Ong-Bak is my all-time favourite because it gave the strongest impact about Muay Thai culture.

The evening is so inspiring that Bomb and June, individually, create and launch their own apps, "Inviter" and "Amjoin," with the very same idea to "find people in common." 

But when it comes to business, replicates mean competition. Bomb and June become arch rivals. The national Startup Thailand league is approaching, and each is struggling to win the 100-million Thai baht prize. The stakes are high and "Inviter" and "Amjoin" end up sending a spy sneaking in the other team trying to gain the upper hand. But everything has its price, as the plan gets out of control, and the relationship between the two are being jeopardized.
