Development[edit]
Some of the locations in the animation are based on real-life places. For example, Swallow Island, which is the setting of Odd's village, is inspired by the beaches and southern islands of Thailand.To accurately portray the North-Eastern style of Mae Mai Muay Thai, the production crew sought the help of a boxing instructor named Charoenthong Kiat Ban Chong. They also went to the ring to use it as a reference for developing combat pictures. Furthermore, they studied the traditional boxing fighting technique and the North-Eastern boxing show, which has experience performing both domestically and abroad, in order to understand the fundamentals that are true in accordance with the concept.

Interview
Exformat Films' latest release in November has caught the attention of audiences, as it presents another phenomenon in the Thai animation industry. The movie incorporates the art of Muay Thai, which is famous worldwide, as the main element in a fun action-fantasy style. The story follows a young boy named Od, who is destined to save the Ramathep Nakhon kingdom from the power of the Tehayaksa, the lord of the giants who has caused misery to the people. Od learns the martial art of Muay Thai, which had disappeared, from the number one boxing teacher in the land and uses it as a deadly weapon to carry out his mission. Nat Yoswattananon, who served as the main scriptwriter, director, and art director, and founder of Igloo Studio, the 10-year-old animation studio that oversees the production of this film, aimed to create an engaging story for viewers, using arts and culture as an element adapted to suit the presentation style, adding charm to the movie. The production team received advice on the style of Mae Mai Muay Thai from a boxing teacher like Charoenthong Kiat Ban Chong, to ensure the basics were correct according to the principle. The Isan boxing show, which has experience in performing both domestically and internationally, was also used as reference material for creating fighting images. The scriptwriting process took up to two and a half years, with Daraka Wongsiri as a consultant and Supakorn Riensuwan co-writing the script. The filmmakers aimed to portray each character's personality and emotion as realistically as possible and achieve the best sound-visual consonance. The work process began with the search for the right actor for the role, interpreting the script and performing the role first. The animator team then used the performance image as a reference for the character's posture and personality. Once the animation was complete, the actors provided their voices, and the team created full music with a full orchestra.

Critical Response[edit]
== Although the Thai animation market is niche and specific to Thai culture, as compared to other Eastern markets such as Japan, Thailand has a long history of animation dating back to World War II. More recently, Thai successes like "Khan Kluay" (also known as "The Blue Elephant") have become popular. The Thai animation industry has advanced with the release of "9 Satra: Legend of Muay Thai." The filmmakers, Pongsa Kornsri, Gun Phansuwon, and Nat Yoswatananont, followed a familiar path with their stories, but their production managed to be both genuinely Thai and marketable on a global scale. ==

Awards[edit]

 * 2019 Thailand National Film Association Awards
 * Best Original Score (Ryan Shore)
 * Best Sound Mixing (Richard Hocks)
 * 2019 Nine Entertainment Awards
 * Film of the Year
