From the reach of the Ocean Butterfly,

Prince Apaimanee was saved by the Mermaid,

and then lived on the Kaew Pitsadarn island

Feeling a close bond between each other, they fell in love.

When had to leave her for his kingdom,

the Mermaid was pregnant.

He gave her his hairpin as a token of his love.

Finally, the Mermaid gave birth to a boy,

who was named "Sudsakorn" by the Old Hermit on the island,

who taught him discipline.

When he travelled in quest for his father, Prince Apaimanee,

an adventure began...

Master,

we are here for your help.

Could you please help us?

Alright.

Alright.

I will help you.

The magic thing!

Guys, let's bow to him.

Go, go.

Sit down. Sit down.

Sit down! Sit down!

Trisoon,

this is the last chance for all of you.

Bungka,

it's high time we visited Romachak Kingdom.

Bungka,

prepare provisions and fresh water for 30 days.

After that,

we'll seek pleasure in Romachak!

Master.

Don't worry.

Sudsakorn is a naughty boy.

I beg you to teach him discipline.

Being naughty means being clever.

It's alright.

I'll teach him well.

Don't worry.

You take some rest.

Who are you?

I'm Apaimanee.

So you are King Sutud's son?

How could you know that?

I'm...

Usaren.

Usaren?

My dearest,

I really appreciate your help.

But I have to continue my journey to Langka City.

I love you, Suwanmalee.

I want to leave this island with you.

But I can't be yours.

I'm engaged to...

King Usaren!

Bungka,

send a message to Prince Srisuwan.

If the army of Romachak does not arrive in 20 days,

Prince Apaimanee will breathe his last breath!

Take care of my special guest.

Give him the honorary treatment!

You cannot do anything at will from now on.

You have to ask for my permission.

Your mother is very worried.

My apologies.

I did not mean to worry you both.

And where have you been?

A horse!

I saw an amazing horse!

What did it look like?

It's body is like a horse.

It's head is like a snake with horns.

It's tail is like a fish.

All over it's body are black scales.

It can walk on water and dive into the sea.

I've never seen anything like it!

I want to catch it for you.

It's the black dragon-horse.

To catch it,

you need my rope and cane.

Otherwise, you'll never do it.

I'll teach you how.

Srisuwan, you are very much improved.

Brothers, please train me harder.

Alright.

We'll give you all we've got.

What happened?

There's a letter for you.

Sir,

why did you free it?

I almost killed myself catching him!

Sudsakorn,

you should set it free.

Let him the way he is.

Whenever you want him,

you can call him.

He's your dragon-horse now.

Sudsakorn,

you should know that

your having this dragon-horse

shows that it's high time

you left me behind.

Where will I go?

To look for your father.

My father?

This is a hairpin your father gave me.

Mother, I don't want to go.

You have to, sweetie.

Master,

I want to stay here.

I don't want to leave.

Sudsakorn,

you cannot change your destiny.

You have to look for Prince Apaimanee,

He's your father.

Within 20 days

unless I help my brother,

he's sure to be killed.

If so,

you must rush to him.

May I come with you?

I'm afraid not.

There is danger everywhere.

You'll even make me more worried.

Please do not stop me.

No matter what this battle brings,

I'll always be by your side.

Sudsakorn,

you must travel to the east.

There you will meet your father.

Sudsakorn,

you take care of yourself.

And you...

please take care of my son for me.

What city is this?

This is Pakka City.

What about you, little yogi?

Where are you heading for?

I'm heading eastbound,

looking for my father.

It's nearly dusk.

Why don't you take some rest in our city?

I'll prepare dinner for you.

I thank you very much.

I'm so glad you came to save me.

If you hadn't,

I don't know what would have happened.

These ghost are cursed

to suffer their karmic deeds.

So now...

their suffering period is over.

They can be reborn again.

I'm scared...

I don't know what kind of evil may be waiting...

You'll be confronted by evil again.

That is predestined.

But you will be alright.

So be eastbound.

You will be saved.

What's wrong?

I feel something about this place.

Unless we run out of water,

I won't step on this island.

Me, either.

Stay together

and get your arms ready.

What happened?

What?

What happened?

Oh, what the hell is that?

Get out of here! Quick!

What the hell is that?

What the hell is that?

What the hell is that?

Shoot them!

Shoot them!

Shoot them!

Make it quick!

Shoot them! Shoot them!

Shoot them! Don't let them in!

Shoot them! Quick!

Watch out!

Hello? Anyone here?

What should we do now?

Please wait here while I have a look around.

Anyone here?

Dragon-horse!

Dragon-horse!

Dragon-horse!

Stop it!

What are you doing to my dragon-horse?

What are you doing to my dragon-horse?

What did you say?

You said this horse is yours?

You liar!

I'm not a liar!

He's my dragon-horse.

I don't believe you.

A kid like you could never own this magical horse!

You liar! You liar!

Why did you beat me?

I just want to see

if your really tough enough

to have tamed this dragon-horse.

Are you alright?

I didn't mean to hurt you.

I am a wizard.

I am alright.

But how can I be sure

that he's really your dragon-horse?

Indeed,

this dragon-horse belongs to me.

And who are you?

Why are you alone in this cave?

I am the wizard of Panom Island,

protector of my people.

But what about you?

What is your name?

Where are you heading?

Sudsakorn is my name.

I am traveling eastbound

to see my father.

Don't you know it's dangerous there.

You may die!

Die!

Why?

Because in the East,

there's the acidic sea

which kills any living things in its vicinity.

A little boy like you,

you will never survive.

Think about it.

It's a very, very hard journey.

The acidic sea is deadly.

But don't be scared.

I have a protective magic spell.

I'll teach you.

Will you really teach me it?

I'll teach you.

Don't you remember that I'm a wizard?

First of all,

come in to my cave for a pleasant meal.

Then I'll show you how to practice, alright?

Let's go!

- You really mean it? - Yes, I do.

I'll teach you all I know.

Really?

Really.

I'll teach you everything.

I'll teach you everything.

Let's go.

What happened?

My soldiers and I

found these bodies on the beach.

Before his last breath, one man mentioned giant butterflies.

This is the fourth time

that I've heard about this.

Prophet, what do you think about this?

Good will prevail over evil.

A brave one from the West

will save us and solve all our problems.

You have said this twice.

Your Majesty, that is because I insist it is so.

In seven days

unless any volunteers will fight for us,

I will the army to the island myself!

My little yogi,

I'm teaching you how to meditate.

So you can go wherever you desire.

This is how you meditate.

You sit still, take a deep breath.

When inhaling, you say... Bud

When exhaling, you say... dha...

Relax.

Put down your cane beside you.

Do not worry, do not worry.

I'll take care of you.

Take a deep breath.

When inhaling, you say... Bud

When exhaling, you say... dha...

Keep concentrating.

So you can go wherever you desire,

my little yogi.

I didn't do you any harm.

Why did you do this to me?

You didn't do me any harm.

But you have a magical cane

and that dragon-horse.

I don't have any hard feeling for you.

But I want these two things.

It's time for you to die!

If you resist me,

I'll kill you!

From now on you and I travel together,

for I am your new master.

How dare you be untamed!

Weird horse!

Weird horse!

Weird horse!

Weird horse!

Weird horse!

All pay respect to King Suriyothai!

Who are you?

How dare you get in the way of the king.

I'm the wizard of Panom Island.

I want to know

where am I.

This is Karawek City,

ruled by King Suriyothai.

Now I see you are not local.

So you are exempted.

But you and your weird horse

must be on your way now.

Soldiers! Arrest him!

Soldiers! Arrest him!

Stop!

This man

dared to stand in the way, Your Majesty.

Who are you?

I'm the wizard of Panom Island.

Everyone calls me the Naked Fakir.

I'm here to expel

the coming evils!

So you must stay at my palace.

Alright.

Here is my palace.

Only ambassadors and state visitors

are allowed.

You are our special guest.

Sir,

where has your horse gone?

I asked where your horse has gone?

I let him feed himself.

It takes a short while.

I let him go.

He'll come back in no time.

When I take some rest,

I'll let him go for a while.

So be it. Welcome to my palace.

Please have some rest

and make yourself at home.

Who's that?

No idea.

But father told me he's a wizard.

Wait for me!

Quick, or we miss that weird old man.

But I'm scared!

What are you scared of? This is our palace.

Stop!

I told you to stop!

Stop!

Wait!

Wait for me!

Who are you?

Stop!

Who are you?

Why didn't you stop?

Why did you steal into our palace?

What is your name?

Sudsakorn.

Why did you steal into our palace?

I've been looking for a wicked old man with a cane.

A wicked old man?

Or is he that wizard?

Wizard?

He's not a wizard.

He stole my cane and my horse.

So here I am.

Please tell me what this is all about.

What now?

Let go of my sister!

Let go of me!

- Let the Princess go! - Let her go now!

Let me go!

Let me go!

You're the thief!

What did I steal?

My cane!

Stop!

Anybody can explain anything

about someone

stealing into my palace?

This boy, Your Majesty.

I was sleeping

when he replaced my cane

with this stupid one.

It's this boy, Your Majesty.

You old crook!

You pushed me out of the cliff

and stole my cane and dragon-horse.

No!

He's a liar!

That's my horse!

It's you who is lying.

Stop Arguing!

I'll judge who's telling the truth

You, wizard,

where has your horse gone?

Or isn't he your horse?

He's mine!

I let him feed himself.

If that horse is yours,

can you call him back here?

He'll be back in no time.

I can call him anytime I desire.

But he isn't full enough.

He won't come back yet.

Wait until he's fed himself fully,

Then he'll be back.

That's the habit of animals.

Alright. Now, little yogi,

you claim that horse is yours.

Can you call him back here?

Any excuses?

No, that's not true, Your Majesty.

The boy knows magic.

He used magic to call my horse.

That's why.

You crook!

Are you still insistent?

Soldiers! Behead him now!

No! I'm the wizard of Panom Island!

Who dares kill me?

Please wait, Your Majesty.

I wonder if you could do me a favor.

Go ahead.

I'd like to ask for his life.

Aren't you angry with him?

I really was angry,

but my Old Hermit taught me that

forgiveness is a great virtue.

Prophet, perhaps

this boy is...

Soldiers, do as this little yogi wishes.

You, Naked Fakir, leave my city now!

Do not ever return here.

Leave!

Soldiers! Catch him!

Catch him!

Who dares?

I have this magic cane!

I give up!

I give up!

I surrender to you!

Lord Vetchayan,

how far is Devil Island?

Within not so many hours

we will reach there.

Sir,

we found the Prince and Princess in the provisions chamber.

What Your Royal highness have done

is not proper at all.

If the King and Queen are informed,

they will be worried.

Oh, you don't have to worry.

I already wrote a note to them.

I'm simply looking for adventure,

so don't worry.

I can take care of myself.

And what about the Princess's safety?

We are not traveling for pleasure.

We are heading into battle with giant butterflies.

Oh, I can also take care of myself.

Yes! They're just giant butterflies.

One arrow, one dead butterfly! Easy!

- Yes! - They don't scare me.

Please allow us to come with you.

Yes, please. Let us come with you, please.

We won't be any burden on you.

Please, please, please.

Hooray!

Here we are, Devil Island!

Here we are, Devil Island!

Everyone! Look out!

Get your arms ready!

Arrows, spears, swords!

All at the back, guard the Prince and Princess!

Help! Help!

Saowakon!

- Let go of me! - Let go of my sister!

Kill them all!

Help me! Help!

Don't shoot!

Or you'll hurt the Princess.

Oh, Princess!

Dragon-horse!

Help! Help!

Help!

No! Get out!

- Get out! No! - Princess!

Get out!

Get out!

Help me!

Get out!

Help!

Help!

Get out!

Help!

Help!

Go away!

No! Don't go!

Help!

Anybody help!

Get out!

Get out!

No! Get out!

Get out!

Sudsakorn!

I won't let you attack anyone anymore!

At last we meet, Srisuwan.

I am here for Apaimanee, my brother.

Alright.

But over my dead body.

Alright.

As you wish.

If you are defeated,

your brother will die alongside you.

It is time for me to leave.

I wish you a very safe journey

and successful search for your father.

Good luck.

I will always remember you, Sudsakorn.

So will I.

So long.

Arrow men!

Ready!

Fire!

Kill them all!

Kill them all!

Kill them!

Kill them all!

Kill them!

Kill them all!

Kill them!

Kill them all!

Enough, Usaren?

Enough before any more dead people!

Srisuwan!

Usaren, let Apaimanee go!

Are you ready to surrender to me?

No, Srisuwan!

Do you have any last words?

Since I am defeated,

Kill me!

No!

King Usaren once saved my life.

King Usaren,

leave here now.

Before I breathe my last,

we'll meet again, Srisuwan!

Please accept my thanks

for your help.

What is your name?

My name is Sudsakorn.

And who are you? Where are you from?

Where did you get this hair pin?

My mother gave it to me.

Your mother?

Is the Mermaid your mother?

It was all about Sudsakorn's sense of gratitude...

...towards his father, Prince Apaimanee,

Whom he never met before.

He is the ideal son.

The moral of this story is that...

"Trust not any man"

as taught in Suthorn Phu's epic poem.
