About Beggars of Bangkok
One day, the beggar empire of Chao Pho Ngo is thrown into turmoil when the Tai Ko beggar gang attempts to overthrow his operation and murders one of his men. Chang, Chao Pho Ngo’s most skilled beggar, rallies the others to launch a decisive attack against the Tai Ko group— even if it means killing one another to the last.
Directed by Permpol Cheiarun, Beggars of Bangkok leans on a strong ensemble — Pairot Sangwariboot, Parichart Borisute, Thuam Toranong — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1978.
