Sahamongkol

Thai law stipulates that no one can be forced to work against their will, and in this case, Sahamongkol would have to prove damages as a result of a broken contract (upon which such a contract can not be reinstated or continued) – a contract which Jaa has consistently disputed in its alleged existence and has always denied signing. Nonetheless, the hype this week appears to stem from Techarantanaprasert’s filing of an injunction against the release of the film in Thailand in a new district court seperate from the one in which the original dispute was being heard, on top of seeking compensation to the tune of almost $50 million (1.6 billion baht), which is odd considering the original claim in 2013 was much closer to $5 million (or 162.5 million baht) for supposedly making Jaa famous.
