This is the story of Wang Ta-khian village, where a beautiful woman called Phraethong once eloped with her lover Muen Khiri, after being forced to marry Phloeng. However, they were chased and caught by Phraethong, who in his rage killed Meun Khiri. Having witnessed the death of her lover, Phraethong committed suicide. The two dead lovers were buried together under a Ta-khian tree.
Hundreds of years passed, however, Phraethong could not enter the rebirth cycle due to committing suicide. Instead, she became Mae Ya Wang Ta-khian, an entity revered by the villagers. All she could do now was wait to meet her lover Muen Khiri again.
~~ Based on the Thai legend of Nang Ta-khian (นางตะเคียน).
