Abstract
This chapter examines queer representation in Thai cinema and the possibilities for the emergence of a movie scene that better reflects the diversity of queer life in Thailand. It examines movies with representations of male-to-female transgender kathoeys and male homosexuals, although tom-dee lesbians also appear in a number of the films. The movies considered are divided, first into a group of mainstream films produced by Thailand's major studios—Iron Ladies 1 and Iron Ladies 2 (2000 and 2003), Saving Private Tootsie (2002), Beautiful Boxer (2003), The Last Song (2006), Metrosexual (2006), Me . . . Myself (2007)—and second, into the category of independent films including Tropical Malady (2004), Rainbow Boys (2005), and Silom Soi (2006).
