This is a swordfighting movie - excellent examples of 17th-century Thai swordplay. They use some big blades that go CLANG! when they hit each other. Often, the guys use two of them, one in each hand. They must be heavy, but they are handled with grace.
The bigger guys are wielding big battle hammers. I don't know how they could swing those big things around with any agility at all. They make it look pretty easy.
Unfortunately, the great battle scenes are broken up by melodrama involving the title character - a commoner - who is in love with a beautiful princess. She fancies him as well but is promised to a rat-faced colonel who is the court's top swordsman. Just so happens Sema is pretty good with the blade as well, having grown up making swords and studying the art.
Ratface has a sister who is the loanshark for the village. When Sema's dad falls behind in payments, Sema's sister is put to work in the lady's household. The girl and Sema's best friend are in love, so this sets up more conflict that distracts from the battles. I'll let you finish the movie.
