Yes, please add Thai as an audio language.

I'll back this, and with a good reason.  Unlike so many requests for languages which are specific to a geographic region, this one's having impact globally.  With the rising popularity of Tony Jaa it's likely that we'll continue to see Thai movies released overseas.  Thai movies are becoming increasingly popular.  Three examples I can immediately think of are:

Ong Bak
Tom Yum Goong (US: The Enforcer / UK: Warrior King)
Tears of the Black Tiger

Actually, Tom Yun Goong's US title is The Protector, not The Enforcer (which was one of the Miramax renames of Jet Li's films).

My bad.  Was in a hurry.  My point still stands

Quote:
Not only do we need it for the US releases (the films of Pen-ek Ratanaruang, Panna Rittikrai, Apichatpong Weerasethakul, etc.), but also for its own locality, which often have English subtitles.  This is important since it draws alot of international attention toward their product, rather than just local.

I think the section underlined is of high importance in this instance.  Oh, and "Not only do we need it for the US releases"?  How about R2 UK, R4 AU, etc.?

I wrote "US" when I meant to say "Western".  I actually have a few Thai films from R2 UK (it is the only place I could find with a widescreen version of Bangkok Dangerous).

Interestingly, when I was digging through some of my boxes I had stored away recently I found an old copy of "Asian Cult Cinema" magazine from about six years ago.  There was an article about the impending explosion of Thai Cinema on the international market, citing films like Tears of the Black Tiger, Bang Rajan, Bangkok Dangerous and 6ixtynin9.  Of course, it still hasn't happened, but thanks to Tony Jaa and Panna Rittikrai, more people are starting to take notice.
