Dueling on the backs of war elephants is just about the most metal and badass-looking battle you can have in real life.
No doubt!
Using Flying V as axes.
How do u have 3K subs with no videos?
I would give my left hand just to see that happen 😂that would be sick
Just wanted to let you know you’re THE channel that got me into TH-cam. I love REAL history (basically anything but what we learn in America) and you pulled me in with intriguing and interesting content. Thank you!
For me it was Leafy. One inspiring origin story, one incurably corrupted.
Got you into TH-cam? Did you live in cave before?
@@karimelzein9115 😂 actually… almost. I’m a hermit in real life and I’m not much different online.
TIL fighting and killing fascists in WWII doesn’t count as real history
Absolute best channel on YT. It's a shame he doesn't get monetization and essentially does all videos and research for free.
Unknown5, I would join a Patreon if you added one to your channel! Thank you for all you do in the YT community!
Link is in the description they just don't advertise it and ya can only see it by hitting read more.
Which makes me want to support even more.
No click bait, no screaming "SUBSCRIBE, LIKE, COMMENT AND HIT THAT BELL ICON!!" just pure 100% quality content.
Aww, I grabbed a drink and some snacks because I'm so used to long, well thought out videos! Guess the cat is eating well tonight. Love your work, short or long!
The levels of quality and thoroughness in these channel's videos it's always amazing!
Easily one of the best channels and YT.
I lived in a place called Kanchanburi Thailand close to the pass they fought in. They also had a fight with just two roosters. Naresuan was bad ass and much loved in Thai culture! The movies are excellent. The studio was just outside of town near Prasat Nuang Sing so it was a great place have fun. That gun was crazy long, I saw a lot of the props used in the movies.
Are there any films based on it?
@@modmiss5081 Yes en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Naresuan_(film) I have mine from Thailand 1-5. They are producted by Sahamongkol Film International. Cheesy but in a Journey to the West classic kind of way. I actually wore the armor or two pieces of it since I am Westerner :)
Wish I can find those movies with English subtitles. I only managed to find 2
Thank you for the historical upload!
I've been gone for a while but I still have to say that these are the best history videos on TH-cam, at least top 3. The level of detail in these videos is so much deeper despite how concise you are. It's always a joy listening to you talk about history's worst dismemberments. You deserve a bigger following than you have.
Please bring back your amazingly awesome longer videos! They are a gift to man!
Always great to hear stories that western media and history don’t really cover.
I subscribed to your channel quite early (when the number of subscribers was in hundreds) and always enjoyed your content. As a Thai person I was surprised to see this video and on top of that you got all the details correct!! Thank you sir, keep up the good work.
This needs to be made into a TV series / film. It would be so epic!
actually it already have a moive cell King Naresuan with 6 sequel (:
Love this channel!
Your voice is so captivating for these type of videos. Definitely without a doubt one of my fave channels.
I binged watched this guy vids, so glad to get a new video 😁
This is such a great channel, with another excellent chapter.
Makes my day every time I see a new unknown5 vid!!!
PLEASE KEEP UPLOADING IVE MISSED YOUR VIDEOS
Thank you for your amazing videos
nice video thanks for including such detail most channels would have left out
Amazing content your videos make my week!
This is THE history channel for me I love this channel such interesting topics
Love your work as always. Great story, great storytelling.
If you want to release more frequently with shorter videos, I'm here for it.
I love your long videos, great for just starting dinner or something like that.
I'm just saying, if YOU want to release videos that have a single great story like this, you needn't be worried that your subscribers won't be here for it.
I'm subbed and notified, and ready for whatever fascinating subject you talk about next.
Me too
I enjoy all your uploads
Amazing as always
The famous duel that took place in 1592,between the Burmese royal crown prince and king Naresuan the great,of Siam,was notably disputed by some historians as dramatical without element of truth,but Burmese conquest and subjugation of Siam was neutralised over the next two centuries,before finally dominating them again in 1767.
until Taksin the Great
@@TheMischievousOtter King Hsinbyushin had two front's to fight.Imperial China to the north and Siam in the east.To save his kingdom,he wiithdrew the bulk of his army from Siam and deployed at home.Taksin would'nt have a chance if it was even.
@@TheMischievousOtter Hsinbyushin had two fronts to fight.Imperial China,and Siam at the same time.To save his kingdom, he withdrew the bulk of his army from Siam and deployed at home.This weakened his forces in Siam and empowered Taksin.
Wouldn't mind watching an ad/promo if it meant more of your awesome content.
Yes, he posted! the best history channel. I hv watched all ur videos like thrice
This event definitely needs a faithful adaptation
The best unknown history channel
Great tale. thank you.
Only 4 weeks and another upload? We are blessed
Here is another great channel The History Guy
I love your Videos
Never stop making videos
I'd pretty much would love a show or a movie based on this event.
It's pretty rare when more South East Asian historical events get some great movies based on them. Considering the amount of great and exciting historical stories they have to tell.
It does, but it’s a kids movie called khan kluay, it’s fun to watch tough
They did make a movie series. It's a bit confusing since it goes by three differents names, but it's the same series. Not sure if the different named versions were extended or re-edit or Director's Cut.
- Legend of King Naresuan
- King Naresuan
- Kindom of War
Another Thai historical war film was "The Legend Of Suriyothai" about a Queen that died in battle in another war against the Burmese.
There's also "Bang Rachan" about a village that defended themselves against a Burmese army
This duel is depicted in King Naresuan Part 5
Dude needs more views I need more videos I’m tired of waiting
I Love Ur Top 5 But These R Just As Good
Its like something out of Warhammer Fantasy.
Love this channel 👍🏼
Naresuan was actually the son of the second King at Pitsanulok rather than the, at the time reigning King of Siam(then Ayutthaya), who was his grandfather. Still a solid video nonetheless.
Man's an absolute hero of the nation.
Nice
Do 5 most incompetant miltary commanders in history
Please do some videos about the battles from my Hawaiian ancestors
Well, that was something. Great.
I'm imagining a very unrealistic, Tony Ja style duel with scenes very similar to The Protector 2, which also had an elephant.... Whose bones were used to fight giant white guys
Lets gooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Burmese aggression" is a misnomer. Thais failed invasion of Dawei led to counter attack by Burmese (Hanthawaddy) led by King Tabinshwehtee & commander Bayinnaung.
The best
This is so awesome. I gotta say, you should narrate the history of the Byzantine Empire. Rise and Fall of it, :D
เจ๋งมาก
When king Naresuan challenge the Burmese prince, he yell out "Whatever
is Our royal older brother doing standing in the shade of a tree? Come forth and let us fight an elephant duel for the honor of our kingdoms" it make more since in thai but still badass
A duel on war elephants?. awesome and terrifying so very LOTR.
Simultaneous elephant victory woo!!!
Wow what a fucking boss! I think the days when leaders of nations were the first people into battle, not the last, or never there at all, were the ones that bred true kings.
Why aren't your videos showing in my recommend videos???? wtf TH-cam algarythim I watched every single one of his videos multiple times! wtf
When are we getting Naresuan in FGO?
I’m here for this ish.
Bruh your scripts give me chills there epic
YAY! We are free! Let’s go conquer something!
Imagine if this was top 5
Usually other countries use horse in war but Thai use elephant bc the elephant is smart and bigger
Well we also try to sent American a war elephant in civil war but Abraham Lincoln refuse because America never ride an elephant.
Bruh I imagine the elephants were just parked side by side while the two men cleaved at each other, otherwise this would not have worked out
I love the visual of elephant parking (though I know that's not what you meant by that)
Someone is trying to back in to their spot near the shopping centre and the elephant starts going "beep beep beep"
War paintings rarely look real
"Shot" and killed by the Portuguese, I believe it
Digging these shorter videos
The most important question... How soon did you see this video?
About six minutes after you
@@xenophon5159 Seems sus
Reminds me of vlad the impaler right before he became a ruler. And the king that took over China after he couldn't keep control of his mother land after he won it back but it got conquered by a different country when he was away in a war. He won the war but was too weak to take back his country and never went back but he did conquer part of modern China and stayed there for the rest of his life. He hated it and wrote about how much he missed his homeland esp the food. Apparently Chinese food was pretty bland in comparison and the dude was a total foodie after he gave up alcohol as a tribute to his religion.
Name?
Firing a musket across a river and killing their general is so badass
Why is elephant jousting in no video games?!
I enjoy these more often releases of singular tales on historical events, and as another commenter has mentioned, if you could setup some kind of way for those of us who want to, to support you that would be cool. But please not Patreon, they have proven themselves to be politically oriented and cannot be trusted with support intended for the person. Either way, love the content and keep em' comin' :-)
They've had a patreon for a while now. They just don't advertise it so it's pretty unknown.
Just like Conan the barbarian and the northman
while I am personally going with the Portugese sniper takedown version, it is a wonderful story, and it should be a film
Quick make more content
A time I won't understand. Now our elderly leaders throw a bunch of kids in front of the horde.
y so much bass on voice
Why do Kings and Princes employ elephants? Because they’ll work for peanuts!
Please check your information again, for Cambodian history. After the Varman dynasty ended, the Khmer Kingdom no long flourished. The new ruler was Trasok Paem, and his descendants. Not long after the change, this country had been under Siam for over 400 years. Even when the great King of Siam, King Naresuan had war with Burma; he called the troops (that period in Cambodia was called Longvek) from Cambodia to be the supporting troop for Siam. After being under Siam for such a long time, they asked France to help protect their country from Siam. They rather be French colony more than being Siam’s colony.🤣 This long period of time, being under Siam, they called it the Dark Age. Very recently, they changed this inauspicious name to Middle Period.
In THIS region, in terms of history, Burma and Siam were mighty countries. Laos was a so so. But in my point of view, Cambodia has always been a weak country, up until now.
Please don abondon us any mor
FIIRRSSSTTTT!! YUUSSS! Where's my congratulatory cupcake? I want my name on it! First time I've EVER been first! The 1st first! Yay me!
You're not first, though.

I think this pandemic has taught people the importance of multiple streams of income, unfortunately having a job doesn't mean security rather having different investments is the real deal..
