... on YouTube now, with english subs. Not sure how long it's been there, but I vaguely remember some queries about it.
It's just OK really, a bit poorly edited, story line much the same as quite few other Thai gay movies where boy meets boy. But no ghosts (a blessing), and the usual longish getting-to-know-you scenes when in fact it screams out for-god-sake-get-on-with-it scenes. But it can be quite touching at times, and the two main players (Nam and Meauk) have a decent amount of the right chemistry, as well as just the right amount of the obligatory shyness, without being maudlin.
The English sub titles are far from perfect, but that goes for most Asian movies, most of the time.
Water Boyz on YouTube is not one long movie but 5 parts which take up about 20 minutes each ... a process which is only a minor pain in the ass. There is an all-in-one version also on YouTube, but it does not have English subs. Up to you.

OH think you just are pitching it because it is "set" in Hua Hin!!!
Many thanks for the link. Old Dad just loves Mr. Earn!!

Yes, I noticed that. Quite a number of shots are familiar, and the beach scene ~ i.e. a dozen Thai guys having a drunken beach conversation, in which all of them are talking/yelling at each other, nothing of which is recognizable as actual human speech ~ is definitely a part of a stroll on the beach.

Actually, Hua Hin has a reputation as a kind of 'movie town'. Many TV commercials are filmed here, and some movies as well. The beach is quite lovely for a 'city' beach, though I would guess it's about expenses as well: HH is only a 3 hour drive from Bangkok.

[correct title: Water Boyy รักใสใส วัยรุ่นชอบ]

Thank you for sharing, downloaded and will watch some time.

I noticed the 5 parts add up to 64:33, whereas the Thai version on youtube is 1:52:48, and
http://www.majorcineplex.com/movie/water-boyy says 120 minutes.

But rejoice! There is a version with English subtitles in 2 parts and full length here:

Thanks for that link. I wonder what scenes the longer edition (the no subs version) has?
The English sub titles still suck, but better easier all tied together.

Thanks to you Guys, or Men...
Yes it seems the movie without Subtitles is longer.
Anyway, I will have to view the post from christianpfc
