From the reach of the Ocean ButterflyPrince Apaimanee was saved by the Mermaid
and then lived on "The Fabulous Island"
Feeling a close bond between each other they fell in love.
When he 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?
All right.
I will help you.
The magic thing!
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 all right.
I'll teach him well.
Don't worry.
You take some rest.
Who are you?
I'm Apaimanee.
So you are
King Sutad'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 here within 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?
Its body is like a horse.
Its head is like a snake with horns.
Its tail is like a fish.
All over its 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.
Ok
I'll teach you how.
Srisuwan
you are very much improved.
Brothers
please train me harder.
All right.
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 be 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? mum
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.
But...
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 on your side.
Sudsakorn
you must travel to the east.
There you will meet your father.
Sudsakorn
you take good 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 travelling 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 I would have happened.
These ghosts 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 all right.
So be eastbound.
You will be saved.
What's wrong?
I feel something wrong 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?
hey 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 is it?
What the hell is it?
Shoot them!
Shoot them! Shoot them!
Shoot them! Shoot them!
Quickly! Shoot them! Shoot them!
Shoot them! Shoot them! Quick!
Shoot them! Shoot them! Shoot them!
Shoot them! Don't let them in!
Anyone here?
What should we do now?
Please wait here while I have a look around.
Anyone here?
somebody stay inside?
what the *** is this?
Dragon-horse!
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 you're really tough enough to have tamed this dragon-horse.
Are you all right?
I didn't mean to hurt you.
I am a wizard. I am all right.
But how I can 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 for?
Sudsakorn is my name.
I am travelling eastbound
to see my father.
Don't you know it's dangerous there.
You may die!
Die!
why i'm shall die?
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 into my cave
for a pleasant meal.Then I'll show how to practise all right?
- Let's go. - You really mean it?
- Yes I do. I'll teach you all I know. - Really?
Really
I'll teach you everything. Let's go.
I'll teach you there.
What happened? Vetchayan
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 lead the army to the island myself!
My little yogi

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

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. little yogi.
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!

From now on you and I travel together
for I am your new master.

Weird horse!
Weird horse!
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 I am.
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!
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.
All right.
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? Hutsachai
No idea.
But father told me he's a wizard.
Wait for me! Hutsachai
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.
hurry!
Let go of my sister!
Let go of me!
- Let the Princess go! - Let her go now!
Never!
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.
not true! He's a liar!
- That's my horse! It's you who is lying. - i'm not a liar.
That's my horse.
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 if 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.
All right. Now little yogi
you claim that the 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 favour.
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 Fair 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!
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 Highnesses have done is not proper at all.
If the King and Queen are informed
they will be very 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 travelling for pleasure. We are heading into battle with the giant butterflies.
Oh I can also take care of myself.
Yes! They're just giant butterflies.One arrow one dead butterfly! Easy!
Yes!
It so easy. They don't scare me.
Yes please. Let us come with you please.
We won't be any burden on you.
Please please please.

But over my dead body!

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?
hairpin?
Where did you get this hairpin?
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 had never met before.
He is a role model of dutiful son.
The moral of this story is that ...
"Trust not a mortal"
as put in Sunthorn Phu's epic poem.
