Thai BL/Gay - BL and Gay dramas and movies from Thailand
BL/Gay themes movies, dramas and short movies from Thailand.
For a comprehensive list of Asian (China including Taiwan and Hong Kong), Japan, South Korea and Thailand; see my huge list (793 titles and counting) for Asian BL/Gay movies and dramas. Also see my separate lists for each country.
List will only contain titles in which BL/Gay/Male Bi couples/characters/themes, have at least a somewhat prominent role.
***(Titles with (only) Trans characters; not included--a Trans woman who loves men is straight, not gay.
Crossdressing has nothing to do with gender identity so titles with cross-dressing guys who like guys; included.
Bodyswap is (reluctantly) included.
Bromance if there is an implication that it is/will go beyond friendship)***
*Adding titles and comments every now and then.*
My ratings are pretty harsh at times, but I judge by quality, not by how much I like/dislike it. Also by intention. Don't compare cinematic masterpieces with light-hearted romcoms. That's not fair. Judge by what they were intended to be.
Note; To make it simple; I'll just call BL, even if it would be more correct to say; stories about guys who are attracted to guys.
"Gay theme" and BL are two different things.
But as long as one can tell fantasy from reality--it's a convenient word.

301. The Right Man - Because I Love You
Thai Movie - 2016
This is lovely. With a runtime of only 15 minutes--it feels like a full movie. There would have been enough to make one. And it would have ended up MUCH better than the majority of BL flicks churned out by Thailand through the years. A sweet, pretty deep yet easy-going coming-of-age story and a couple I really wish we could have seen more of.
Production is pretty standard for a short, but well planned since the story is well fleshed out for its short runtime. The lovely little Boy Sompob song "Jigsaw Heart" fits the feel and story perfectly.This is feelgood.

302. The Right Man - Christmas Gift
Thai Movie - 2016
Short
-
303. The Shipper
Thai Drama - 2020, 12 episodes
Not BL, per se, and seems to revolve around BL fandom and includes female-male body-swap, but also has "gay character/relationship" listed, so probably a bit of both.
Either way, the themes qualify it for the list... (And it has Ohm. That in itself, is enough.)Upcoming May 22nd 2020.
-
304. The Underwear
Thai Drama - 2017, 10 episodes
-
305. ThirTEEN Terrors
Thai Drama - 2014, 13 episodes
Not BL--but the last episode is about a teen BL couple. This episode is a short version of the movie "The Blue Hour"--also on this list.
(I love this series. A collection of urban legend-style little horror stories, of which some are really great and would make for awesome full-length horror flicks.)

316. Um Conto de Mil Estrelas
Thai Drama - 2021, 10 episodes
So far--I love this. Love it. Love, love, love it.
Love the story, love the direction, love the OST/score, love the cinematography, love the setting, love the script (for most part), love the acting, love the cozy, lovely, happy, sunny feel, love how it makes me smile.
I even kind of love Earth in this one--and THAT'S a first for me...
Basically; a whole lotta' love.
This one's a keeper, even if there is potential for a derailing further down the line. -

320. Vinho Tinto na Noite Escura
Thai Movie - 2015
Okay, I hate vampire themes. I especially hate vampire themes paired up with BL.
But this would have been crap even if I DIDN'T hate vampires.
This is bad. Seriously so. The only redeeming thing would be Fluke, since he's a decent actor.

323. Wake Up Ladies 2: Very Complicated
Thai Drama - 2020, 10 episodes
Upcoming sequel season for "Wake Up Ladies". Perhaps Mr. Love's own relationship gets a bit more focus in this season?
-
324. War of High School The Series
Thai Drama - 2016, 12 episodes
Another one I haven't watched--and am a bit unsure of about the actual gay content. It's not BL, that much I know. But supposedly gay character(s?).
And it has Ohm... (Which for me is enough of a reason to watch it, when I can get around to it.)
-
325. Water Boyy The Movie
Thai Movie - 2015
I really don't like this movie. It's not utter junk, there are some nice themes there, but it's just not executed well. Ngern isn't a very good actor, nor are the others in the cast. FAR too much filler junk scenes, far too messy, far too random.
One plus is the focus on the main couple--something we don't get as much of in the drama series version--but I'd still recommend that one instead of this.One of the couples featured in the drama version--in this one, is... kind of creepy. (The huge age gap one.) I'm ambivalent. On one hand, it's somehow cute and touching. (The old guy, that is. The young one is much less likable in this one than Toptaps adorable version in the drama.)
In other ways, it makes me cringe. -
326. Water Boyy The Series
Thai Drama - 2017, 14 episodes
I don't like the movie, so I wasn't thrilled about the drama, but this isn't half as bad as I thought it was going to be. Definitely one of the better ones in the big bunch of the more mediocre Thai BLs.
I like the setting (because I love sports BL) and the plot is acceptable, but too much focus on the side couples (two straight, one gay/BL, one hinted BL one and a GL one) but their stories were fairly interesting, at least enough so to make me watch them and not fast-forward to the next BL scene. Unfortunately, the most interesting side couple got far too little time--as to not spoil, let's just say "the (huge) age gap one". At first it made me cringe a little bit, but then it was the sweetest ever and I would've loved to see their own story. Toptap is unforgettable as one of the two guys in that couple.
Acting is decent to very good, from most involved. New is adorable and even though I'm no fan of Earth, he does a pretty good job here, and the chemistry between him and New is quite nice even though I prefer New with Tay. (The "Kiss" series.)
Music and score was decent, directing and production pretty good. -
327. What the Duck The Series
Thai Drama - 2018, 20 episodes
The drama apparently is based on the content of a long thread posted on the Thai discussion forum Pantip--ages ago. It has a previous adaptation, in movie-form; "Boring Love" from 2009.Also has a S2.
I have no idea why there are people who actually consider this good. I just can't...
I rewatch the Mew-scenes. Other than that; nope. It could have been so much better if it had skipped some of the ridiculous comedy parts and kept a TINY bit more of a serious tone... It's messy and uneven and just... no. The small parts that are good, just can't save it for me.Epic though; some sex- and kissing scenes... Not very many BLs that have dared to top them so far. (Not all of them are exactly... aesthetically pleasing, but the ones that are, are pretty damn fricking' hot...)

328. What the Duck: Final Call
Thai Drama - 2019, 8 episodes
Season 2. See S1 for comment.

329. Why R U? : The Series
Thai Drama - 2020, 13 episodes
I reluctantly love this...
Okay, this isn't that GOOD, per se--it's messy and far from perfect in execution, but it's more like... a parade of BL, BL, BL.
I can't resist this shameless poking fun at the BL fandom. Here you have ALL the tropes, ALL the stereotypes, all which is ridiculous about BL, fanservice and insane Fangirls/Boys. Served with a huge portion of sarcasm and self-awareness--it's just pretty much hilarious.I'm a Fangirl, but still, I despise a lot about the BL fandom. I see real and troubling issues in many of the tendencies surrounding shipping and delusional fantasies. At the same time, I can't help but laugh my ass off at the insanity. Because it IS funny.
So to make a drama that highlights the stupidity--is entertaining. Though, this one does it lovingly, not nearly as venomously as I do :P
So, you are served; A shitload of couples (too many) of different types, in every single super-trope scenario/coupling you can think of--generously sprinkled with intense kissing, a bit of groping, silly crotch-shots and jokes, sweaty/freshly-out-of-the-shower male bodies, slip-and-catches, running-in-the-rain, accidental "kisses", piggy-back rides, the now "classic" array of engineer boys, guys-with-guitars and soccer players, gratuitous-but-oh-so-rewarding cameos by iconic BL couples, super-cheesy dialogues and sugar-sweet moments, crude sexual innuendoes and everything else.
Huge plus for some of the hottest scenes in any Thai BL to date. I will never be able to wrap my head around how Saint, with his innocent baby-face looks, can look so lethal when he turns the switch. (And his crazy versatility. I mean... from Pete in LBC, to this?)
I love it.
NOTE; Watch the special episode before you watch the drama. It will make everything easier to follow. -
330. Why R U? Special
Thai Special - 2020, 1 episode
Watch this before you watch the drama. It really makes it easier to understand, since the actual drama is a HUGE basket of couples and the plot could be very confusing at first, unless you have some kind of idea of the basic plot premise.
