Satang

Just after World War II ends a train carrying freshly minted banknotes in wooden cases leaves Hat Yai for Bangkok. Soon after it leaves the station the officer in charge of the detail with his friends kill those guarding it and steal all of it. However in the ensuing confusion they lose it and others hide it. However even they cannot find it later until many years after they begin a new search. The officer who planned the entire scam hears about it and follows them. Who will get the money?

Directed by Bhandit Rittakol, Satang leans on a strong ensemble — Jesdaporn Pholdee, Patson Sarindu, Khemapsorn Sirisukha — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2000.
