Thailand over one year and covers the three seasons that Bangkok typically experiences – summer, winter and monsoon. It chronicles the life of a young high school student, Pom, and his impulsive decision to attend a music school, unbeknownst to his parents, because of a girl he's secretly liked for three years, Dao. At the music school, he befriends Aom, who eventually becomes his best friend at the academy.

Cast
Reception
This movie was generally well-received by its target audience, and it quickly became a favourite among Thai adolescents for its loveable characters whom many found easy to relate to. The soundtrack was also popular among teenage movie-goers as it borrowed from a hit single by pop singer-songwriter
Boyd Kosiyapong.
Film critic Sorradithep Supachanya wrote: "The story is clearly cliché and the title hopelessly unoriginal (it shares the title with one of the most popular, and overplayed, Thai songs in the country’s pop music history); yet, with the director’s brilliant mix of picturesque landscapes, beautiful music, and plenty of harmless humour,
Seasons Change turns out fresh, sweet, and heartwarmingly enjoyable".
DVD release
In 2006 the film was released in Thailand as a VCD and a two-disc special edition DVD. In addition to the original movie, the first disc of the DVD edition contains a host of special features, including a photo gallery, deleted scenes, director commentary and music videos. The second disc features an interview with the director and the leading roles of the movie. This is presented in a multi-angle format as the audience is able to switch between camera angles during the interview. During the entire interview, the movie as the cast comments on each individual scene. The audio soundtrack and subtitles are only in Thai; no English-language features are available.
