Ong Bak Movies: Release Order
The Ong Bak trilogy showcases Tony Jaa's extraordinary martial arts skills across three films that blend spectacular Muay Thai action with Thai cultural themes. While sharing the same star and similar action-focused storytelling, these films tell largely separate stories set in different time periods.
This watch order follows the films as they were originally released, allowing viewers to experience Tony Jaa's evolution as an action star and the series' stylistic development. Ong Bak 2 and 3 form a connected historical epic set in 15th-century Thailand, while the original Ong Bak remains a standalone modern-day adventure, linked only through thematic elements and speculative spiritual connections.
There is 1 other watch order available – see the link up above.
