The story of Pong and Tong, two young men who leave their rural home to come to the city with the dream of becoming famous singers. However, the path is neither smooth nor glamorous. Not only do they struggle to find a way to become singers, but they barely have enough money to live day by day. They must rely on their determination, patience, and perseverance to reach their dreams. They fight and struggle, turning their lives around in every way to survive, live well, and maintain hope. Fortunately, they have a beautiful neighbor, Tukta, and their aunt, Vi, who help them, offer advice, and always encourage them.
The 2015 film Tae Khob Fah Chalui was titled in reference to the film.[4]
