Thai Town is a six-block area near Hollywood, Los Angeles, which is home to over 50,000 expatriated Thais. The town is such a gateway for Thais entering America, it was dubbed Thailand's 77th Province. This film follows a Thai family as they struggle to survive in Los Angeles' fast-paced consumerist culture while maintaining traditional values. The identity struggle between Thainess and the high-octane way of life on the west coast of America, defined by hip-hop, drugs, street racing and violence, affects Pat, a good boy tempted by a life of crime, and his sister.
