Top Secret: Wai roon pun lan

As a citizen of Thailand, I brand this work as the best piece of filmmaking works that came out of Thailand to date. The world has seen countless Thai films with higher production quality and full of eccentricity. Quite a lot of ghost stories and mindless comedies. Some propaganda works for the Thai royalty. But this one means business. Not just a commercial sense, which is actually the theme, but conveying some thoughts as a struggling society as never before. Thailand is not prettier or uglier than what it really is. Top is just a boy who faces a tough situation around his family and school life, and he stumbles and rises a few times before discovering the way out and his character through a business that seems to cut out for him. The Chinese Thais are truly like that. The joy of middle-class life, business rise and fall, family's ambition for the children, fight to grow together as a family and separately as an individual. The aforementioned is revealed in the film realistically and truly. An enjoyable film. Almost a thriller in the business world. Anyone who finds it boring clearly doesn't care to live his or her life to the fullest.

Well, sure the fact that this movie is based on real events is actually interesting enough. And thumbs up to the guy who persevered here and rose to become a billionaire. But was it a story that was becoming of the screen? No, not really.

The storyline just fell completely short of providing me with any sense of entertainment or enjoyment. So writer Nawapol Thamrongrattanarit didn't really deliver anything grand here. And it was such an insanely slow paced movie that it was hard to stay awake and focused on the things on the screen.

Director Songyos Sugmakanan didn't really deliver a riveting movie with "Top Secret: Wai Roon Pun Lan" (aka "The Billionaire"). But hey, I am sure that there are some out there in the audience with an interest for business and financial investments that might get a kick out of watching this movie. However, I was expecting a proper movie to be entertained by, and instead I was served a plate of financial investment mogul. Sorry, but no deal here.

I've seen actor Pachara Chirathivat in other movies, in which he was much more enjoyable to watch on the screen.

"Top Secret: Wai Roon Pun Lan" just wasn't aimed at me as a target audience, so I can't say that I was entertained or impressed with this 2011 movie.

My rating of "Top Secret: Wai Roon Pun Lan" lands on a two out of ten stars.

This movie was really hit me so hard.

The story is really great, how Tob can strongly act as a stubborn, also his parents too. Many messages given by this film, and really he is my new inspiration.

Strong story, perfectly acted, but -1 on how his campus life / friendship doesn't explained well. But, its really worth to watch!

Itthipat Peeradechapan aka Tob, is the entrepreneur who started Tao Kae Noi, the famous flavoured seaweed snack. When I watched this Movie based on his life, it did not say anything about this until the 2nd half.

"The Billionaire (2011)" illustrates how different and difficult his life was as a Youth. Although his lack of motivation not to study is never an ideal, but definitely his willingness to make mistakes to succeed in business.

I love watching Thai Movies, because they have a way of storytelling, whether it is Comedy, or Horror, and in this inspirational one, Drama, based on the life of a Person. You may want to watch this with your Family. Enjoy. ; )

AMAZING!! This is the first Thai movie that i have ever watched in my life which was worth watching.This movie has so many messages, my jaw dropped when I got to know that it is based on a true story! just amazing! Ittiphat Tob is a big inspiration, he got deceived several times, fell down so many times, still he didn't give up instead stood up and worked hard to reach his goal which actually seemed impossible for a teenager! he jeopardized his future by not attending university classes,he didn't have a university degree but still how amazingly he achieved success and got rid of debt ,and now he is more like a billionaire!

There were so many parts in the movie that moved me. Everything looked perfect,the plot was amazing as well as the acting.Pachara Chirathivat is a great actor, played his role very well.
