Mum Jokmok (born Petchtai Wongkamlao on June 24, 1965) is a prolific Thai comedian, actor, and film director who stands as one of Thailand's most recognizable and influential entertainers. After establishing himself in the Bangkok "café" comedy scene and rising to national fame as a regular on the variety game show Ching Roi Ching Lan, he achieved significant international recognition for his role as George (or "Dirty Balls") in the martial arts hit Ong-Bak: Muay Thai Warrior (2003) and its follow-up, Tom-Yum-Goong (2005), alongside Tony Jaa. A versatile creator, he has written, directed, and starred in several of Thailand's highest-grossing domestic comedies, including the action-spoof The Bodyguard (2004) and the culturally significant Isan-language musical comedy Yam Yasothon (2005), for which he received critical acclaim for returning to his rural northeastern roots.
The story follows a team of pirate mercenaries known as the Lagoon Company, that smuggles goods in and around the seas of Southeast Asia in the early to mid 1990s.[4] Their base of operations is located in the fictional harbor city of Roanapur in east Thailand near the border of Cambodia (somewhere in the Amphoe Mueang Trat district, likely on the mainland north/northeast of the Ko Chang island or on the island itself).[5] The city is home to the Japanese Yakuza, the Chinese Triad, the Russian mafia, the Colombian cartel, the Italian mafia, a wide assortment of pickpockets, thugs, mercenaries, thieves, prostitutes, assassins, and gunmen. The city also has a large Vietnamese refugee population following the Vietnamese refugees exodus after the Communist takeover of Vietnam in 1975. Lagoon Company transports goods for various clients in the American made 80-foot (24 m) Elco-type PT boat Black Lagoon. It has a particularly friendly relationship with the Russian crime syndicate Hotel Moscow. The team takes on a variety of missions—which may involve violent firefights, hand-to-hand combat, and nautical battles—in various Southeast Asian locations, even going as far as Phu Quoc island of Vietnam. When they are not working, the members of the Lagoon Company spend much of their down time at The Yellow Flag, a bar in Roanapur which is often destroyed in firefights.
