It is described as “one of the most startling and original feature debuts of recent years",[1] and received its world premiere on 10 October 2009 at the 14th Busan International Film Festival in South Korea. It was the first Thai film to receive the country's most restrictive viewing rating, due to a scene of full-frontal male nudity and masturbation.[2][3]
Mundane History won the Tiger Award at the 2010 International Film Festival Rotterdam.[4]

Made for $150,000, Mundane History was financed by the filmmaker's family and friends as well as grants and awards from the Hubert Bals Fund of the Rotterdam International Film Festival.[7]
Featuring a scene of full-frontal male nudity and masturbation, it was the first Thai film under Thailand's motion-picture rating system to be given the most-restrictive 20+ rating.[2][3]
