The Teacher's Diary (Thai: คิดถึงวิทยา; RTGSKhit Thueng Witthaya) is a 2014 Thai romance drama film directed by Nithiwat Tharathorn. It was selected as the Thai entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 87th Academy Awards, but was not nominated.[1][2] The film was remade in India as Notebook, released in March 2019.

The film is based on a real life teacher of a houseboat school, Ban Ko Allocated School (Ruen Phae Branch), on the Ping River at the Bhumibol Dam in Mae Ping National Park in Li district, Lamphun province. The motif of a left behind diary is based on an incident from the marriage of a producer's friend.[3][4][5][6]
