who the hell is Sirirat Rapsithorn?


according to IMDB this is the "actress" that played Pla...what gives?

reply

maybe that was her real name, but had an alias "pla" for working as a bargirl so that the westerners could more easily pronounce her name.

I noticed that too...

From my experience, bar girls don't use aliases. They use their real names. Also, this "documentary" is listed as a Drama. I've never known a documentary to list the people in the program as cast members but Sirirat Rapsithorn IS listed as a cast member.

If nothing else, there has been enough doubt cast upon the guy who made this short movie to leave him with no credibility at all. I consider him to be a con man. I'm glad I didn't pay to view this short movie.

Pla is a nickname meaning 'fish' (almost all people in Thailand - not just the bargirls - use nicknames).
