  2. 2. The Tale Of Khun Chang Khun Phaen

    A vivid retelling of a classic Thai epic that follows the passionate, destructive love triangle between the charismatic warrior-magus Khun Phaen, the wealthy but hapless rival Khun Chang, and the beautiful Wanthong, weaving episodes of romance, jealousy, legal wrangling, battlefield exploits and supernatural intervention into a sprawling narrative that captures the earthy humor, social satire and shifting fortunes of early-modern Siam.
