The Iron Ladies is the name of the team of gay men and trans people who became famous in Thailand for winning the national men's volleyball championships. However on one gloomy day after their win, the team splits into two. Nong heads on faction and creates his own team with the financial support of Kitti. Joining his team is April, May and June as well as Nhong, the gigantic gay guy who is Nong's new buddy. Meanwhile, the original team seems to have lost its touch and suffers a series of defeats. In the national Thailand league, Nong's team goes head to head against the original Iron Ladies team and beats them three times. Nong argues incessantly with Jung; the two former best friends are now bitter enemies, hurling insults at each other. Jung and Chai decide to make a journey to Xishuangbanna in China to see Pia, the beauty queen who's now making a career out of being a showgirl. It's not just a long rough trip to meet a friend. It's also full of sweet, spicy and hilarious memories of the early years when they first met at university. Edit Translation

The struggle of LBGTQ+ people and the representation of stereotypes in Thai cinema (II)

'The Iron Ladies 2' ('Satree Lek 2') is the sequel to the surprising success of a gay volleyball team, having problems with their success and fame, and the way they reunite after breaking up, due to creative differences. .
Youngyooth Thongkonthun repeats as director, but in the script Sayombhu Mukdeeprom joins Jira Maligool, to take up the story while the members of the volleyball team made up of homosexuals, kathoey (transsexual people) and a cisgender, meet to participate in another tournament.
when the royal team competed and won the national championship in Thailand. The two main characters, Mon and Jung, play two gay transgender women, who are constantly overlooked by volleyball coaches because of their appearance.
However, when Bee takes the reins of a local team after changing coaches, the call is issued to try out for a new team. When Mon and Jung are selected, most of the former players quit, leaving the coach in a difficult situation.
Mon and Jung are then forced to enlist the help of other gay and transgender friends they used to play volleyball with in college. These new players include Wit, who has not told his fiancée that he is gay, Pia, a transgender dancer, and Nong, a gay army recruit. When the competition begins, all but one of the players on the team are gay or transgender.
Due to their appearance on the pitch, many of the match officials intend to exclude the team, soon dubbed "The Iron Ladies", from the tournament. However, seeing the popularity of the team among the crowd will soon change their minds.
In the film's closing credits, the real "The Iron Ladies" are shown as they were at the time of the film's making.
The cast includes Sujira Arunpipat, Kokkorn Benjathikoon, Anucha Chatkaew, Surapun Chawpaknam, Shiriohana Hongsopon, Hathairat Jaroenchaichana, Giorgio Maiocchi, Peter Maiocchi, Chaicharn Nimpulsawasdi, Jesdaporn Pholdee, Phomsit Sitthijamroenkhun, Sutthipong Sitthijamroenkhun, Sahaphap Tor , Aphichart Vongkavee.
