Candid set photos from Ong Bak 2!

There's nothing quite like having nothing to do but stay at home on a Saturday night and watch the Olympic Marathon. I propose they make it more interesting by running the event among morning traffic or discretely lay down tiger traps. Something to spruce it up. Since I didn't imagine anything was going to change from one hour to the next I came online and did a bit of trolling and found this on my Twitter...

WiseKWai has posted links to an image gallery over at his Thai Film Journal. The gallery is comprised of candid photos from the set of Ong Bak 2, the fabled set of Ong Bak 2. They appeared on the personal pages of four of the stuntmen from the movie on the social site Hi5. If anything they fill me with hope. They show a happier time on set when everyone was smiling and having a laugh. They also give an idea of production values as well. They're of the good times. You know, before Tony went a little spare.

Now I'm off to see if the Kenyans are still leading the pack.

"...did a bit of trolling,..."

Aha! That was you!


More on topic: the guy with the sickle, is that Mark Dacascos?

The Olympics would've ended on a really high note - and two dreams combined - if the marathoners were randomly targeted for flying head-kicks by Tony Jaa (representing Thailand as the Comeback Kid). As well as the tiger traps.

I think that Tony Jaa is still running with those clothes and hairstyle threw the streets of Bangkok.

imagine there are corporate cash-in events and nobody goes there, ppl just suddenly start to do sports on their own and find fun at it without having to trump each other and being abused for corporate propaganda.
