It is interesting to see the way in which the Thai media perceives the childhood "games and gangs" of young Thai kids. This particular movie is more indicative of a Thai rural setting than an urban setting because the kids are riding outside together on the open road rather than watching movies or playing video games in doors. Many of the jokes are similar to those used by children in the United States. The boys pick on each other for liking a girl and the big bully tries to boss everyone around. The gang calls the bully “Huan Dom” which is an insulting phrase that literally means "Fat and Brown." This represents the characteristics that are least desirable in Thai culture in regard to weight and skin culture.
