Production.
The film represented a comeback for actor Nappon Gomarachun, who last worked in the film industry five years ago. He said that Director Rachi Kusonkusiri wanted to make the film, and it reflects how common disagreements between parents and children in Thailand were.
Reception.
The film was released on 22 October 2015. Madame Aung Tour, writer for "Thai Rath", said that while the title "Water Boyy" created the impression that the film is about swimming, it is more about a father-son relationship and also a love story. She recommended the film for its atmosphere. "Coconuts Bangkok" stated that without the LGBT theme, the film would be a generic love story.
