‘Will You Marry Monk?’: a hilarious rom-com about forbidden love

Movie fans are advised to get ready for a laugh-out-loud romantic comedy with a unique twist. 'Will You Marry Monk?', a co-production by five major Thai production companies, is set to hit cinemas on March 6.

The five companies include Transformation Film, Black Dragon Entertainment, Nation Group (Thailand), Prakotkarndee and Gear Head. 

The film follows the chaotic journey of Luang Phi Pae (played by Pae Arak Amornsupasiri), a strict Thai Buddhist monk. His world is turned upside down when he receives news from his sister Aom (played by newcomer Aom Kornnaphat Sethratanapong) living in Japan. Aom is getting married, and Luang Phi Pae must travel across the sea to attend her wedding.

Accompanied by temple layman Ta Song (Jaturong Mokjok) and the mischievous temple kids Ueng (Jack Chaleumpol Tikumpornteerawong) and Tode (Ohm Thanapak Jongjaipra), Luang Phi Pae arrives in Japan only to discover a shocking truth – Aom's fiancé is Monk Chin (played by Fei-Patara Eksangkul), a Japanese monk with a mysterious past as a gangster.

While the love between Aom and Monk Chin may not be forbidden by the monastic community itself, a laywoman marrying a monk is certainly a social faux pas. Determined to prevent what he believes to be a disastrous union, Luang Phi Pae embarks on a hilarious mission, facing cultural clashes and comedic situations along the way.

The film's first teaser, launched on Friday, has already generated buzz with its quirky premise and stellar cast. The teaser features not only the established actors Pae Arak and Fei-Patara in their monk roles but also introduces the comical gang of students, adding another layer of humour to the story.

'Will You Marry Monk?' promises to be a heartwarming and side-splitting romantic comedy that will leave audiences entertained. Mark your calendars for March 6 and get ready to witness the clash of cultures and the fight for love in this Thai film.
