UTHAI THEWI: THE TOAD QUEEN

Uthai Thewi was a product of forbidden love, being the daughter of a serpent (also known as a naga) princess and a male tree nymph. Blessed with magic and beauty, her mother decides to hide her in a toad's beauty to hide her otherworldly beauty and leaves her with humans to care for her. Despite this, she falls in love with a handsome prince, but the prince's mother didn't like her so she secretly arranges her son to marry a princess named Chantana.

Chantana, discovering Uthai Thewi's love for the prince, tries to kill her with black magic but fails. Out of revenge, Uthai Thewi disguises herself as an old hag who made herself known as the best beautician in town so Chantana would call upon her services. And as expected, Chantana calls Uthai Thewi to do her hair, so Uthai Thewi shaves her head and cuts into her skin with a razor. After the haircut, she persuades the princess to wear an 'anchovy hat' so that her hair will grow back more beautiful than ever. But the princess' cuts become infected and she ends up dying 7 days later.

After the death of the princess, Uthai Thewi reunites with the prince and live happily ever after.

KRASUE

There is a ghost known as Krasue in Thailand, though she has appeared in other Southeast Asian folklore. There have also been several movies and books that feature her because she is one of the most terrifying ghosts of Southeast Asia.

For those of you who may not know, Krasue is a noctural female spirit who appears as a young, beautiful woman. However, the problem with this spirit is that her entrails hang below her neck. As she moves from place to place, her head floats above the ground. Those who claimed to have seen her mention that they can see her heart, stomach, and intestines floating just below the head. She is also known for having vampire-like teeth and being covered in blood.

In this version, her origins come from Thailand. There once was a Khmer princess who was meant to marry a Siamese nobleman after her people were defeated in war. However, she was in love with a man who was of low status. Eventually, her and this man were caught together and sentenced to death by burning, precipitated by the Siamese nobleman she was engaged to. Before the execution, the princess cast a spell over herself so her body would remain unharmed by the fire. But the effect of the spell was delayed, so only her internal organs and head remained.

It is said she deals with a terrible curse - to feast on the blood of animals at night while living as a normal person in a body she stole during the day. Before daybreak, she must rejoin with the body.

There are three ways to kill a Krasue: (1) destroy the body when Krasue is hunting at night and replace it with the wrong body, (2) hide the body so she can't find it when daybreak arrives, or (3) the two parts of her body.
