The Legend of Suriyothai is a Thai movie by Chatri Chalerm Yukol and presented by Francis Ford Coppola. It is a lavish production based on the true story of Princess Suriyothai who lived in 16th century Siam. The intrigue and clash between the most powerful families and also the wars with neighbouring Burma make for an incredible spectacle of Thai history.
Princess Suriyothai made many sacrifices for her country - she married a man she did not love to keep the peace between families, she took on traitors plotting against the King, and she laid down her life in the front-lines of a fierce frontier battle.
This period movie showcases the elegance, pomp and ceremony of Thai royalty, the might of war elephants and the beauty of the country.
