At the start of the movie, a man talks about
the Janturugkabart people, a group of ferocious
warriors whose courage and valor were admired by
people from all over. He further explains that
the first Jaturungkabart warriors were formed in
1605, after the Thai army suffered mass elephant
casualties during war. Their only purpose was to
protect the elephants and take good care of them.
For this, they developed a brutal form of martial
art called Muay Thai. Hearing this, his son,
Kham becomes intrigued and expresses his desire
to be one of them. He then forms an inseparable
bond with a male elephant named Por Yai.
In the next scene, Por Yai wanders into the
woods with a female elephant. This worries
Kham, as he assumes his friend is leaving him,
but his father calms him down, mentioning
that Por Yai will come back. The movie then
cuts to a few years where Por Yai and the female
elephant, Cup, have given birth to a healthy calf
named Kohrn. Kham has also grown up to become aÂ
deadly Janturugkabart warrior. One day, as Kohrn Â
is grazing in the field, some poachers suddenly
surround him. But before they can take him away,
his parents rush to rescue him. As the poachers
begin to flee, one of them accidentally fires his
gun, and it hits Cup. Unfortunately, she passesÂ
away, and little Kohrn is left without a mother. Â

Kham is devastated by this, but he vows to
protect Por Yai and Kohrn at any cost.
A few weeks later, while Kham is out with
Kohrn, his father approaches them and
mentions the importance of strong elephants. HeÂ
reveals that the best elephants in the country Â
are selected for the royal king. For this, a
very intense selection process is conducted,
and only the mightiest of elephants can pass.
In the next scene, Kham’s village starts preparing
for an annual festival named Songkran water
festival. Meanwhile, Mr. Suthep, a local MP,
is throwing a huge party to celebrate him becoming
a member of the new Thai government. It’s rumored
that they are going to check the elephants for
royal status. A local lady encourages Kham to take
his elephants to participate in the competition.
Kham reluctantly agrees to take part because he
doesn’t want to get separated from his beloved
elephant but also knows that it’s the right thing
to do. He apologizes to Por Yai in advance if
he’s not able to see his calf Kohrn again. On
the day of the festival, Kham and his father take
Por Yai to Mr. Suthep and his son Koi. Strangely,
Koi tells Kham to wait outside, and takes the
elephant and Kham’s father inside the park, where
they have kept other elephants. Meanwhile, Kham
wanders around the market with the baby elephant
and buys him a bell. The man-animal duo then enjoy
blind boxing. However, Kham gets engrossed in the
game and the baby elephant wanders out on his own
following a group of mischievous children.
At the park, one of Suthep’s men makes Kham’s
father sign some papers that he can’t read
and asks him to go back home. Sensing that
he’s being fooled, Kham’s father protests
and attacks the MP’s son; however, the
latter gets enraged and shoots the old man.
This in turn angers the elephant and he
starts chasing the man and his henchmen.
Amidst the chaos, a group of men kidnap the
baby elephant wandering outside and take off.
Kham eventually locates his father and before
he passes out, he tells Kham about Por Yai.
Meanwhile, the giant elephant spots the kidnappers
and chases them throughout the city. However,
the poachers dart the elephant and disappear
with both the animals. A few days later,
Kham’s father eventually recovers and they
perform a traditional Oracle ceremony,
which is done to find lost souls.
In the next scene, Kham somehow learns about Koi’s
whereabouts and raids his boat house. The poachers
attack him and a long struggle follows. Kham is
severely outnumbered but he manages to beat up the
bad guys. At last, Koi tries to shoot him but Kham
effortlessly confiscates his gun and intimidates
him into revealing that the elephants are in the
hands of Johnny, a Vietnamese gangster. Johnny
works for the owner of a Thai restaurant named Tom
Yum Goong in Sydney, Australia. Before Kham could
leave, Mr. Suthep arrives and sends his goons
after him, both via air and water. However, Kham
somehow evades all the guys, and even manages to
crash one of the enemy boats into the chopper.
Two weeks pass by and the news of the transfer of
the elephants to Australia spreads throughout
the country, inviting protests from animal
activists. Meanwhile, Mr. Wittaya Thammarat,
owner of the Thai restaurant Tom Yum Goong
gets killed. It is believed that the motive of
murder was Wittaya’s involvement with a Chinese
mafia gang and many illegal activities that
could lead to business conflict between them.
The movie then cuts to Sydney where police
officers Mark, a Thai-Australian, and his
partner Rick are being filmed for a documentary.
Mark is stationed in the Asian neighborhood of
Sydney where he knows everyone, including the
thieves. Elsewhere, a Thai student named Pia
is seen being threatened by a bunch of goons.
It’s revealed that Pia is the girlfriend of the
late Mr. Wittaya and the goons are forcing her
to be a call girl to pay her lover’s debt.
Next, a transgender member of the Chinese gang
named Madam Rose is seen at a meeting with the
gang’s leader and her uncle, Mr. Sim. It
becomes clear that she wants to become
the head of security of the gang. However,
Mr. Sim feels that she can’t shoulder the
responsibility and tells her to manage the
restaurant instead, much to her dismay.
Kham eventually arrives in Sydney. However,
when he hails a cab and asks the driver;
Jimmy, to take him to Tom Yum Goong, a couple of
police cars suddenly start chasing Jimmy’s car.
It turns out Jimmy is a wanted thief posing
as a taxi driver. Mark and his partner Rick
also join the chase and eventually corner the
thief but he holds Kham at gunpoint. However,
without the police’s assistance, Kham confiscates
Jimmy’s gun and frees himself. Out of nowhere,
a third policeman, Inspector Vincent, shows up
and shoots the thief dead. It turns out Vincent
has been following Kham since he left the airport.
After the thief drops dead, he tries to shoot at
Kham. However, he misses the shot and Kham runs
for his life. Puzzled by Vincent’s actions, Mark
questions him but he argues that Kham was not a
hostage and orders Mark and Rick to catch him. The
duo oblige and start chasing Kham. They eventually
capture him and drive towards the police station.
In the car, Kham tells Mark that he is searching
for his relatives without revealing that the said
relatives are actually elephants. Along the way,
Mark stops at the Tom Yum Goong restaurant to meet
an acquaintance. There, Kham spots Johnny
from inside the car and becomes erratic.
He urges Mark and Rick to arrest Johnny, but Mark
argues that he cannot because Kham is offering no
proof of a crime. Left with no choice, Kham
causes the car to crash and he escapes.
He then follows Johnny to a bridge where the
latter was set to meet Pia. Kham confronts
Johnny and demands his elephants back. However,
Johnny brushes him aside and orders his henchmen
to take care of Kham before leaving. A battle
ensues and Kham easily overpowers the henchem,
prompting them to run away. As Kham goes after
them, Pia warns him that he shouldn’t mess with
Johnny and his men. However, he ignores
her advice and goes after one of Johnny’s
henchmen. He coerces him into leading him toÂ
Johnny’s hideout, interrupting a drug deal. Â

Johnny. Meanwhile, the local news starts reporting
that Kham was involved in a drug deal in Sydney
and he is wanted by the police. Pia hears the news
on the street and proceeds to return back to her
apartment but she stops and watches from afar when

Commissioner’s meeting with Mr. Sim while Mark
and Rick provide security outside the building,
unaware about what’s going on inside. As Pia
is dancing, the commissioner gets over excited
and is compelled to seek his medicine to calm his
heartbeat. When Pia goes to fetch the medicine,

Mark for the murder. He then orders his men to
arrest Mark but the latter manages to flee.
The murder is caught on the commissioner’s camera
and after Vincent and his men go after Mark,

eventually captures Mark by luring him to
an abandoned building using a woman from his
neighborhood. However, Vincent realizes that
his men failed to take out Pia and she has the
commissioner’s camera. After a bit of chasing,
they eventually arrest her but as they are
about to take her to the police station,
Kham comes to her rescue and saves her from the
corrupt police. After being rescued, Pia tells
Kham about the VIP area inside the Tom Yum Goong,
and soon, he reaches the place. He fights his way
into the VIP area and reaches the dining hall
at the top. There, Kham demands his elephants,
but he is only met with the laughter of Johnny
and his men, who also taunt him with Kohrn’s bell.
When Kham looks around, he notices bodies
of several exotic animals and realizes that
Vincent probably killed the elephants and served
them to his customers. This enrages Kham and he
attacks Vincet and his men. A long battle follows
but just like always, Kham turns out victorious.
He then enters the storage area of the restaurant,
and comes across various exotic animals ready to
be butchered and eaten. Seeing this, Kham loses
all hope but just then, he finds Mark tied
inside a room. As he looks to escort his friend
outside, he suddenly comes across his old friend,
Kohrn. Seeing him, Kham gets ecstatic and the
trio soon leave the place in a truck, just before
the police arrive. Meanwhile, Pia watches them
leave from afar but doesn’t go after them.

leader of the Chinese gang, Madame Rose poisons
the two other possible successors, making way
for her ascent to the leadership position.

meat of endangered animals spreads like wildfire
and the police are forced to close the place.
After being let down by Johnny once again,
inspector Vincent initiates a search for Kham
and Mark, who are hiding in a Buddhist monastery.
They eventually decide to leave the monastery
to keep the goons from attacking it. However,
soon after their departure, the monastery
is set on fire by Vincent and his men.
Believing that the temple and its inhabitants
might be in danger, Mark and Kham decide to turn
around and come back. When they arrive,
Kham is confronted by three assassins:
a fierce capoeirista, a sword-wielding wushu
expert, and T.K., a giant wrestler.
Kham somehow defeats the capoeirista and wushu
expert, but T.K. proves too strong for Kham.
As the giant is about to eliminate Kham,
the police arrive, and Mark comes to help
him flee. Meanwhile, Pia goes to the police and
shows Mark’s boss the video proof which shows
that it was Vincent and his men who killed
the police commissioner and other people.
The next morning, Kham heads out with Kohrn while
Mark is discovered by several policemen and sent
to deal with Inspector Vincent. Soon, Kham arrives
at a hall where Madame Rose is having a press
conference. Just then, Kohrn runs in, scaring off
the crowd and Kham starts engaging the gangsters.
Elsewhere, Mark apprehends Vincent, and just as he
is about to arrest him, Johnny arrives there and
fatally shoots Vincent. Mark is left stunned
by the incident but Johnny reveals that it
was an act of revenge for something personal.
In the next scene, Kham finds himself with Kohrn
in a huge room, and he is shown the skeleton of
Por Yai, encrusted with jewels as a gift to Madame
Rose. This devastates Kham and he starts having
flashbacks of his time with the beloved elephant.
However, he doesn’t get much time to grieve
as Madam Rose’s men attack him. Filled with
vengeance, Kham attacks them more brutally than
previously seen, by breaking many of the men’s
arms and legs. Sensing the danger, Madam Rose
summons T.K. from the monastery, along with
three other fighters. Although Kham tries his best
to match the goons, he is easily outnumbered and
subdued. Soon, T.K. throws Kohrn through a glass
wall while Kham is knocked into the elephant
ornament, causing two leg bones to fall off. Kham
realizes that the tendons are the most vulnerable
and important part of an elephant to protect,
and with this knowledge he defeats the four brute
wrestlers by using sharp ends of the elephant
bones to slice their tendons. He also stops Madame
Rose before she can escape in a helicopter, and
they both crash into the room below. Fortunately,
Kham’s fall is cushioned by Por Yai’s tusks.
Back in the lobby, Mark meets his boss,
Inspector Lamond and gets forgiven by him. He
is then given a new partner who speaks Thai.
In the last scene of the movie, a narration from
Mark is heard, with scenes of Kham’s childhood
shown. Mark explains that Thai people treat
elephants like they are their brothers,
and they hate people who hurt them. Thais love
peace, but dislike people who take liberties.
The movie ends as Kham finallyÂ
embraces his best friend; Kohrn.
