In 1431 Siam, young Tien is sent by his father, Lord Sihadecho, to a remote village to learn the art of dance. This decision is made to protect him from the sinister plans of Lord Rajasena, a commander eyeing Tien's family.

While residing in the tranquil village, Tien befriends an orphan girl named Pim. Their bond deepens, providing Tien with emotional support amidst the challenges he faces in his new environment.

Tien's peaceful life is abruptly interrupted when a guard loyal to Lord Sihadecho attempts to kidnap him. Fortunately, Tien narrowly escapes this fate thanks to the swift actions of a devoted ally.

In a brutal turn of events, Rajasena and a masked assassin orchestrate a massacre of Tien's family. This traumatic experience leaves Tien utterly alone and vulnerable as he encounters enemy soldiers.

In his desperate attempt to flee, Tien is captured by slave traders who treat him harshly. Despite the cruelty he faces, Tien's resilience and spirit catch the attention of others.

Tien's fortunes change drastically when he is rescued by Chernang, the leader of a group of martial artists known as the Pha Beek Khrut. Impressed by Tien's tenacity, Chernang decides to take him under his wing.

Under Chernang's mentorship, Tien undergoes intense training to hone his physical skills and mindset. He embraces the opportunity to prove himself worthy of the Pha Beek Khrut.

After facing numerous challenges, Tien completes his grueling training and is celebrated by Chernang as his adopted son. This new role comes with added responsibilities and the weight of vengeance on Tien's heart.

With a burning desire for revenge, Tien embarks on a quest to find his former captors. He claims victory over them, making a blood oath to avenge the death of his family, a pledge that resonates strongly with Chernang.

Disguised as a khon dancer, Tien infiltrates a grand celebration at Rajasena’s palace. Seizing the moment, he launches a surprise attack on Rajasena, aiming to settle the score and demonstrate his newfound prowess.

Returning to the abandoned Pha Beek Khrut village, Tien confronts a mysterious masked assassin who shockingly resembles the one who murdered his father. This encounter triggers a fierce battle for survival.

After defeating the masked foes, Tien faces a formidable opponent, Bhuti Sangkha, known for his extraordinary martial skills. Bhuti's overwhelming strength proves insurmountable, leaving Tien vulnerable.

In a heartbreaking clash, Tien is forced to battle Chernang, who reveals a shocking connection to Tien's quest for vengeance. The confrontation culminates in Chernang's tragic death, leaving Tien devastated.

Defeated and surrounded by enemies, Tien faces a slow, torturous demise as ordered by Lord Rajasena. In this moment of despair, he reflects on his dire circumstances but resolves to find a way to survive.

As the film concludes, Tien stands rugged and bearded before the Ong Bak Buddha statue. This powerful moment leaves audiences questioning fate, justice, and the future direction of Tien's journey.
