Tom Yum Goong 2 (Thai: ต้มยำกุ้ง 2) also known in the US as The Protector 2, in the UK as Warrior King 2 and in Germany as Return of the Warrior is a 2013 Thai martial arts film directed by Prachya Pinkaew and written by Eakisit Thairaat.

It is the sequel to Pinkaew's Tom-Yum-Goong with Tony Jaa and Petchtai Wongkamlao reprising their roles.

Kham (Tony Jaa) has resumed a quiet village life with his "brother"/elephant, Khon, back in Thailand.

Job, an oddball who loves playing with electrical devices, has lived in the village for some time and has earned the trust of the locals.

Suchart gives his business card to Kham in case he changes his mind.

While eating with the local villagers, Kham feels something is wrong and returns home to find that Job has been beaten and Khon has been taken by Suchart.

Suchart's two nieces, martial artists Ping-ping (Yanin "Jeeja" Vismitananda) and Sue-sue (Theerada Kittiseriprasert) arrive and believe that Kham must be responsible.

The two attack him, but he evades and escapes; the authorities are alerted and the police give chase.

LC himself is a great admirer of martial arts and has gathered his own personal group of fighters ranked according to their strength.

Ping-ping ignites an entire floor filled with gasoline in an attempt to burn No.

The explosion kills LC and knocks both Kham and Khon over the cliff and into the ocean, but they survive.

[4] The film is shot in 3-D with action scenes directed by Weerapon Phumatfon and Somjai Janmoontree.

[1] The film debuted at number one in the box office in Thailand grossing US$684,406 in its opening weekend.

[7] Film Business Asia gave the film a rating of seven out of ten, stating, "In many respects TYG2 dishes up the usual Jaa formula — 90% action and 10% story/characterisation — with the action coming fast and furious, especially when the script basically gives up any pretence at coherency halfway through.

The only differences are that Jaa abandons his usual claim to fame of not using wire-work or visual effects, and the film is lighter on the masochism that has permeated most of his work.
