The Lost Lotteries is a comedy movie written and directed by Prueksa Amaruji, starring Wongravee Nateeton, Phantira Pipityakorn, Napapa Tantrakul, Padung Songsang and Somjit Jongjohor.
A comedy with an colorful ensemble of characters who find themselves in unfortunate circumstances, and tells their story with comedic distance, jokes aplenty, and silly gags. But always with kind irony.
Premise
Five strangers team up to recover their winning lottery tickets from the mob boss who stole them from them. Together they must scheme and carry out their first heist ever.

By no means is it a high-brow comedy, as it borders clownish humor. But its tempo is good, it is incessant, and mocking of the self pity the characters are going through.

Netflix is broadening its original content output from Thailand, a country with a history of punching above its weight with original genre filmmaking, TV production and creative advertising.
Netflix has produced and released a smattering of individual originals from Thailand over the past few years — including reality series The Stranded and crime thriller Bangkok Breaking — but the lineup unveiled by the streamer at a glitzy event in Bangkok Tuesday evening represents its first full Thai slate. The slate includes four films and two series.
“From broad comedy to twisty thrillers, this is our most diverse lineup of titles to date in Thailand,” said Netflix’s director of content for Thailand, Yongyoot Thongkongtoon.
“While we explore class disparity in culinary film Hunger, pay homage to itinerant mobile film troupes in Mon Rak Nak Pak and follow the emotional journey of strangers pretending to be a family in Analog Squad,...
