Uncle Praow’s Chok Dee Muay Thai fighting bar becomes the local attraction for visiting foreigners where Kem, Chai, Dow and Duan all work at; a group of childhood friends who have all been active fighters in the local Muay Thai fight scene since they were kids, with Uncle Praow like a father figure. Kem and Chai’s fighting skills are heralded by foreigners and word gets out to a leader of a Muay Thai fighting team made up of foreigners called K-1. They travel to the small island looking to buyout Uncle Praow’s bar to set up their own Muay Thai training camp, but Uncle Praow refuses, and is killed byt the gang. The gang of four friends decides to get revenge by together using their knowledge and skills of the ancient Thai boxing, Pahuyut, to settle matters outside the fighting ring. The deadliest street fight is set when the ancient disciplines of Pahuyut Thai boxing (quick, reactive, fierce and deadly) come face to face with a modern day adapted form of Thai kickboxing combat called K-1
