 Top Secret also known as “The Billionaire”. This movie is Thai biographical movie that produced by GTH Thailand. It played by Pachara Chirativat Somboonsuk Niyomsiri (aka Piak Poster) and Walanlak Kumsuwan. It  was released on 20 October 2011 in Thailand, where it grossed 38,796,264 baht.
This time, one of the largest movie GTH Thailand issued the next teen movie debut. But this is not just any teen romantic comedy movie as like  Bangkok Traffic Love, Hello Stranger, and Suckseed.  Movie The Billionair (Top Secret) is autobiographical movie about the struggle of a young man called Top Ittipad.  Before watching usually someone picking a good movie to watch what kind of ideas, story-telling, graphics, and inspiration of what bias obtained.  But,  just looking at the trailer, we have been very interested about it.
            Top Secret, made with the cooperation of Top Aitthipat, goes a different route, and doesn't shy away from showing how arrogant and reckless Top was in his youth.


            So there's a perfect story arc, which begins with Top's early success in making stacks of cash from online gaming and dropping out of business school. He then makes uninformed business decisions and lots of mistakes in his first venture of roasting chestnuts. Meanwhile, his family has been ruined financially by his own father's failed business. Eventually, Top stumbles onto fried seaweed snacks, and by trial and lots of errors, comes up with a way to cook and package them. Much of the story is told in a flashback, by the 19-year-old Top to an impatient banker. Just as the loan officer is hoping to get rid of the kid, the irrepressible Top somehow reels the guy back in.

            Top Secret is also notable for showing the inner-workings of Thailand's 7-Eleven corporation, with Top wearing out an office lobby seat while waiting for a chance to talk to the lady in charge of accepting new products. An exacting inspection of the factory doesn't go well, and Top runs the risk of making his first delivery late and getting off on the wrong foot.
            Through his experiences in starting his business in his teens and becoming a (baht) billionaire by the time he was 26, the headstrong Top is taught many lessons in humility.
            Carrying the movie is mop-headed young actor Patchara Chirathivat in his second big movie role after studio GTH's fun rock 'n' roll love story SuckSeed earlier in the year. It's been said the scion of Thailand's Central Department Store family was inspired by his own relationship with his father in the portrayal of a son who never quite measured up to his dad's expectations.
            But the real revelation of the movie, it's heart and soul, is Somboonsuk Niyomsiri, an 80-year-old acting newcomer. But he's better known as Piak Poster, the director of a string of popular teen-oriented comedies and dramas in the 1970s. In Top Secret, he plays Top's kindly "uncle", who's there every step of the way for Top, helping to hawk roasted chestnuts, fry seaweed and sleep on the floor of the factory shophouse.
            This good biographycal movie is recomended for teens and young bussinessman who want to reach success. As like Top, he never tired to try even he get fail in many chance. Because in our life we have dream. And we need “struggle” to make it come true.
