There was a beautiful young woman from Germany I met on a flight to New York. I chatted her up and we quickly fell into conversation. We had such a good time; laughing and talking so much that the flight attendant had to tell us to keep it down. She said she felt like she had known me for a long time. I thought there was a connection between us. RIGHT up to the point where we landed and her boyfriend met her at the gate to pick her up...

Pete's is a fictional character. But there's a lot of Pete's out there.

This was my second time watching Songkran, and the first time I watched it, I focused on the relationship between Pete and Mai, what should've been and couldn't be. But this time, about a year later in my life, the most significant part of the film turned out to be Pete's smile as he said "don't worry about it, I've got time," to his driver. Although I am so young, I spend so much time fretting about what needs to happen and the things I need to do to get there, while I should really be spending more enjoying all the opportunities I come across, such as Pete did as he decided to explore the rural town in Thailand instead of continuing his unpleasant work experience.

Pete: I am inevitable.

I think Mai has issues not being thought about. She’s frustrated with her husband, and maybe her life, and is the one talking about jumping, “to the other side”. Pete is a typical guy in a foreign land. He’s got his work issues and is a bit lonely and falls in love too easily. At least Pete jumped. Mai remains stuck in her situation, in an unhappy marriage and not willing to jump, so she encourages him to jump. Living vicariously through others. Great story and excellent actors. First time watcher but subbed up for the next one.

That's an interesting take. It seemed to me she felt free, enjoyed her work (by the way she described her passion for making coffee), and had time to enjoy life, go to her friend's bar, enjoy a night out in town with a random stranger, and still come back home to her family. She was not complaining about her situation, so I'm curious how you deduced she was stuck and unhappy. Is she stuck and unhappy because she has a husband and child? To me, she felt for him because he was obviously sad; on the surface, he had this amazing job where he gets to travel and discover new places and people, yet he didn't seem to enjoy it; and he was stuck because of the fear of the unknown (didn't know what else to do). She therefore gave him the logical advice, which is to take a leap of faith.

Last year I met a girl in German class at university, it began with just a hi and our names. The next week we started talking, grabbed a drink after class and chatted for an hour or so and exchanged numbers. That night she invited me to "study" in the library but when we met up we knew no one was going to study, we walked around campus together. With small breaks sitting, the conversation ran more fluently and comfortably than I could ever imagine. A few days later I asked her out and took her for some ice cream and a surprise picnic under a tree by a river. A week went by with alot of hours together. She asked me out for a movie that we enjoyed and afterwards we walked through campus holding hands sharing thoughts. One night was cold and we cuddled together, neither of us wanting to say goodbye till about 3 am. It was the first time I have ever experienced something like this, someone truly enjoying me and wanting to spend time with me. I asked her out to a dance and surpised her with a small succulant plant because she loved gardens and plants. We enjoyed the night of the dance ending it with another movie as it was our last night together before we went home for vacation (living far apart). We fell asleep together about mid way through so I took her home. We said our goodbyes. After 1 day back home I saw her on instagram kissing her boyfriend.

Then I saw the director's name in Thai after which all my wonder disappeared. This kind of plot twist is so common in Thai films that every Thai has been subconsciously attuned to it at this point. Edited: I just realized there’s a hidden message in this movie. The woman's name, Mai, means "new" in Thai. So she symbolizes a new chapter in Pete's life. But that might as well be a coincidence.

Mai looks like and reminds me of an amazing woman I knew through work. She was smart, kind, and full of energy. We got along great and I appreciated the time she gave me. It was never romantic but even after she stared a life with a co-worker, she still made me appreciate the small connections we still had. Some people are just a blessing to have as small roles that make our lives bigger. Sincerely, thank you to all the Mai's of the world.

That went side ways QUICK…. She’s playin games. He needs to grow a back bone…. And yet…. Awww, i wanted to hug them both and say it gets better. I’m glad she’s not disrespectful to her relationship. I’m glad he took her encouragement instead of dwelling on what could have been. Very decent people, both of them. ☺️😇☺️😇 good job Omeleto.

She was SO pretty but SO duplicitous, to hubby AND her baby son. No loyalty in the world today. Aside from this disappointment i enjoyed it immensely - thanks Omeleto.

A wonderful story. Not about romance, but helping each other see life in a more fulfilling and liberating way… 🇬🇾

I loved the ending. If wasn't what we expected but she taught him to live

I don't know how I feel but I've got to be honest. I've been single for a long time after a near fulfilling relationship but have never really met anyone the same way again. These movies are so well made that we forget to appreciate them. Instead we start to look for these in our own lives, and that's something that might not even happen. How crazy is it that a clip like this sends us down an emotional lane we love and we hate. Was that even the 'jump' that Pete wanted? What was she hiding from? And the hug?! Was as beautiful as it could get, but messed both each other up. Do we even try to fall in love? Do we engage our 'brains'? I feel a little hollow inside. Man, I must stop watching these. And someone hold Omeleto responsible, please 😃

Plot twist: He misinterprets "Just jump" and just jumps off the building they visited.

Never too late to rekindle

Good story, although the ending was disappointing. I understand not every story is "happily ever after". I'm thrown off by the female protagonist actually being married with a kid. Its perfectly fine that she went out alone for the night, and again no issues in her inviting the foreigner to join her. People are gregarious and meeting new people sharing thoughts and interests especially cross culturally is great. I enjoy learning about differences & similarities, etc... You may even find yourself somewhat attracted to them. BUT she absolutely should have disclosed the fact that she is a married woman. I feel it was very disrespectful to her husband, and extending to her family. Additionally deceptive was the lack of information shared during the night out on the town. I enjoyed the sights of Bangkok and it was nice to see a connection between the two characters. Very well acted, and believable roles. Thank you👏

That's the point... the story has less weight and no conflict if there was no ambiguity and shock behind her actions, which is arguable, reality. Emotional struggle creates chaos in decisions, which is why we admire and see strength in those who do the "morally" correct decision (morally in quotes bc our morals are not black and white always, but often colored in grey). This makes the story true interesting art bc its messiness is real. edit: in my opinion lol

I know the feeling Pete!! Please make this into a longer movie!! It was wonderful!!❤️❤️❤️

It's a good short movie and Mai cared about another human being and tried to encourage Pete to see beyong his blurred views of his predicament. She wrote Jump, I take it to mean jump out of your slumping life. Hope to watch more similar series in the near future. Good work to all the people there.

Having lived in Thailand for about 12 years I can confirm this kind of thing happens almost everyday ! The writer and director has also seen the same thing many times over and they captured the essence of a stranger in Thailand perfectly ! The moment Pete stepped out of the taxi and got his first experience of Bangkok in between rain showers he was seduced, there was no hope for him and he would fall for the first girl that showed any interest in him. Mai also recognised the symptoms of a man about to be absorbed by the romance of her exotic land and was happy to be a part of that experience for one evening, especially as her husband was preoccupied, she meant no harm but also was clearly not looking for anything more. Pete was tired of his job and was not appreciated by his boss so it wouldn't take much to set him free, Thailand is a great place to get away from it all !

She didn’t friendzone him, rather she was living a fantasy for one evening as well, otherwise she’d have had no reason to pretend in front of her husband like she didn’t know Pete.
