The Thai-language paper Khom Chad Luek (also owned by The Nation) had the same story, but reported that "after checking" they found that the billboard is to promote the new film Suriyakart (Solar Eclipse) that will open October 14. It seems that both articles are identical except that the one on The Nation site omits the line in the first and last paragraph about the billboard being for a film (or perhaps The Nation article was rushed online before the source of the billboard was checked).

The title of this movie, Suriyakart, is a word playing. It comes from suriya (ÊØÃÔÂÐ [N] ; sun) + kaat (¦Òµ [N] ; death; end; disaster).

SuriyakRaat (ÊØÃÔ¤ÃÒÊ ) means solar eclipse.

I just saw this movie, Ong-Bak, a week ago. I know, it was released in Thailand almost 2 years ago. It's a really cool movie. Tony Jaa, the lead actor, is awesome. And I just learned that this movie was released in the US yesterday (Feb 11, 05) and was quite warmly welcomed by most American movie critics (as one of its reviews posted on the 2bangkok.com main page).
