Bangjong's first feature film, Shutter, with a story about ghost images in photographs and a haunted photographer (portrayed by Ananda Everingham), was the biggest box-office hit in Thailand that year, and also a hit in Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines and Brazil.

The two teamed up again in 2007 for Alone, which also was a box-office hit and played at many film festivals, including the 2007 Bangkok International Film Festival, where it was in competition for Best ASEAN Film. Alone has been remade in two other languages.
Bangjong's 2013 film Pee Mak became Thailand's highest grossing film of all time, and was the first Thai film to be screened in every Southeast Asian country.[3][4]
