The People's Choice Award went to "The Banquet" (China), fest's opening film.
Event, backed by the Tourism Authority of Thailand, is in its fourth year. Fest director Kriengsak "Victor" Silakong said the Thai public was seemingly more aware of the festival this year and 70% of the available tickets were sold.
