How does this compare to Chocolate? Better than TYG?

Fantastic looking BD. I need to get around to picking up Chocolate.

.
It's a bit more polished than Chocolate but it's certainly not better than TYG.Like virtually any Thai actioner i've ever seen the plot is incredibly flimsy and just oddball at times (two of the main character's names are pigshit & dogshit ) it's also overlong (109 minutes) and takes it's time to get going but Jija Yanin is a talent worth watching.

In Chocolate I was kinda disappointed with the hand-to-hand actionscenes, but I thought she did an excellent job when she used weapons. She is certainly a talented and lovely girl worth watching, although I do hope she will be in better movies than these.

Thanks Salty. I may get this instead then. I want to see what the female actress is like but doubt I'd consider it a keep. I don't consider Ong-Bak or TYG this. I've not bothered with Ong-bak 2. Like you say, there's a poor plot and then there's an incredibly flimsy plot.
