After studying the Thai images through the differences between the novel and film, it was found that there were a few changes in the theme, concept, and character roles. However, there was a great difference in the representation of Thailand.
The purpose of this research was to examine the differences between the novel and the film version of Sayonara Itsuka in order to analyze the changes in the representation of Thailand. According to the results of the study, it was found that the film version avoided representing Thailand in negative images, for example, deleting scenes about prostitution in Thailand. On the other hand, the film chose to represent Thailand in a more exotic way than the novel. The factor that made the representation of Thailand in the film differ from the novel was the cooperation between the writer (Japanese) of the original work, the film production team (South Korean), and the sponsors (Thai). In the end, the cooperation between each party created a new perspective of the representation of Thailand.
