DORM:

I still remember the first time I left home.

It was a Sunday afternoon...

that felt both hectic and lonely.

It was the last day...

of the mid-term break for me

and my seventh grade friends.

It felt like the last day of freedom...

A freedom we'd come to enjoy during our vacation.

Stop crying!

You didn't get any work done over vacation.

One thing I felt that...

I'd never come to terms with is...

- How do you want it cut, handsome?

- Crew cut.

the last day of vacation...

Even so...

some of us can't wait for school to re-open...

because it means being

reunited with our friends.

Except for me.

Hey! Stop pressing the buttons!

Jaew! Pen! Take good care of the house!

Yes, ma'am.

You know, we could've waited for Ton...

to finish 7th grade before

transferring him to another school.

The sudden move is a shock for me as well.

Listen, this isn't open for discussion, understand?

Ton's new school is up-country right, Dad?

Yes, it's in Chonburi, son.

Where will he sleep?

In the school dormitory.

They have everything there.

Remember, son, a man

must be able to live anywhere.

Are we almost there?

No, we have to cross the Bangpakong River first.

Hurry up and make a wish, Toh!

If you hold your breath as we cross the bridge...

whatever you wish for will come true.

Really, Mom?

But don't cheat and sneak a breath first.

Ton, hold your breath too.

What did you wish for?

For Dad to send me to boarding school with Ton.

How about you, Ton?

Saichon Witaya School

Toh, play around here, okay?

Student Dormitory

Good afternoon, Teacher.

I'm Miss Pranee...

the dorm master for junior high boys.

This must be Chatree.

Yes, ma'am.

Parents, please wait here.

Chatree, follow me, please.

Don't dilly dally now.

Hey, it's a new kid.

Where's he from?

He seems like a troublemaker.

This is your bed.

Go collect your blanket.

Make sure to make your bed every morning.

Every boy must take care of himself here.

No one will serve you or

pamper you like you were at home.

Dad has written your name on everything.

Study hard, son.

Don't get into trouble, okay?

Please keep an eye on him.

I will.

Don't be so noisy.

Chatree, follow me.

Dinner is served at 6 p.m.

Everyone must eat on time.

This is your seat. Sit down.

Next term, I'm sending Ton to boarding school.

Why the sudden decision to send him away?

Mother...

this new school has high

standards and a good reputation...

unlike his current school.

The kids don't study hard enough.

Before exams, they play around and watch TV.

But they still get good grades.

That means the school has low standards.

This is Chatree.

Your new classmate.

Chatree will board here and study with us...

starting from this term.

Go take your seat.

Chatree, Master Peng is calling.

My name's Peng.

That's Dr. Nui.

This idiot is Sarote.

That ass is Pok.

I'm Toei.

What's your name?

Chatree.

His name's Chatree.

Okay, Chatree.

Are you scared of ghosts?

Of course, why wouldn't he be?

I'm not asking you, idiot.

Are you scared of ghosts?

Good. As we've been here longer...

we're gonna tell you the history of our school.

I just found out myself.

I'm sure you guys haven't heard it.

A senior told me that...

one of the cooks had a beautiful daughter.

She was the crush of every boy in the school.

But one day...

she hung herself...

from a Po tree.

No one knew why she suddenly killed herself.

When the police conducted an autopsy...

they discovered that she was...

four months pregnant.

A pregnant ghost is the nastiest kind around.

The story goes, a group of senior boys...

wanted to find out the truth.

One... two... three...

What did they see?

No need to go to the Po tree.

There are ghosts in the dorm.

Someone once saw an old man...

walking around the dorms at night.

At first, no one knew who he was.

But when they looked in old yearbooks...

they found out that...

he used to be the dorm master.

You've got the chills, Master Peng.

Hey... bugger off.

Have you guys ever noticed...

that if you pee in the bathroom at night...

it seems like you're not alone.

Remember...

Any night the dogs howl in unison...

stay away from the bathrooms.

Hey, do you guys know...

why our school had to build a new swimming pool?

Because a student drowned himself...

in the old pool behind the school.

Did you know...

he was in 7th grade just like us?

Most importantly...

he used to board in this dorm.

So they shut down the pool years ago.

A senior told me that...

Miss Pranee almost went mad.

Yeah, that's when she became weird.

And she still hasn't recovered.

Do you know how weird she is?

Have you seen the old record player in her office?

She likes to listen to this one sappy love song.

It gives me the creeps.

One day...

someone saw...

Miss Pranee staring and crying at an open drawer.

To this day...

nobody knows...

what the hell is in that drawer.

Maybe there's a magic genie.

Magic genie, my ass.

After awhile...

you'll see for yourself, Chatree.

I bet that...

Miss Pranee had something

to do with the boy's death.

And that boy's ghost is a vicious one.

Anyone who slept in his bed...

was kicked out of it every night.

Finally, they had to put the bed in the storage.

But...

I saw the janitor bring his

bed out from the storage today.

Boys!

Bed time is for sleeping.

Anyone who can't wake up tomorrow...

will get whacked.

Hey... the new kid wet his bed!

All grown up and still wetting his bed.

The new boy wet his bed!

Damn it!

Hey... if you hang it up that way...

it'll just fall to the ground.

The clothesline is a battle zone.

If you're going to make space you have to be tricky.

And you only need one pair of bathing shorts.

One pair will suffice.

Or else every pair will get moldy.

Hey, do you guys smell something?

No...

That's not it.

I know. It reeks of his piss.

I see all the ghost stories

made you wet your pants.

Make fun of the new boy, everyone.

Pok, why are you laughing?

Your mouth stinks pretty bad as well.

Is it broken?

I don't know. Maybe I can fix it.

You know how to fix it?

I'm not sure but I'll try.

can I try playing it?

Sure.

Chatree, you have a phone call.

It's your dad.

Chatree Anantpitisuk, your

father is on the dormitory phone.

Chatree Anantpitisuk, your

father is on the dormitory phone.

I brought you some sweets.

Don't let me catch you again.

If you get bad grades this year...

I'll really punish you.

Chatree isn't here right now.

Would you like to leave a message?

No, that's okay. I'll call back another day.

Thank you.

Hey... who's there!

Open the door!

A**hole, just wait until I get out!

Hey!

Open the door!

That was awesome.

Just a few ghost tales and he peed his pants.

What a sucker!

Hey, open it please.

Hey...

Woke up late?

Yeah.

You're real curious about Miss Pranee, aren't you?

Watch out, okay.

Sure.

Do you know why Miss Pranee's so weird?

There are lots of theories.

Worst of all are the ghost stories.
