Mae Nak

After one day reading Chiangmai daily news, I came across a crazy story called Mae Nak, regarding a well-known Thai female ghost. The story is based on events that took place during the reign of King Rama IV. A beautiful woman named Nak, who lived on the banks of the Phra Khanong Canal had an undying love for her husband Mak. While Mae Nak was pregnant, Mak was drafted into the Thai Army and sent to war where he was seriously wounded. While being nursed back to health in Bangkok, Mae Nak and her child died during childbirth. When Mak recovered from his injuries, he returned home to find his wife and child waiting for him. One morning, the neighbors approached Mak warning him that they are not his wife and kid, but he refused to believe them.

One day, Mae Nak was preparing Nam Phrik and accidentally dropped a lime off the table. As she reached to retrieve the lime, she stretched her arm an unusual distance to pick it up revealing that she is most definitely a ghost. Mak noticing the incident and realizing that his wife is indeed a ghost sneaked out of the house entering Wat Mahabut (holy ground) to hide from Mae Nak. In her grief, Mae Nak terrorized the people of Phra Khanong for causing Mak to leave her. However, a powerful exorcist captures Mae Nak, confining her in a jar and throws her into the Phra Khanong canal. Unfortunately, an old couple new to Phra Khanong finds the jar while fishing and opened it releasing Mae Nak. Eventually, a distinguished monk known as Somdej Toh arrives to assist the people of Phra Khanong. He approachs Mae Nak with calmness, love, and compassion and with his guidance she leaves her human form and moves to a place of rest and peace.
