Thai GL(s)/Sapphic Content that Aired Pre-GAP

GAP's release in late 2022 was one of the catalysts for the start of the GL industry. While the series deserves a ton of credit, I noticed recently that there hasn't been a lot of discussion about (or knowledge of) many different Thai GLs or sapphic works that appeared pre-GAP. So, this list is intended to highlight a wide variety of different "earlier" films and shows that contain sapphic representation. In some of them, sapphic women appear as side characters, or aren't necessarily a major focal point of the story. In others, instances of queer representation might be slightly more complicated or troubled. (I've indicated this whenever I possibly could in the comment section down below. I should also note that I added some of the dramas based on their tags- so please let me know if anything is inaccurate!). Regardless, I hope this list serves as a good starting point.Not on MDL:Sawasdee Khun Khroo / Hello Teacher (1978) [Link] [Article] - need to double check Wai Rean Pean Rak / Crazy Love Student (1985) [Link] [Article]One of Claire Jirassaya's early films: Welcome Home (2012) [Link] [Article]Change A Tomboy Into Her (2016) [Article] (TW)Other:Toms: The Complex World of Female Love in Thailand (2015) [Link]Visible Silence (2015) [Link]To Add:Khung Pad / The 8th Prison (1974)Hua Jai Tee Mai Yak Ten / Weary Heart (1977)Matador Jom Pean / Crazy Matador (1985)Hor Sao / Female Dormitory (1984)Wiwa Pa Fun / Dreamy Wedding (?)(These are all films that potentially contain instances of sapphic representation, and that are mentioned in the chapter "Thai Film Archive and Early Thai Queer Cinema" [except for the last entry, which was mentioned in this article])
