Epic much loved Thai folktale with a mixture of battle scenes, magic, sea witches, mermaids, handsome prince finds beautiful princess etc. Film has English subtitles.

This film had some problems at the Box Office in Thailands because of the occasional bare breast exposed upsetting Thai moral sensibilities. I quite enjoyed it, but it is not a classic.
