Nai Khanomtom is pretty much considered the epitome of Muay Boran/Muay Thai/Ling Lom/Pahuyuth fighting. The legendary story is that he fought 9 or 10 Burmese lethwei/parma fighters and beat them.
KING OF THAI BOXING is a classic example of what happens when you try to rip off a successful, mid-to-big budget film on a low budget. The inspiration for this film is none other than BANG RAJAN, the excellent Thai historical war epic; KING OF THAI BOXING attempts to tell almost exactly the same tale albeit with a fraction of the cost.
