Ghost of Mae Nak Phra Khanong
Mae Nak is a beautiful young woman, who lived by thePhra Khanong canal in Bangkok with her husband, Mak.
With Nak pregnant, Mak went for war and was severely injured. While he was being nursed in central Bangkok, both Nak and the child she was carrying died during childbirth. When Mak eventually returns home, however, he was cast under a spell and found his loving wife and his new child waiting for him like nothing was wrong. Neighbors who tried to tell Mak of the death of his wife and to warn him that he was living with ghost, met with grisly ends.
One day, while Nak was preparing nam phrik, she dropped a lime down to the cellar. In her haste, she extended her arm to pick the lemon from the upper floor through the floor's hole, not knowing that Mak saw the whole event. Terrified, he realized she was a ghost, and tried to find a way to flee without alerting her.
At night, Mak lied to Nak and said he had to go downstairs to urinate. He then broke a little hole in an earthen jar which was filled with water, so that Nak would think that he was urinating, and ran away into the night.
After discovering her husband had left, Nak pursued him. Mak saw his wife's ghost and concealed himself behind a Blumea balsamifera bush.According to Thai folklore, ghosts are afraid of the sticky Blumea leaves. Mak then ran from there to the temple of Wat Mahabut, where Nak could not enter, as it was a holy area.
In grief and despair Nak terrorized the people of Phra Khanong, venting her anger towards them for helping Mak to leave her. Eventually, Nak's ghost was bound by a powerful exorcist. After confining her within an earthen jar, he threw it into the canal.
There are several versions of the stories how Mae Nak disturb people around the place.However Mae Nak's story is popular because her true love and devotion for Mak inspires many people.
There is a shrine dedicated to Mae Nak at Wat Mahabut. In 1997 the shrine relocated to nearby Suan Luang district.
