It was released under VCD format by Solar company. Movie director is สักกะ จารุจินดา. Half of the movie is filmed in Hong Kong, so it is very interesting to see Hong Kong with boat people in Aberdeen and the cityscape from the Peak without high skyscrapers. Old Macau without casinos can also be seen. Srongklot (Phairoj Sangwaribut), a young man, on a trip to Hong Kong, meets Hong, a young Thai-Chinese lady, selling souvenirs on the Peak. She steals his camera, but gets caught explaining that her grandma is very sick and poor. Having issues with the local mafia, he has to hide and gets help from a heartwarming call-girl (Orasa Isarangkul). Later on, the mafia is still chasing him. Being injured, he has to flee and is rescued by Hong. They flee temporarily in Macau, but ruffians follow them. Boo (Boo Wibunnan), an usurer, even asks Hong to pay back her grandmother's debts, but the consul finds an arrangement. Chased by ruffians in Macau, Srongklot and Hong get help from a Chinese opera troupe. Srongklot's brother (Yodchai Meksuwan) convinces him to go back to Thailand, but he has to leave Hong as she cannot get a visa for Thailand. Srongklot asks the Chinese opera leader (Sayan Chantaraviboon) to take care of Hong while he is away. Back in Thailand, he meets Kaekai (Aranya Namwong), a lady already married but separated from her husband. Kaekai is a very possessive lady, so it makes Srongklot being uneasy. Her husband Prakan (Phairoj Jaising) refuses to divorce and sends tough men to hit Srongklot. Being severely hit, Srongklot is now blind. Feeling guilty about Srongklot's injuries, Kaekai kills her husband as revenge and kills herself. Srongklot goes back to Hong Kong to cure his eyes and heart with Hong.
