I've written about this quite a lot.

The genre came out the world of Japanese manga for girls and featured stories of impossibly beautiful boys and youths involved with each other and sometimes older men. The term was a direct translation of the Japanese shonen ai which literally means Boy Love (or Boys Love) and made more "fashionable' by rendering it into English -- hence Boiz Laabu. I don't want to repeat what I wrote earlier, but the genre was enormously popular in Thailand (as well as the rest of East and SE Asia) and the Thais started making their own versions -- and turned it into an industry backed by the largest media empire in Thailand. It's a fascinating phenomenon. I devoted a long post to it here: https://secure.boychat.org/messages/1635189.htm (also linked below). Posters who expect films featuring boys at or below puberty will be disappointed (the original Japanese manga did feature such -- even primarily -- but of course those were drawings -- they still managed to attract the attention of the global thought police.) Actual boys did sometimes show up in the Thai films but usually in minor roles. But while a number of the films are little more than standard LGBT "coming out" fare, many of the films are set in high schools (and Thai boys all wear uniform shorts to school -- lots of smooth bare legs!) and TBLs will certainly get off on some of them -- I particularly recommend Only Boo! (discussed in the post below). My School President and Hit, Bite. Love (which includes a couple of actual boys just into puberty) will also tug the, uh, heartstrings of many here. In a long post entitled "Escpaing Oreintation" ; https://secure.boychat.org/messages/1635189.htm I wrote about what is probably the best done (from a cinematic perspective) of all these videos; the 2020 I Told Sunset About You. It is a genuine masterpiece dealing with sexual identity and deception. The story revolves around two high school seniors who had been best friends as grade school boys and then had a falling out -- circumstances bring them back together and both old rivalties and old affection resurface. The opening segments feature two boys of 11-12 (very good actors and very, very cute) SR (Boychat.org link) Thailand acknowledges boys are hot
