‘JAN DARA’- Steamiest Version of Famous Thai Erotic Tale
I'm just back from the premiere of the steamiest version of possibly the steamiest (and cruellest) novel in Thai literature 'Jan Dara' .
The story of a sex-crazed house where a father despises his son and sexually lures every woman he encounters, of older women who seduce young boys, of maids who beckon virgin-masters, and servants who violate virgin mistresses. This is not a ...
