Behind one of Thailand’s best-known ghost legends is a story of love that has been told for more than a hundred years…

This Halloween, I’d love to introduce you to “Mae Nak Phra Khanong” and the devotion surrounding her legend.

According to Thai folklore, Nak lived beside the Phra Khanong canal with her husband, Mak. While she was pregnant, Mak was called away for military service. Nak and her baby died during childbirth, but her love and longing kept her spirit waiting for her husband to return.

When Mak came home, he lived with his wife and child, unaware that they had already passed away. Their story became a legend of love, attachment, and the pain of separation, with details varying across generations of retelling.

But how far back does the written record go?

The Thailand Foundation cites an 1899 article by K. S. R. Kulap in the newspaper “Siam Praphet,” which suggested that the story was inspired by a woman named Amdaeng Nak. However, that account differed from the familiar legend and attributed the supposed haunting to human trickery.

This article provides evidence that Mae Nak’s story was already circulating more than a century ago. It does not, however, conclusively establish her identity or verify the supernatural events.

Over time, her story has been retold through musical theatre, literature, and film. According to the Thai Film Archive, film adaptations date back to 1936, helping this local legend reach a much wider audience.

One place that certainly exists is the Mae Nak Shrine at Wat Mahabut in Bangkok’s On Nut area, in Suan Luang district. Devotees affectionately call her “Ya Nak,” or “Grandmother Nak,” as a sign of respect. Visitors come to pay their respects and seek blessings, including blessings for love, inspired by her legendary devotion to her husband.

Worship and prayers are matters of personal belief. What is clear is that her story continues to hold meaning for many people and remains part of Thailand’s cultural heritage.

This year, I chose to wear an outfit inspired by Mae Nak, with respect for the legend and those who honor her—to share the story of a woman whose love and patient waiting continue to live on in people’s memories. 🤍
