Since she appeared in my film in 2009, Jenjira Pongpas has changed her name. Like many Thais, she is convinced that the new name will bring her good luck. So Jenjira has become Nach, which means water. Not long after, she was drifting online and encountered a retired soldier, Frank, from Cuba, New Mexico, USA. A few months later they got married and she has officially become Mrs. Nach Widner.
The newlyweds found a house near the Mekong River where Nach had grown up. She spends most of her day crocheting baby socks for sale, while he enjoys gardening and watching television (sometimes without the sound because most of the programs are in Thai).
Cactus River is a diary of the time I visited the couple—of the various temperaments of the water and the wind. The flow of the two rivers—Nach and the Mekong, activates my memories of the place where I shot several films. Over many years, this woman whose name was once Jenjira has introduced me to this river, her life, its history, and to her belief about its imminent future. She is certain that soon there will be no water in the river due to the upstream constructions of dams in China and Laos. I noticed too, that Jenjira was no more. –Apichatpong Weerasethakul

In The Pilgrim Kamanita, a Buddhist novel written in 1906 by the Danish writer Karl Gjellerup, the protagonists are reborn as two stars and take centuries to recite their stories to each other, until they no longer exist.
Morakot is a derelict and defunct hotel in the heart of Bangkok that opened its doors in the 1980's: a time when Thailand shifted gears into accelerated economic industrialization and a time when Cambodians poured into Thai refugee camps after the invasion of Vietnamese forces. It was a hosting time. Later, when the East Asian financial crisis struck in 1997, these reveries collapsed.
Like Kamanita, the unchanged Morakot is a star burdened with (or fueled by) memories. Apichatpong collaborated with his three regular actors, who recounted their dreams, hometown life, bad moments, and love poems, to re-supply the hotel with new memories.

阿彼察邦的《M 酒店》，以他拿手的遊蕩，把油麻地轉化成神秘領域。

在泰国与缅甸边境的某处，住着一种被称为Nok Phii（幽灵鸟）的生物。又或者说，那儿曾经有过。如果真的存在Nok Phii，那么它会成为除了加拉帕戈斯群岛上的吸血鸟类以外的唯一一种靠吸食动物鲜血而生存的鸟类。在数个当地盛传的传说中，Nok Phii被描绘成一种具有强烈攻击性的夜间掠食动物，在有些故事中，它们甚至会袭击人类。2007年，泰国北部居民中有人在远山中目睹了一对雌雄Nok Phii。据推测，这很有可能是世界上仅存的一对Nok Phii。这种体型小眼睛大的鸟从来没有被捕获过，不管死活。也没有任何遗骸可考。在没有确切证据的前提下，这种鸟或许只是丛林中散发的危险有人气息的一个虚拟产物。“吸血鬼”只是对于这种鸟和它的习性的一种梦幻描述，电影中远航而寻求财富之人的虚幻印象而已。
