Netflix has unveiled the trailer and release date for its Thai-language action adventure, depicting the story of Thailand's most notorious and legendary outlaw. ‘Tee Yai: Born to be Bad’ will be released on November 13, on Netflix, worldwide. 

Every legend has its origins, and every success has a backstory. Netflix revives the story of Thailand's most notorious outlaw in the action-packed drama film "Tee Yai: Born to be Bad." Rising star Apo-Nattawin Wattanagitiphat takes on the role of Tee Yai in this contemporary reimagining, providing a fresh perspective through the lens of renowned director Nonzee Nimibutr.

Tee Yai: Born to be Bad is an exhilarating journey that chronicles the bond between two inseparable friends, Tee and Rerk. Tee, a fearless outlaw with a penchant for living in the moment, thrives in the adrenaline-fueled world of crime, while Rerk (played by Most-Wisarut Himmarat), his level-headed and strategic companion, balances Tee's wild spirit with his pragmatic approach. Together, they orchestrate a series of ingenious heists that carve their names into the annals of legend.

However, their wild escapades take an unexpected turn when Dao (Kao-Supassara Thanachat) enters Rerk's life, igniting within him a desire to leave the dangerous world behind and seek a more peaceful existence. This newfound longing creates tension between the duo as Rerk's commitment to their criminal lifestyle is tested.

Complicating matters further is Inspector Jakarat (Joke-Akarin Akaranitimaytharatt), a relentless and astute police officer who is hell-bent on taking them down. His determination adds a thrilling cat-and-mouse dynamic to the story, keeping audiences on the edge of their seats.

The film is enriched by a talented ensemble cast, including Cris Horwang, Nont-Sadanont Durongkavarojana, Foei-Patara Eksangkul, and Bront Palarae, each bringing their unique flair and depth to the narrative. Viewers can expect not only heart-pounding action sequences but also a captivating retro atmosphere that immerses them in this electrifying tale of friendship, ambition, and the harsh consequences of a life on the wrong side of the law.

Set in the 70s, the film unveils a new side of Tee Yai’s untold story. Director and co-writer Nonzee Nimibutr shared his inspiration for bringing back the story of the most wanted outlaw in history: "Tee Yai: Born to be Bad is the story of an outlaw from the past whose tales we've heard countless times. But this time, I want to present another angle that has never been discussed. His numerous escapes were rumored to be due to magic, but I believe there were close allies or trusted friends who helped him, working behind the scenes and overcoming obstacles together to survive every time. Because I believe a great outlaw like Tee Yai didn't walk this path alone. This is the new perspective I want audiences to experience." 

Prepare yourself for the exhilarating return of Thailand's most legendary outlaw in "Tee Yai: Born to be Bad." Dive into a gripping tale filled with heart-pounding heists, adrenaline-fueled chases, and the powerful bonds of friendship and sacrifice. Experience this unforgettable journey when it premieres on November 13, exclusively on Netflix.
