Ethnographic Arms & Armour - View Single Post - A Film Worth Seeing for SE Asian History Lovers

The story of the famous Thai king, Naresuan, was released in Thailand a few years ago, but was exclusively in Thai. So far the story has been broken down into 2 parts with 2 more installments to come, part 3 currently out now in Thailand.

Late last year the film was released in the US with English subtitles as Kingdom of War Pts 1 & 2.

The film would be worthwhile for anyone interested in SE Asian history and features the wars between the Thais and the Burmese, but also brings in the various hill tribes and other ethnic groups of the region, including the Naga.

There is considerable attention paid to detail and this is a big budget and epic production. It will be a weapon lovers eye candy, especially part 2.
