The Red Envelope
Menn (Billkin Putthipong Assaratanakul), a habitual mobile phone thief, becomes a police informant in an effort to reduce his potential sentence. One day, he accidentally comes across a mysterious red envelope (angpao), which forces him to form a bond with the ghost Titi (Krit Amnuaydechkorn). Menn must help Titi uncover the truth behind the accident that claimed his life so that he can finally rest in peace. All the clues surrounding Titi’s death lead to a drug trafficking case being investigated by Menn and police officer Goi (Arachaporn Pokinpakorn), a woman Menn is attracted to. Menn’s adventure begins as he sets out to help Titi while simultaneously trying to solve the drug trafficking case that could advance his career.
