More good stuff from Jiangtou, who just keeps on rolling around Asia ...

Jiangtou here, reporting from Phutek, Thailand. Yes, Phuket of recent
tsunami infamy.

If you want to find ghosts, come here. Getting off in the Phuket aeroport, you can feel something in the air. I can just imagine ghosts of tourists waiting for the stand-by flights that they can never board...

You really can't tell anything happened here. the chilling reminder was in the hotel where I was stay, in the dining room for breakfast I saw French army personnel with "VICTIM IDENTIFICATION UNIT" jackets. There are some toursits, but not too many. Honestly, the best thing to help this island is tourism cash. To stay away will only hurt the economy and social life even more.

Having a day visit to the set of Pen-ek's INVISIBLE WAVES starring Gang Hye Jung from OLD BOY, Asano Tadanobu (ICHI, ZATOICHI and the upcoming TOKYO ZOMBIES) and the DOP is Chris Doyle. Right now we are shooting in Patong, in the gay bar district. It is 10am, so things are still quiet, but lots of lady boys and neon signs advertising "Bar for Men". When the extras stripped down to their underwear, you could tell you were on a Pen-ek film!

While Asano was taking a break we were talking film and the subject of the great Rock and Roll zombie film, WILD ZERO came up as it was also shot in Thailand (with Thai military and their familes playing the gut munchers). Asano just informed me that two days ago, the bassist for Guitar Wolf passed away of a heart attack! Wah? They only played Toronto two weeks ago! A very sad day for Zombie and Rock fans alike. My time at this internet cafe is short, but once I get some time I will drop more details like the upcoming project of the directors of SHUTTER, MAID, the new film by the director of
IRON LADIES and more.

your man in southeast asia,
Jiangtou
