Todmichel, you posted this over at the Latarnia thread about this film that I previously mentioned. Since I don't want to post at that board again I am going to try and answer the question here.

And this one? probably the Thai poster for one of the three Cambodian adaptations with Dy Saveth?

Tod this is not a poster for any of the three Camboadian adaptations of the Krai Thong legend. It is actually a poster for a Thai film based on the same legend called CHALAWAN which I think was the first production of Sompote Sangduenchai's Chaiyo Productions. The smigden of english language information I have been able to find on it would suggest that it was produced in 1970 for Thai television before later being released to theaters in 1972. As you probably already know Sompote Sangduenchai and his Chaiyo Productions would later make two more films based on the Krai Thong legend KRAI THONG (1980) and KRAI THONG 2 (1985) both starring Thai super stars Sorraping Chatree and Sombat Methanee.

While most of the Chaiyo films have been issued on VCD CHALAWAN unfortuantely has not surfaced in any form. Hopefully it isn't lost.
