Final salute to Colonel Bird
Lt Col Wanchana Sawasdee, better known in Thai showbiz circles as “Colonel Bird”, is among the very few men in uniform who have hit the Thai silver screen. Colonel Bird was excited when Chatrichalerm Yukol, director of the King Naresuan films, chose him for the lead role. Yet in the initial stages, he couldn’t help but regard the project as just another military assignment.
