Tom Yum Goong, from the creators of Ong Bak, marks another chapter in the rise of martial arts prodigy, Tony Jaa.
 Following the same simple formula that helped make Ong Bak a runaway international success, Tom Yum Goong is filled with bone crunching fight sequences and jaw-dropping stuntwork.
Kham, (Jaa) a simple Thai lad from the countryside, is forced out of his quiet lifestyle, and indeed his country, after his elephant is stolen by a vicious band of animal traffickers. He travels to Sydney, Australia and starts his quest to track down his missing pet, and in the process discovers that dealing in endangered species is the least of the evil gang's crimes.
As with Ong Bak, the plot takes a definite back seat in favor of the action and bombast, with story and character development hardly a primary concern. In effect little more than a ninety-minute showcase of Jaa's talents, Tom Yum Goong is trashy popcorn entertainment at its best and guaranteed to put a smile on the face of martial arts lovers everywhere.
 TOM-YUM-GOONG is the story of a young man named Kham (Tony Jaa) whose life is turned upside down when an international mafia syndicate, based in Australia , captures his two beloved elephants and smuggles them thousands of kilometers away to Sydney . The two elephants are far more than mere animals to Kham and his father. They are part of his family and were being prepared to be presented as a token of devotion to his Majesty the King of Thailand. The only way Kham can possibly save the animals is by venturing into a foreign land for the first time.
Taking on a mafia group to rescue two elephants from a foreign country presents a huge challenge, even for a martial arts master like Kham. Despite the help of Sergeant Mark (Petchthai Wongkamlao), a Thai police Sergeant based in Australia , and Pla (Bongkuch Kongmalai), a Thai girl forced into modern day slavery, the going gets tough. They must take on the ruthless gang of Madame Rose (Jing Xing), whose henchmen include Johnny (Johnny Nguyen), a Vietnamese thief and martial arts expert, and the hulking TK (Nathan Jones).
Kham has no choice but to risk his own life for the animals he loves
