

140
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:22,479
Who are you?

141
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:26,519
I'm Boonsong.

142
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:28,439
Boonsong?

143
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,679
Boonsong, my son?

144
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:42,399
Mother.

145
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:48,279
It's Boonsong.

146
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:50,199
I recognise his voice.

147
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:54,199
Come here, child.

148
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:55,919
Come...

149
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:02,639
Do you remember me?

150
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:12,359
Sit here, child.

151
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,919
Why did you grow your hair so long?

152
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:27,319
There are...

153
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,639
There are many beings outside right now.

154
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,079
So I had to come and see you, Father.

155
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,279
What beings?

156
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:42,679
Spirits.

157
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,039
And hungry animals.

158
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:47,359
Like me...

159
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,439
they sense your sickness.

160
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:53,039
Boonsong...

161
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,039
I want to recognise you

162
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,159
but I can't.

163
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:03,199
Huay...

164
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,559
Six years after you died,

165
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,559
Boonsong disappeared.

166
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,879
I looked for him all afternoon.

167
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:18,919
The workers searched all over the farm.

168
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:21,319
When dusk arrived

169
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:25,359
we lit up the mountain,

170
00:23:26,120 --> 00:23:31,359
hoping he could see his way back home.

171
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:36,639
I saw you and the men searching for me.

172
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,439
I saw the sky change colour.

173
00:23:42,120 --> 00:23:43,919
I saw the lights.

174
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:48,279
But the night before
I'd made up my mind.

175
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,439
I practised with your Pentax camera.

176
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,359
I tried to understand...

177
00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:58,879
that thing.

178
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,519
What did you call it?

179
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,559
"The art of photography."

180
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,839
I took lots of photos

181
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,599
wherever I went.

182
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:21,879
One day...

183
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,479
I made a trip to the mountains.

184
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:58,119
I searched for that thing in the photo.

185
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:07,359
Excuse me.

186
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:11,639
Auntie...

187
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:31,799
I have never shown anyone
the proof of my discovery.

188
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:38,919
In fact...

189
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,039
the film was not even developed.

190
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,959
I was obsessed with this new creature.

191
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:10,639
I tried to chase it down

192
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:15,519
while it leapt from branch to branch.

193
00:26:59,120 --> 00:27:01,599
I tried to communicate with it.

194
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:06,799
I'm talking about the Monkey Ghost.

195
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:09,719
The Monkey Ghost?

196
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:12,359
Yes.

197
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,919
The ones we heard when we were young.

198
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,439
I couldn't have experienced this

199
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,959
if I hadn't mated with a Monkey Ghost.

200
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:58,839
My hair...

201
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:01,519
was growing longer.

202
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:04,319
My pupils...

203
00:28:05,120 --> 00:28:07,479
were slowly dilating.

204
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,039
After I acquired my wife,

205
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,639
we migrated north,

206
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:28,879
across the river.

207
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:35,239
By then,
I had forgotten the old world.

208
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:42,919
From my outsider's point of view,

209
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:46,839
you should be rejoicing
that these two have returned.

210
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:48,719
I am.

211
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,159
So why such a face?

212
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,159
How should my face look?

213
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,199
Have you eaten yet?

214
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,759
You can eat the leftovers.

215
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,759
Boonsong, I have something to show you.

216
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:09,519
Jen.

217
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:10,799
Sister.

218
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,319
How is Hans? Is he alright?

219
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:17,159
I chased him out with a butcher's knife.

220
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,759
- What happened?
- We clashed all the time.

221
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:27,079
Son, earthly matters
never cease to surprise, right?

222
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:30,279
There are a lot.

223
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:32,759
Look at them.

224
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:35,679
Remember this?

225
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:38,239
Can I?

226
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:43,079
I turned this land into a bee farm,

227
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,239
as you always wanted.

228
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:47,759
These pictures...

229
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:50,479
I took by myself.

230
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:54,519
Aren't they nice?

231
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:56,559
Sister...

232
00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:58,919
Look at this.

233
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:06,959
My funeral...

234
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:20,159
I can't see well in this bright light.

235
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:22,639
I'll take care of it.

236
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:36,879
Isn’t it too dark?

237
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,519
Tong, fetch the light in my room.

238
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:41,759
- Where is it?
- By my bed.

239
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:08,799
I see you started taking pictures again.

240
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,079
I've kept myself busy.

241
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:16,799
The workers come and go.

242
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,919
Sometimes, I envy them.

243
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,399
They can go wherever they want.

244
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:25,039
But I...

245
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:27,999
I can't go. I just stay here.

246
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:31,719
You've been here all along?

247
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:33,599
Auntie Jen always says

248
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,519
she wants to stay in one place.

249
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:39,399
But she's always on the move.

250
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:41,319
It's not by choice.

251
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:43,599
It must be my karma

252
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:46,239
from being stubborn.

253
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:47,479
Jen.

254
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:48,999
Yes?

255
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,799
Will you take over this farm for me?

256
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:55,559
A few years from now,

257
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:59,439
both your daughters
will have their own families.

258
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:02,479
Who will take care of you?

259
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:04,919
Please don't...

260
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:09,599
Tong, see?
I'm not the only stubborn one.

261
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:11,399
How am I stubborn?

262
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:13,839
I've already prepared my will.

263
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:18,159
Why live in a cramped apartment
in that "city from hell"?

264
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,439
How can you expect me to live here?

265
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,879
With all the ghosts and migrant workers?

266
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:27,999
Jaai is a good man.

267
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:30,879
You'll be fine.

268
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:35,959
After I've died,
I'll find my way back to help you.

269
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,159
How will you do that?

270
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:40,839
I'll be able to.

271
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,399
Living here
doesn't mean you're stuck here.

272
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:47,279
There's a temple about 30 minutes away.

273
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:49,879
You can learn to meditate there.

274
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:53,599
Once you've mastered it,
you can travel anywhere.

275
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:55,359
Uncle, Jaai's here.

276
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:01,239
Uncle!

277
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,039
What is that?

278
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,319
It's my son. He's called Boonsong.

279
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:13,239
Don't be afraid of him.

280
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:19,679
Uncle, it's a monkey.

281
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:21,719
I said he's my son.

282
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,559
And this is my wife, Huay.

283
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,839
I feel like the strange one here.

284
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:40,079
Jaai, thank you for taking care of him.

285
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:41,639
It's okay, ma'am.

286
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:43,799
It's my job.

287
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:48,599
In fact, I'm here to clean his kidney.

288
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:50,919
Is it already my bedtime?

289
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:44,759
Auntie Jen,

290
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,839
you're deliberately stepping
on these poor insects.

291
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:49,279
I'm not.

292
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:52,919
All these bugs and moths...

293
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:57,199
I know it's a country house,
but it's too full of...

294
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:01,679
Too full of what?

295
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:25,399
Jaai.

296
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:28,279
To protect you from pesticide.

297
00:36:28,720 --> 00:36:29,799
Thank you.

298
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,639
Auntie, I'm leaving soon.

299
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:46,159
- Where to?
- To register in Laos.

300
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:48,159
With a woman?

301
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:50,359
Of course.

302
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:55,519
I thought you might
register a car or a house instead.

303
00:36:57,720 --> 00:37:00,279
You can flirt with girls from here?

304
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:02,399
We telephone

305
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:04,919
and trade photos.

306
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,839
Does Boonmee know you are leaving?

307
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:12,199
I think so.

308
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:29,959
Auntie, a squash.

309
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:31,399
It's very big.

310
00:37:34,240 --> 00:37:36,639
Does Boonmee pay you too little?

311
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:44,599
Jaai, you don't have to be polite
with me.

312
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:58,519
I didn't realise
you were such landed gentry.

313
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:00,799
But I'm the real worker.

314
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:02,039
What are you doing?

315
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:06,159
Taking care of the tamarinds.
There are a lot of pests lately.

316
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:10,839
These grey worms
eat the fruit and the leaves.

317
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:12,639
Dung beetles too.

318
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:14,879
See?

319
00:38:16,720 --> 00:38:19,199
- A wormhole.
- The white one?

320
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:24,759
Our tamarinds are not
as good as those in Petchaboon.

321
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:31,199
What is it, Jaai?

322
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:33,919
This is Jen, Boonmee's sister-in-law.

323
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:36,599
Hello, hello everyone.

324
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:40,359
Nikom, come here.

325
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:43,039
Bonjour.

326
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:45,999
Why don't you speak?

327
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:48,239
Jen, this is Nikom.

328
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:50,439
He can speak French.

329
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:54,039
He swam over when Laos fell apart.
Right?

330
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:55,319
Yes.

331
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,759
He taught me a lot of French words.

332
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:01,639
Vous pouvez

333
00:39:02,240 --> 00:39:05,519
aller travailler maintenant.

334
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:16,959
- That's enough.
- How come?

335
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:22,559
- Interesting farm you have, Boonmee.
- Indeed.

336
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:50,039
- Hello, sir.
- Hello.

337
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:54,039
- Can we steal some honey?
- Go ahead.

338
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,799
There are still so many bees.

339
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:06,839
So many.

340
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:08,799
Run along.

341
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:14,199
See?

342
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:19,879
The local honey
tastes like tamarind and maize.

343
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:21,599
It is both sweet and sour.

344
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:23,919
- That's your idea?
- Of course.

345
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:25,359
Taste it.

346
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:30,599
Don't scrape the bottom.
The larvae are there.

347
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:32,759
The best parts are on top.

348
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:38,479
I made a mess.

349
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:47,039
It's as chewy as bubblegum.

350
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:49,839
After a long walk,

351
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:52,199
this is heaven.

352
00:40:55,240 --> 00:40:56,399
Yummy.

353
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:10,759
Come wash your hands.

354
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:22,959
Luckily, I'm using an anti-UV cream.

355
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:40,679
Jaai?

356
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:42,879
I'm at the honey shack.

357
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:46,559
Come over.

358
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:13,479
Need help?

359
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:15,919
It's okay. Jaai is on his way.

360
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:20,599
It's a burden, isn't it?

361
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:26,239
That's why I built this shack.

362
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:27,879
To lighten the burden.

363
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:33,879
- Where are you going?
- Be right back.

364
00:42:58,400 --> 00:42:59,719
Hungry?

365
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:03,519
Are you hungry?

366
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:05,719
Come here.

367
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:13,079
Have some.

368
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:16,999
Tasty?

369
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:20,719
Fetch.

370
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:49,719
Good.

371
00:43:58,600 --> 00:43:59,719
Jen.

372
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:04,519
You know, this is a result of my karma.

373
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:06,359
What is?

374
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:07,959
This illness.

375
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:11,119
I've killed too many communists.

376
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:15,999
But you killed with good intentions.

377
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:21,959
And I've killed a lot of bugs
on my farm.

378
00:44:24,240 --> 00:44:26,919
It depends on your intentions.

379
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:30,799
You killed the commies
for the nation, right?

380
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:32,599
Like my father.

381
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:37,759
For the nation? Or what?

382
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:40,519
What a pain in the ass.

383
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:45,479
I miss my father.

384
00:44:45,720 --> 00:44:46,799
You do?

385
00:44:47,720 --> 00:44:49,279
Back then,

386
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:53,479
the army sent him into the jungle
to hunt people.

387
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:56,599
But he hunted animals instead.

388
00:44:57,160 --> 00:45:01,719
He stayed there until
he could speak with the animals.

389
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:11,439
Did he visit you after his death?

390
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:14,519
No, once he was dead he was gone.

391
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:19,159
He didn't become a ghost.

392
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:35,839
- You have dog spit on your hands.
- Just eat it.

393
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:45,479
Deep down,

394
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:48,639
I know that reflection is an illusion.

395
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:51,079
Is it an illusion?

396
00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:56,959
You're the same person
I've always revered.

397
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:00,679
That's an illusion too.

398
00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:10,879
Were I not a princess,

399
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:13,439
would you say that?

400
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:22,239
Stop!

401
00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:25,159
Come back to me!

402
00:53:17,720 --> 00:53:19,599
You didn't look at me.

403
00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:27,999
You imagined kissing
the woman in the reflection, right?

404
00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:45,239
Leave me alone, please.

405
00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:22,799
Princess, don't waste your tears.

406
00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:32,839
Let me share in your sorrow.

407
00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:40,959
I've watched you ever since
you first graced this place.

408
00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:43,759
Why?

409
00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:46,279
Why look at me?

410
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:48,959
There's nothing worth noticing.

411
00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:53,239
Nothing? Your beauty is enchanting.

412
00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:01,319
Your view from underwater
must be so distorted.

413
00:56:02,560 --> 00:56:08,799
It's not. You saw your beauty
in the water, didn't you?

414
00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:11,879
Who are you?

415
00:56:12,720 --> 00:56:15,759
Are you some kind of ghost?

416
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:19,439
I'm not a ghost. I'm a catfish.

417
00:56:20,240 --> 00:56:23,079
You created the reflection, didn't you?

418
00:56:24,240 --> 00:56:27,759
Without you, I couldn't have done so.

419
00:56:29,720 --> 00:56:33,039
She seems to have everything I don't.

420
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:37,679
Most women don't have what you have.

421
00:56:39,640 --> 00:56:41,999
But they have love.

422
00:56:55,120 --> 00:56:57,079
Wait! Come back!

423
00:58:00,880 --> 00:58:05,519
Will you turn my body white

424
00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:07,479
and pretty like that reflection?

425
00:58:26,480 --> 00:58:28,239
These are my offerings.

426
00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:33,879
For you, Lord of the Water,

427
00:58:34,600 --> 00:58:37,039
to whom I am so grateful.

428
01:03:47,720 --> 01:03:48,959
Wait.

429
01:04:02,840 --> 01:04:03,919
Huay...

430
01:04:05,560 --> 01:04:07,879
I haven't much time left.

431
01:04:14,080 --> 01:04:15,959
When I was a student,

432
01:04:16,840 --> 01:04:19,319
giving presentations to my class

433
01:04:20,480 --> 01:04:23,879
made me so nervous

434
01:04:25,880 --> 01:04:27,439
I'd forget

435
01:04:27,600 --> 01:04:30,119
and leave my meal unfinished.

436
01:04:31,600 --> 01:04:34,119
When you're excited,

437
01:04:35,240 --> 01:04:37,599
you can't operate fully.

438
01:04:38,080 --> 01:04:39,719
In my case,

439
01:04:40,400 --> 01:04:43,159
I'm reduced to 20%.

440
01:04:43,560 --> 01:04:47,399
And it's happening now.

441
01:04:49,960 --> 01:04:51,519
Are you excited?

442
01:04:52,240 --> 01:04:53,759
Or afraid?

443
01:04:54,320 --> 01:04:57,439
It's like when I gave the presentation.

444
01:04:58,080 --> 01:04:59,359
How about you?

445
01:05:00,040 --> 01:05:01,839
Did you feel the same way

446
01:05:02,680 --> 01:05:04,879
when you were dying?

447
01:05:07,400 --> 01:05:09,039
I did.

448
01:05:10,080 --> 01:05:12,399
But I didn't dare let you know.

449
01:05:17,800 --> 01:05:18,959
Huay...

450
01:05:19,840 --> 01:05:21,999
I love you so much.

451
01:05:31,120 --> 01:05:32,919
I was so embarrassed

452
01:05:33,640 --> 01:05:36,119
when you appeared last night.

453
01:05:37,200 --> 01:05:38,399
Embarrassed?

454
01:05:40,280 --> 01:05:43,559
Look at my hands, my arms.

455
01:05:44,800 --> 01:05:48,639
I'm not the same.
Not as I was 19 years ago.

456
01:05:57,680 --> 01:05:59,599
Your hand is like ice.

457
01:06:08,800 --> 01:06:10,559
I don't know how

458
01:06:11,760 --> 01:06:13,439
I will find you

459
01:06:15,040 --> 01:06:16,959
after I'm dead.

460
01:06:18,520 --> 01:06:19,999
Where should my spirit

461
01:06:21,480 --> 01:06:23,519
go to look for you?

462
01:06:29,520 --> 01:06:31,039
In heaven?

463
01:06:40,480 --> 01:06:44,439
Heaven is overrated.
There's nothing there.

464
01:06:45,560 --> 01:06:47,239
Where are you then?

465
01:06:49,480 --> 01:06:52,319
Ghosts aren't attached to places

466
01:06:52,480 --> 01:06:54,519
but to people,

467
01:06:55,600 --> 01:06:57,199
to the living.

468
01:06:59,400 --> 01:07:01,399
But what if I'm dead?

469
01:07:35,720 --> 01:07:38,119
Fah went to Nok Island.

470
01:07:38,840 --> 01:07:40,919
Didn't she tell anyone?

471
01:07:41,720 --> 01:07:43,199
No, she didn't.

472
01:07:44,120 --> 01:07:48,279
Have you and Fah had an argument?

473
01:07:49,440 --> 01:07:50,839
No, we haven't...

474
01:07:53,880 --> 01:07:56,919
Suddenly, she disappeared like that.

475
01:07:58,240 --> 01:07:59,279
Jen!

476
01:08:00,320 --> 01:08:01,759
What is it?

477
01:08:01,920 --> 01:08:04,639
- I've something to show you.
- What?

478
01:08:04,800 --> 01:08:06,359
Come and look.

479
01:08:06,760 --> 01:08:07,959
Come quickly.

480
01:08:11,400 --> 01:08:12,679
Look at what?

481
01:08:20,840 --> 01:08:22,519
What is it?

482
01:08:22,680 --> 01:08:24,159
These things

483
01:08:25,480 --> 01:08:27,479
are all I have left.

484
01:08:33,440 --> 01:08:36,799
Why are you showing me?
I don't want them.

485
01:08:38,360 --> 01:08:39,999
It's time for me to go.

486
01:08:40,440 --> 01:08:42,119
Go where?

487
01:08:44,040 --> 01:08:45,119
Well...

488
01:08:45,600 --> 01:08:47,479
I don't know, myself.

489
01:08:50,480 --> 01:08:51,959
Come with us.

490
01:08:54,560 --> 01:08:55,679
Tong...

491
01:08:57,000 --> 01:08:58,879
Boonmee has gone mad.

492
01:09:00,320 --> 01:09:01,519
Huay,

493
01:09:02,320 --> 01:09:04,319
you're a ghost gone mad.

494
01:11:34,800 --> 01:11:36,119
Are you okay?

495
01:11:36,880 --> 01:11:38,159
Tired?

496
01:11:40,920 --> 01:11:42,399
Don't sit like that.

497
01:11:42,800 --> 01:11:44,079
Can I...?

498
01:12:08,480 --> 01:12:11,199
Auntie Jen? What's that sound?

499
01:12:28,560 --> 01:12:29,799
Auntie Jen...

500
01:16:51,640 --> 01:16:53,199
So many...

501
01:18:48,240 --> 01:18:50,039
What's wrong with my eyes?

502
01:18:53,800 --> 01:18:55,519
They are open

503
01:18:57,880 --> 01:18:59,839
but I can't see a thing.

504
01:19:04,840 --> 01:19:08,319
Or are my eyes closed?

505
01:19:09,600 --> 01:19:13,239
Maybe you need time for your eyes

506
01:19:13,800 --> 01:19:16,519
to adjust to the dark.

507
01:19:26,440 --> 01:19:27,839
This cave...

508
01:19:29,160 --> 01:19:31,679
It's like a womb, isn't it?

509
01:19:33,800 --> 01:19:35,839
I was born here

510
01:19:38,400 --> 01:19:39,839
in a life

511
01:19:41,920 --> 01:19:43,919
I can't recall.

512
01:19:46,680 --> 01:19:48,319
I only know

513
01:19:49,520 --> 01:19:51,399
that I was born here.

514
01:19:52,680 --> 01:19:54,759
I don't know if I was a human

515
01:19:55,640 --> 01:19:57,199
or an animal,

516
01:19:58,600 --> 01:20:00,319
a woman

517
01:20:00,480 --> 01:20:02,079
or a man.

518
01:20:10,240 --> 01:20:11,759
Last night,

519
01:20:12,720 --> 01:20:14,519
I dreamt of the future.

520
01:20:16,640 --> 01:20:18,399
I arrived there

521
01:20:18,560 --> 01:20:21,039
in a sort of time machine.

522
01:20:27,360 --> 01:20:29,039
The future city

523
01:20:30,320 --> 01:20:33,679
was ruled by an authority

524
01:20:34,080 --> 01:20:37,279
able to make anybody disappear.

525
01:20:52,000 --> 01:20:56,639
When they found "past people",
they shone a light at them.

526
01:21:01,920 --> 01:21:07,319
That light projected images of them
onto the screen.

527
01:21:08,680 --> 01:21:12,359
From the past,
until their arrival in the future.

528
01:21:21,680 --> 01:21:23,879
Once those images appeared,

529
01:21:24,560 --> 01:21:27,719
these "past people" disappeared.

530
01:21:36,280 --> 01:21:37,719
I was afraid

531
01:21:44,200 --> 01:21:46,519
of being captured by the authorities

532
01:21:47,320 --> 01:21:51,479
because I had many friends
in this future.

533
01:21:56,920 --> 01:21:58,239
I ran away.

534
01:21:59,040 --> 01:22:02,279
But wherever I ran, they still found me.

535
01:22:08,480 --> 01:22:12,319
They asked me if I knew this road

536
01:22:13,080 --> 01:22:14,679
or that road.

537
01:22:17,640 --> 01:22:19,879
I told them I didn't know.

538
01:22:23,480 --> 01:22:25,079
And then I...

539
01:22:25,760 --> 01:22:27,319
disappeared.

540
01:29:27,800 --> 01:29:30,119
Please have some boiled rice.

541
01:31:13,240 --> 01:31:16,039
Ms Arunee Srisuk.

542
01:31:18,960 --> 01:31:20,919
150 baht.

543
01:31:24,400 --> 01:31:27,399
Yingbuaban family.

544
01:31:29,800 --> 01:31:32,679
50 baht.
Such a big envelope!

545
01:31:34,320 --> 01:31:35,759
And then...

546
01:31:37,720 --> 01:31:39,559
No name.

547
01:31:39,720 --> 01:31:43,199
Oh, here it is. Roong Arpon.

548
01:31:45,800 --> 01:31:47,319
300 baht.

549
01:31:50,520 --> 01:31:53,039
- How much was it?
- 300.

550
01:31:53,920 --> 01:31:55,959
Anonymous.

551
01:32:00,440 --> 01:32:02,279
- Auntie Jen.
- 100 baht.

552
01:32:02,440 --> 01:32:04,439
When are we going to sleep?

553
01:32:05,200 --> 01:32:07,039
In a few days.

554
01:32:12,160 --> 01:32:15,199
No! You... That's money!

555
01:32:15,360 --> 01:32:18,039
Arrange those envelopes for me.

556
01:32:22,840 --> 01:32:24,239
Manop...

557
01:32:25,160 --> 01:32:27,759
There's no funeral book, is there?

558
01:32:29,000 --> 01:32:32,559
I don't know if Boonmee
has much money in the bank.

559
01:32:33,120 --> 01:32:36,439
If he has a lot,
I should make one for him, no?

560
01:32:37,080 --> 01:32:40,799
U p-country people
don't need that luxury.

561
01:32:43,720 --> 01:32:46,759
No one took photos at the funeral?

562
01:32:48,080 --> 01:32:49,759
A book...

563
01:32:52,240 --> 01:32:56,039
I didn't know him that well.

564
01:32:57,920 --> 01:33:00,079
What would I write about him?

565
01:33:01,320 --> 01:33:02,799
Just make something up.

566
01:33:26,320 --> 01:33:27,839
Brother Tong...

567
01:33:28,000 --> 01:33:29,439
Excuse me, Roong.

568
01:33:30,600 --> 01:33:32,159
What are you doing here?

569
01:33:33,200 --> 01:33:34,879
Why are you here?

570
01:33:35,400 --> 01:33:37,079
I can't sleep.

571
01:33:38,440 --> 01:33:42,319
As a monk, you shouldn't be here.

572
01:33:43,200 --> 01:33:45,279
What if people see?

573
01:33:45,840 --> 01:33:47,639
See you.

574
01:33:47,800 --> 01:33:49,599
See us.

575
01:33:49,760 --> 01:33:51,279
What would we do?

576
01:33:51,760 --> 01:33:54,279
So let me come in then.

577
01:34:02,760 --> 01:34:04,359
Can I put it here?

578
01:34:08,880 --> 01:34:13,639
Brother, you shouldn't be near us.

579
01:34:13,800 --> 01:34:14,959
Why not?

580
01:34:15,120 --> 01:34:18,279
You are a monk, not a man.

581
01:34:18,880 --> 01:34:20,439
Stop joking.

582
01:34:21,280 --> 01:34:23,839
The air conditioning is too cold here.

583
01:34:24,000 --> 01:34:26,079
Don't change the subject.

584
01:34:26,240 --> 01:34:29,119
That's because you have no hair.

585
01:34:29,280 --> 01:34:32,159
But it's blowing directly on my head.

586
01:34:34,080 --> 01:34:37,119
And you think you can sleep here, son?

587
01:34:38,200 --> 01:34:40,199
It's too scary at the temple.

588
01:34:41,440 --> 01:34:44,799
It's too pure for you perhaps.

589
01:34:44,960 --> 01:34:47,839
You like to be near the action

590
01:34:48,040 --> 01:34:50,759
and in the way of temptation.

591
01:34:51,640 --> 01:34:54,599
But, Auntie, I kind of understand him.

592
01:34:55,120 --> 01:34:59,279
My room doesn't even have a radio.

593
01:34:59,800 --> 01:35:02,039
Some monks have computers

594
01:35:02,200 --> 01:35:04,479
to check emails, chat on Hi-5.

595
01:35:04,640 --> 01:35:06,439
My room is dead quiet.

596
01:35:06,600 --> 01:35:10,599
Be patient.
You'll be out in a few days.

597
01:35:10,760 --> 01:35:12,039
Oh, Auntie.

598
01:35:15,400 --> 01:35:16,919
Where are you going?

599
01:35:18,000 --> 01:35:19,599
Can I take a shower?

600
01:35:20,920 --> 01:35:22,799
I want a warm shower.

601
01:35:23,520 --> 01:35:24,679
As you wish.

602
01:35:25,480 --> 01:35:29,239
I'll just think
I'm earning future merit.

603
01:37:36,720 --> 01:37:38,079
I'm freezing.

604
01:37:38,240 --> 01:37:39,839
Feel refreshed?

605
01:37:40,080 --> 01:37:42,199
Don't look. He's half-naked.

606
01:37:52,600 --> 01:37:53,919
Don't peek.

607
01:38:10,320 --> 01:38:12,519
Come on. Let's go eat.

608
01:38:21,320 --> 01:38:22,719
Roong.

609
01:38:22,880 --> 01:38:24,559
Let's check out the 7-Eleven.

610
01:38:24,720 --> 01:38:26,519
I'm not hungry yet.

611
01:38:26,680 --> 01:38:28,159
I'm hungry.

612
01:38:29,760 --> 01:38:32,999
Let's eat first.
Before I go back to the temple.

613
01:38:34,040 --> 01:38:36,359
I thought you quit monkhood.

614
01:38:36,520 --> 01:38:38,039
You're not afraid any more?

615
01:38:38,640 --> 01:38:41,559
No. I've showered.
Now I'm hungry.

616
01:39:02,520 --> 01:39:04,159
You smell like lemongrass.

617
01:39:04,320 --> 01:39:07,359
- My shoes?
- No, your body odour.

618
01:39:12,280 --> 01:39:14,599
The soap is old-style.

619
01:39:14,760 --> 01:39:18,159
Good.
It'll help chase away mosquitoes.

620
01:39:18,320 --> 01:39:21,399
But it makes you
smell like tom yum soup.

621
01:39:21,560 --> 01:39:22,879
I'm edible.

622
01:40:05,880 --> 01:40:07,799
Tong, let's go and eat.

623
01:40:30,360 --> 01:40:32,359
Tong, let's go eat.

624
01:40:34,080 --> 01:40:35,199
Come on.

625
01:41:16,960 --> 01:41:18,839
- Want to sing?
- No.

626
01:41:19,000 --> 01:41:21,359
- Pick a cue.
- Why don't you sing?

627
01:48:27,000 --> 01:48:28,759
