Chanocol has a wife, Mai Kaew, and a son waiting for him at home. Mekhala, meanwhile, has her own secret relationship: with a particularly jealous snake whose fangs soon have Chanachol's name all over them...

You go live with him.

Live with the man I love.

Tell him I'm sorry.

You and me-let's finish

everything here.

Never meet again

in this life or the next life.

Snake!

I'm sorry.

The driver saw a snake

so he stomped on the brakes.

He wasn't sure

if anyone hit their head.

Bangkok folks think

that was a big snake.

But for the locals here

in Suphanburi, that's a tiny one.

At the Thai house we'll visit,

there are no snakes.

Don't be afraid!

Miss Mekala,

are you afraid of snakes?

Snakes? They're not that scary.

If we don't hurt them,

they won't hurt us.

Well, I'm afraid of them.

Anyway, Miss Mekala,

let me keep close to you.

Mr. Boy, you seem more scary

than the snakes.

Chanachon a very unusual name.

Mr. Pakpoom's friend.

He spent most of his life abroad

and just moved back to Thailand.

I hear he's keen on Thai culture.

Not a chance. Married,

with one kid.

Be careful, it's slippery.

Please come in.

Mr. Chanachon, are you okay?

You look pale.

I'm okay.

Please come this way.

You are welcome to rest here.

I'll bring some water and snacks.

This is cute.

What kind of dessert?

It's called "ja mongkut".

A traditional Thai dessert.

Where is Mekala?

She's been gone for a while now.

You seen to be a loner.

Not really.

I saw these beautiful flowers

and I wanted to take a closer look.

They're called "peep flowers".

Very fragrant, but I'm not sure

if you'll like them.

Thai house are split

into 3 sections.

This house is rare-it is divided

into 5 section.

There's no electricity.

We live like in the past.

Locals think this house is haunted.

Your ancestors must

have had many wives.

Actually, you're right.

Both my grandfather and my father

had several wives.

Who are the people in the photo?

My grandfather and his wives.

This is my father and his wives.

Where are you in this photo,

Miss Mekala?

Why don't you try

to search for me...

right where Mr. Chanachon is gazing.

Here is Kosoom, my new wife.

And this is Mekala.

How old are you?

Five, sir.

The first year I was sent there

on the job assignment, I had a wife.

The next year I had a daughter.

Kosoom.

Here are my three wives,

Chua, my first wife. Ning and Sai.

You're new here.

You must obey them.

No fights are allowed.

I don't like fights.

Yes, sir.

You too, Mekala.

You must obey your step-mother

the same as your own mother.

Understood?

Anyone who likes Thai flowers

can follow me.

There are lots of flowers here.

We built a mound so

they won't get flooded.

Since we're here, let's see them.

Watch out for snakes!

Are there any here?

Yes, a big cobra.

Count me out!

If you're not afraid of snakes,

follow me.

It's a jungle out her no one

to care for it.

Your housekeeper gave it to me.

For making noise to scare off snake.

That's a sugar cane knife.

Be careful, it's very sharp.

Old Yim was a sugar cane cutter.

The cutters used to play

a gambling game.

No one plays it nowadays.

What kind of flowers do I smell?

Several kinds.

The strongest smell is probably

"kaew" flowers.

It smells familiar.

Not just the flowers

but this Thai house, too.

It seems familiar to me as well.

I'm glad I met you.

You seem to know

a lot about Thai culture.

I'm interested, too.

I probably have to learn from you.

My pleasure.

How can I contact you?

It's easy if you really

want to see me.

Let's go. It's time.

You have to go

see some other places.

I didn't see any snakes.

There is one

but you just didn't see him.

Hurry, grandpa. I'm scared!

Me too!

This afternoon

why did you talk about snakes?

So many people,

I'm afraid someone would have met it.

I was with them,

he could not do any harm.

He would not harm you,

but not so sure for others.

An innocent crowd

would have get him angry.

I going to change, go away.

I told you to go. Just go.

So annoying,

I'll beat you to death someday.

Any beautiful Thai house

impress you?

Just one but the owner probably

won't sell.

Piece of cake.

You know money

can buy everything these days.

I don't know what's wrong with me.

I'm just not hungry.

One ice coffee, Please.

- Hello, Tao.

- You're here so early, Mekala.

If I'm late, you 'll be sold out.

I want noodles with broth.

- How are you, uncle?

- I'm just fine.

How many kids do you have?

Hello! Please vote

for Supoj-number 24.

Don't forget to help us.

Thank you.

Are you running in the election?

Details inside.

Any questions, you can ask me.

First, I planned not to ask.

But since I met you,

let me ask you something.

Who chose the photo for the poster?

Bad choice.

I think Supoj looks much

nicer in person.

Let's go. You're wasting too

much time here.

After you're done,

where are you going? Straight home?

Not sure. It depends.

I'll drop by later.

Don't bother. Go do your own stuff.

If you aren't elected,

you're going to blame me.

Use your muscles.

How will it be clean

if you do it like that?

Kosoom, the floor is not

that dirty.

You don't have to overdo it.

Yes, ma'am.

But the ceiling beams are dusty.

Clean them thoroughly so

everyone can breathe easily.

Be careful, Kosoom.

Why did you teach your daughter

to stare at people like that?

I'm sorry, ma'am.

Mekala, get over here! Now!

I'm sorry, ma'am.

She didn't mean to.

I said get over here right now!

Ma'am ma'am

Mr. Supoj is here, ma'am.

Tell him to wait downstairs.

I'll be right there.

Yes, ma'am.

Mekala.

It's OK. You can go.

You are really mean you won't

let me come upstairs to meet you.

What's up?

I want to take you for a boat ride.

No, we'll be the talk of the town.

We'll look like...

...we're having an affair.

What about in the past?

Didn't we have an affair?

I thought we agreed...

...that it was just a fun fling

and it already ended.

But I don't want to end it, Mekala.

I love you.

Let's get back together.

You're raping me, Supoj.

I love you.

Snake!

Snake! Snake!

Don't! No, please don't!

You won't die for at least

half an hour.

Go to the health center.

They have the serum.

Be careful! The snake may be

hiding somewhere!

Hurry! Don't worry about me.

Yes, I want to find out about a man

with a snake bite.

Yes, How is he? Yes.

Thank you.

- Here's a snack for you.

- Thanks.

Scorpio girls the reflection

of your life has come.

You must weigh between

your desires and the right things.

Your heart will guide

you to happiness...

...but it may not be right thing.

It may not be the perfect love.

There's someone thinking about you

and he must weigh it too.

You guys, excuse me for a moment.

Pakpoom, please take care of

this client.

I thought you threw away

my phone number.

I've been busy at work

so I didn't have time to call you.

I hope I'm not bothering you.

Not at all. I'm glad you called.

Thanks for meeting me today.

No need to thank me.

I'm glad we can meet again,

Chanachon.

Who gave you this name?

My dad, my step-father did.

Maybe he wanted me to conquer water.

I had a bad experience

in the water when I was young.
