At the event, they greeted their Indonesian fans before the movie started. “Hello, Indonesian fans! I’ve done a lot of comedies, but this is my first horror-comedy. I want to make sure it’s both scary and funny. It’s all about balancing the humor and the horror,” said Ter Chantavit at the CGV Grand Indonesia on Wednesday, January 8, 2025.
He also reminisced about his first visit to Indonesia nine years ago. “I’m really excited because it’s been nine years since I first came to Indonesia.

Ter Chantavit admitted that the warm reception from Indonesian fans had surprised him. “I’m from Thailand, and I didn’t realize how well-known I was. When I came to Indonesia, there were so many fans, and I even get tagged on Instagram,” he said.
Director Pichaya Jarusboonpracha also shared his reasons for making this film. “This is my first time making a film. My inspiration was to create a fun story that could make people laugh and scream from the horror. I wanted to hear the audience’s reactions,” he explained. He handpicked the cast for 404 RUN RUN, saying, “This is my first film, so I wanted to make it with people I know, with the right jokes. If Ter wasn’t in it, I wouldn’t have made the film.” He hopes his debut film will be well-received and that it will bring laughter and screams from the audience.
404 RUN RUN is set to premiere on January 15, 2025. Besides Ter Chantavit, other top Thai stars like Thanaerng Kanyawee Songmuang, Daou Pittaya Saechua, Arethai Supathat Opas, and Nui Chernyim also star in the film. Indonesian artists Abidzar Al Ghifari and Adzana Ashel are also involved.
The 2-hour horror-comedy film is Pichaya’s first film project. He is a renowned director in Thailand, known for directing popular dramas such as Hormones 2 (2014) and Quarantine Stories (2020).
According to Cinema XXI, 404 RUN RUN follows the story of Nakrob (Ter Chantavit), a property agent who often deceives his clients into buying buildings he offers. One day, Nakrob comes across an abandoned building in a remote area, which the owner is selling quickly. The building is a former hotel named Sukhee Nirun. Nakrob discovers that the hotel is haunted, but this doesn’t stop him from wanting to buy and profit from it. However, things don’t go as planned because the ghost of a woman from room 404 at Sukhee Nirun Hotel becomes angry and refuses to leave.
The exorcism of the woman’s ghost becomes the central premise of this film. The battle for control of the hotel between humans and ghosts will be filled with comedic moments mixed with suspense, resulting in both thrills and laughter.
