A gay romantic crime action drama, it is the story of a man who falls in love with a gunman assigned to kill him.

Mhok is HIV positive, as the result of sexual abuse by his and Maek's stepfather, and their mother is dying of AIDS.

Maek's dream is to take his mother and brother away from Bangkok to the mountains of Mae Hong Son Province.

But after Maek's mother overhears that Mhok has prostituted himself to survive after contracting AIDS from his stepfather, she commits suicide by hanging herself.

The brothers take her down, and as they are rushing her from the apartment, she is killed by a gunshot fired by an unseen sniper.

Mhok commits suicide while at a Hospice of Watphrabahtnamphu in Lopburi because he no longer has the energy to fight his disease.

But before the two men can leave to start their life together, Maek is shot dead by a single bullet fired by an unseen assassin.

The weekly BK Magazine stated that the film suffered from being overly melodramatic, but praised the cinematography by Tiwa Moeithaisong, which "turns Bangkok into a character in its own right.

LGBT-related website Fridae praised Bangkok Love Story as "the boldest Thai gay movie to date."

It additionally praised the film for being a departure from the Thai LGBT genre, which generally features coarsely stereotyped kathoey transvestite caricatures.
