Khun Mor Mor 3

Kawi (Trin Setthachok) and Boonrat (Panadda Woranyan) come from a family that has inherited the traditions of Thai massage and herbal cultivation since the time of their ancestors. Their children — Kankrao (Premsinee Rattanasopa), the eldest; Samet (Nuntasai Pisolyabut), the second; and Makongkaew, or Kaew (Morakot Kittisara), the youngest — have all studied these skills until they became highly proficient.
However, Kaew chooses a different path: she becomes a trader instead. This is because the villagers believe that descendants who continue the massage profession will turn into phi pob — malevolent spirit-possessors. As a result, Kaew has had problems since childhood with friends who mock her because of her family’s profession. On top of that, some male customers assume female masseuses are loose women and try to buy sexual favors after a massage. Her beauty also leads to unwanted harassment. All of these problems are the reasons Kaew does not want to follow the family tradition of massage.
After finishing Mathayom 3 (Grade 9), Kaew changes direction and becomes a vendor at the market together with her relative Matoom (Kritsadee Phuangprayong). Since her mother must take care of the massage shop, her father must tend the herbal garden, and Grandma Phiengjai (Panadda Komaratud) is responsible for mixing the medicines, there is no one left to take the produce, herbs, and herbal compress balls to market. Kaew rarely gives massages to anyone, except occasionally to friends or older people suffering from aches and pains.
Thanchayut (Siwat Chotchaicharin), by contrast, is a wealthy young man from an old noble family, descended from Luang Ratchaphisit and Than Phuying Pajeeratana (who is still alive in the present day). By the time of his parents, Jarutat and Phatrin, the family is still very rich and owns a great deal of land. The couple has three children: Nusamon (Jamie Bouher), the eldest; Itta, the middle child; and Thanchayut, the youngest.
Unlike his older siblings, Thanchayut is very down-to-earth. Not only does he choose to study at an open university, but he also dislikes mixing with high society. Instead, he prefers friends of ordinary means. Phatrin worries that her son will not amount to anything, so she keeps trying to force him into an engagement with Jareekorn (Parada Kongthong), the daughter of a powerful businessman. But Thanchayut dislikes snobbish women, and Jareekorn in turn dislikes his friends — especially Phuwadol (Phichayadon Phuengphan), who works as a document courier, because she looks down on him as beneath them.
Phuwadol often has to take leave from work to visit his father, who is partially paralyzed and lives in the provinces. Whenever Phuwadol is away, Thanchayut sometimes volunteers to deliver documents in his place. Eventually, unable to endure his family’s pressure over Jareekorn any longer, Thanchayut decides to run away and stay with Phuwadol at his flat. He must then adjust to his friend’s humble way of living, though he sometimes slips into spending money freely to treat his friends, even while Phuwadol keeps reminding him to live more frugally.
News then arrives from home that Phakphum, Phuwadol’s father, has become seriously ill and can no longer take care of himself. Phuwadol is deeply worried and decides to resign from his job to return home and care for his father. Amused and curious, Thanchayut asks to go with him.
Phakphum grows seasonal vegetables for sale, so Phuwadol’s duty is to drive the produce to the fresh market, always accompanied by Thanchayut. For the young rich man, the world of small-scale trading is a completely new experience. He enjoys becoming “Nai Yut” or “Jao Yut” to the local merchants. But because he has a habit of speaking without thinking and joking at the wrong moment, he initially gets into conflicts with the male vendors and motorcycle taxi drivers. Still, his good looks make him popular with many of the women vendors, especially Wantana (Parita Kosolsak), who sells fermented fish. Kaew, however, is very different — she cannot stand Yut’s loose mouth and irritating personality at all.
