Inspired by real events, The Last Executioner is the story of Chavoret Jaruboon, the last person in Thailand whose job it was to execute by gun. A rock musician who adored Elvis, but took a 'respectable' job to support the family he loved devotedly, and then constantly tried to reconcile the good and bad karma that came from this decision.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Vithaya Pansringarm is actually a musician who performed Elvis covers in Bangkok clubs before acting. The guitar skills? All him.
Thailand officially switched to lethal injection in 2003, making Jaruboon literally the last. The film was blocked from Thai release for years due to 'negative portrayal.'
