Jaidee always wanted to be a zookeeper. And he works at a zoo…as a janitor.
When a farang makes Jaidee a dangerous offer, the money is one thing…but his girlfriend, Mazy…Jaidee's never seen a woman like that.

When I went to Mexico City, I spent a whole evening at "lucha libre" pro wresting. I loved it! I think it's great, when you realize it's entertainment. The problem is that the American public has lost the thread and think it's the way the country should be governed.
