Sayang Awak, Sayang
SUATU tragedi yang menyayat hati terjadi menyebabkan Junaira dan Haziq yatim piatu, lalu tinggal di rumah Datin Ros yang sangat baik. Tetapi Nazif... menyampah sangat dengan mereka berdua. Asyik menjeling sahaja. Suka cari pasal pulak tu! Bagi Junaira, kalau nak lawan api, mestilah dengan air. Sebelum anak Datin Ros itu kenakan dia, dia mesti kenakan Nazif balik. Bila Nazif cuba menyakitkan hati Junaira, hatinya sendiri yang sakit. Junaira suka berloyar buruk. Juga suka buat lawak yang entah apa-apa. Tetapi kadang-kadang dia berasa lucu juga. Namun, amanah Datin Ros yang mahu dia mengahwini Junaira, bagai satu malapetaka baginya. “Aku tak faham kenapa aku disuruh kahwin dengan kau. Sebab aku sayangkan mummy, aku terpaksa terima jugak. Hati aku ni sakit setiap kali pandang muka kau tu, sakit sangat. Semuanya disebabkan kau tu...” Walaupun Junaira tahu kesudahan hubungannya dengan Nazif, cinta untuk lelaki itu kekal tersemat dalam jiwa. Sehinggalah akhirnya, dia tahu kenapa Nazif membenci nya.
Boys Love Media in Thailand
Author: Thomas Baudinette
language: en
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
Release Date: 2023-10-05
Over the past several years, the Thai popular culture landscape has radically transformed due to the emergence of “Boys Love” (BL) soap operas which celebrate the love between handsome young men. Boys Love Media in Thailand: Celebrity, Fans, and Transnational Asian Queer Popular Culture is the first book length study of this increasingly significant transnational pop culture phenomenon. Drawing upon six years of ethnographic research, the book reveals BL's impacts on depictions of same-sex desire in Thai media culture and the resultant mainstreaming of queer romance through new forms of celebrity and participatory fandom. The author explores how the rise of BL has transformed contemporary Thai consumer culture, leading to heterosexual female fans of male celebrities who perform homoeroticism becoming the main audience to whom Thai pop culture is geared. Through the case study of BL, this book thus also investigates how Thai media is responding to broader regional trends across Asia where the economic potentials of female and queer fans are becoming increasingly important. Baudinette ultimately argues that the center of queer cultural production in Asia has shifted from Japan to Thailand, investigating both the growing international fandom of Thailand's BL series as well as the influence of international investment into the development of these media. The book particularly focuses on specific case studies of the fandom for Thai BL celebrity couples in Thailand, China, the Philippines, and Japan to explore how BL series have transformed each of these national contexts' queer consumer cultures.
Geek in Thailand
A Geek in Thailand is a light-hearted but perceptive look at one of the world's most visited countries from the viewpoint of a young foreign resident. More than just a Thai travel guide, it offers a concise but insightful take on Thailand for tourists, expats, would-be expats, and others--anyone, in fact, with interest in visiting or learning about the Land of Smiles. Packed with short articles accompanied by sidebar stories and interviews and evocative color photographs, the author paints a vivid and revealing picture of a country built on a deep reverence for nation, religion and monarchy, yet with its own distinct, individualistic perspective. Subjects range from the touchstones of Thai culture and history, such as its politics and economy, Buddhism and folklore, to chapters on traditional Thai design and craftsmanship, including its highly acclaimed architecture and fine silk textiles. There are also chapters on the globally popular Thai food and entertainment like kickboxing and cabaret. Chapters on the Thai character and cultural do's and don'ts will allow the reader to go beyond the Thai smile. For visitors to the country, the author includes his top ten things to see and do in the main tourist destinations as well as an account of the main festivals and tips on getting around.
