“The Burmese king knew how to settle this dispute: If Nai Khanom Thom could defeat nine more consecutive opponents, he would then prove the superiority of his fighting style, earning his freedom as a bonus. Nai Khanom Tom took on fighter after fighter, dishing out abuse, until finally none stood in his way.”

There should be made a film about this.

[...] of the history (go figure) was informative and succinct; big props to the producers for recognizing Nai Khanomtom and his achievements. I think this might have been the first time his name has ever been mentioned [...]

Nopstar,

Didn’t you mention one time that there is a way to honor your Kru at this time? Some kind of ceremony? Is the ceremony performed in Thailand? What do the gyms out there do to honor this time or are there festivals or anything?
