When a movie is a hit, the director goes all out to make a follow-up to it. Of course, this concept has captured the attention of the Thai industry in recent times. Making a sequel in this case is a difficult task because there would be higher expectations for the filmmakers. The original would indeed have been excellent, but the filmmaker was walking a fine line. Several Thai sequels did succeed, though. These sequels are listed below.
1. Ong-Bak
Jaa's breakthrough performance came in the movie Ong-bak, which led to the actor being heralded as the next big martial arts celebrity abroad.

2. My Ex
Cee and her friends are talking about My Ex after seeing it. According to her famous actress older sister Bowie, a sequel is in the works.
