Description

Sahamongkol Film International Co. Ltd. (, also Sahamongkolfilm, Mongkol Film or SM) is a Thai motion picture production and distribution company. It is the leading movie company in Thailand, ahead of GMM Grammy's GDH 559, Five Star Production and RS Film. The company is privately owned and run by its founder and chief executive, Somsak Techaratanaprasert, who is also known as "Sia Jiang". The company's films include the international hit martial arts films ''Ong-Bak: Muay Thai Warrior'', ''Tom-Yum-Goong'' and ''Chai Lai'', and the ''Nak'' animated movie, as well as recent romantic comedy hit drama film ''First Love''. It distributes foreign films in Thailand through its Mongkol Major distribution company. In the 1980s, after the Thai government relaxed import tax policies on cultural imports, Sahamongkol became the primary Thai distributor of major American film studios at the time, which included TriStar Pictures, New Line Cinema, De Laurentiis Entertainment Group & Orion Pictures.

  • Romantic comedy film poster which features 9 Thai teenager characters in a group pose, forming one large heart with their hands. At the center of the heart, one teenage character poses on their own, making a rock-and-roll hand formation. The characters have fair skin and exaggerated blush, and they all give their own stylized cheeky smiles. The edited and vignetted background contains highly saturated grassy fields, with a bus and a cow peeking out from behind. All of the text, written in a colourful bold font, is in Thai.

    Set in a northeast province of Thailand called Maha Sarakham, Hug Na Sarakham is a romantic-comedy that tells the variety of love and complicated relationship among teenagers who fall in love.
