The 24-year-old actress is even being styled as the successor to kickboxing phenomenon Tony Jaa, whose work includes the most successful Thai films ever to hit foreign screens.

 

As the star of the new Thai film "Chocolate," which is due for its first international screenings in Hong Kong next month, she proves a woman can look sweet and act tough.

She was pretty amazing in Chocolate, they had at the end the out takes ala Jackie Chan style, and she was amazing, she "broke" more than a few male stunt guys.

 

Not a bad actress either, but her fighting is pretty stunning, Chocolate not a bad movie
