Mekong Hotel is a portrait of a hotel near the Mekong River in Thailand’s northeast. In the bedrooms and on the terraces Apichatpong held a rehearsal with his crew for a movie that he wrote years ago called Ecstasy Garden. The film shuffles different realms, fact and fiction, expressing the bonds between a vampire-like mother and her daughter, young lovers and the river. Mekong Hotel, shot during Thailand’s heavy flooding, also weaves in layers of demolition, politics and a drifting dream of the future.
