When he briefs his superior about it, the jerk responsible overhears and sends men after Yamada, who is saved when Kham (Thanawut Ketsaro) and a few other residents of Ayothaya use their superior Muay Thai skills to save him. He is taken inside the peaceful village and nursed back to health by Kham's sister, Champa (Kanokkorn Jaicheun). As he regains his strength, he is surprised how receptive everyone is to his presence. No one seems to mind that he's not from their country. When fully recovered, he decides to try his own martial arts skills against Sua (Buakaw Banchamek), best in the...
