'''''Tom-Yum-Goong''''' (Thai: ต้มยำกุ้ง; IPA: [tôm jɑm kûŋ], distributed as '''''Warrior King''''' in the UK, as '''''The Protector''''' in the US, as '''''Thai Dragon''''' in Spain, and as '''''Revenge of the Warrior''''' in Germany) is a 2005 Thai martial arts film starring Tony Jaa. The film was directed by Prachya Pinkaew, who also directed Jaa's prior breakout film [[Ong Bak]]. As with Ong Bak, the fights were choreographed by Jaa and his mentor, Panna Rittikrai. In the United States, it was endorsed by Quentin Tarantino as '''''"Quentin Tarantino Presents: The Protector"'''''.
In Bangkok, the young Kham was raised by his father in the jungle with elephants as members of their family. When his old elephant and the baby Kern are stolen by criminals, Kham finds that the animals were sent to Sidney. He travels to Australia, where he locates the baby elephant in a restaurant owned by the evil Madame Rose, the leader of an international Thai mafia. With the support of the efficient Thai sergeant Mark, who was involved in a conspiracy, Kham fights to rescue the animal from the mobsters.

* [[Ancient Tradition]]: The elephants and their herders are bound by one. In ancient warfare, actual war elephants relied on four soldiers to guard their legs in battle.
