The Legend of King Naresuan: The Series Or King Naresuan The Series (English name in Thailand) (Thai: ตำนานสมเด็จพระนเรศวรมหาราช เดอะซีรีส์; RTGS: Tamnan Somdet Phra Naresuan Maharat [the series]) is a period drama Thai television series adaptation of the biographical film series of the same name, which chronicles King Naresuan the Great, who ruled the Ayutthaya Kingdom from 1590 until his death in 1605.
The series is directed by Chalermchatri Yukol, the son of the films' director. Unlike the movie, the series features new actors but Sorapong Chatree who portrayed Mahathera Kun Chong in the film.
The first season deals with Naresuan's boyhood, when he was taken hostage by Burmese King Bayinnaung to keep the rebellious Ayutthaya Kingdom as a vassal state. During this time, he was a novice Buddhist monk under the tutelage of a wise father-figure monk (Sorapong Chatree).
The second season focuses on Naresuan as a young and formidable military strategist who leads his army on a series of campaigns against breakaway kingdoms for King Bayinnaung's successor, Nanda Bayin, until he eventually revolts to free Siam.
