Gold Rush Gang | Netflix | Aug 21, 2025
Netflix is set to bring an epic Thai action drama to global audiences with Gold Rush Gang, streaming on August 21, 2025. Directed by Wisit Sasanatieng, this high-octane film blends action, emotions, and stylized visuals while narrating a gripping tale of revenge, loyalty, and redemption during the turbulent final years of World War II.
Storyline
The film follows Ko-Wah Thungsong (Phetthai Vongkhamlao), a legendary Southern Thai bandit who once fought for his land and people. After years of betrayal and loss, Ko-Wah assembles a daring group of notorious orphans—each skilled in their own way—for a near-impossible mission: to raid a Japanese army train loaded with gold treasures and drive the invaders out of Thailand.
But Ko-Wah’s mission is not only about gold or victory. He is haunted by his past, especially his betrayal at the hands of Luang Arun (Weerayut Nancha), a former comrade turned nemesis. Arun’s deceit not only landed Ko-Wah in prison but also tore him apart from his beloved wife Chomchan (Myria Benedetti). Now, the bandit must fight both external enemies and inner demons to reclaim his honor, his love, and his homeland.
