Official Review

‘P’ (the Thai word for ghost) is the tragic story of Dau, a young Khmer teenager from the remote Thai jungle. In search of money for her grandmother’s medicine, Dau travels to Bangkok. There she meets the tough and sexy Pookie who takes Dau under her wing and shows her the ins and outs of prostituting herself at the “P” go-go club. The only thing that the shy, naïve Dau has going for her is that her grandmother was a witch who taught her ancient magic. Dau uses her powers to 1) make herself irresistible to the sleazy foreign Johns who patron the bar and 2) seriously fuck up those who wronged her; namely the catty older girls and the sleazy foreign Johns.
