His adventure begins after he grows up and begins to seek after him.
Synopsis
On a magical island called "Kokaeophitsadan" (เกาะแก้วพิสดาร), a mermaid gives birth to a child named "Sudsakorn" (สุดสาคร) whose father is Phra Aphaimani (พระอภัยมณี). The boy is reared and cared for by a wise, old hermit who eventually helps his mentee rescue his parents from a yakṣī called Nang Phisueasamut (นางผีเสื้อสมุทร).
The boy soon begins a quest in search of his true father, and begs the hermit to teach him martial arts in order to protect himself from the dangers that would happen along the way. The hermit does so, and also gives Sudsakorn a special gift, a flying horse-like creature called Maninmangkorn (ม้านิลมังกร, jet dragon horse), to shorten his journey. After Sudsakorn and this creature leave the island, they are lured into a haunted island by evil spirits and become lost. They fight for several hours and escape various threats.
Later on in their journey, they encounter a nudist who steals Maninmangkorn and attempts to kill the boy by pushing him over a cliff. Sudsakorn unexpectedly survives the fall and sets out to retrieve Maninmangkorn. He hunts down the nudist and engages him successfully in combat. Sudsakorn is so successful that it draws the attention of the king, who decides to adopt him.
Time passes and Sudsakorn, having grown bigger and stronger, continues his quest to find his father, with the help of his newly acquired brothers who board ships to follow Sudsakorn out to sea. In middle of the second journey, a large group of giant butterflies suddenly attack them and capture Sudsakorn’s brothers and carry them off to an island. Sudsakorn follows the butterflies to the island and kills them all. He then rescues his brothers and finally discovers his long-lost father in the process.[1][2][3]
