The Romance Affair

Tai La, a vast cluster of traditional Thai houses resembling a kingdom, belongs to Nai Saen (Somchai Kemglad), a wealthy merchant. He has possessed great wealth from trading with foreigners since the early era when merchant ships from Europe first entered Siam. His business flourished until his reputation was renowned far and wide.
However, despite his vast wealth, Nai Saen lacks noble rank. This has created a deep-seated inferiority complex that he is determined to erase one day. Nai Saen married Nang Kaew (Sujira Arunpipat), who came from a family of high-ranking royal officials. They have one son named Kla (Wittawat Singlampong).
However, Sinsae Tian (Ajarn Viroj Tangvarnich) prophesied that Kla would bring disgrace to the family line. This deeply disappointed Nai Saen, making him yearn for another son to replace Kla. Nai Saen visited a brothel where he met Bu-nga (Pakkaramai Potranan), the star courtesan. Nai Saen fell in love with her and redeemed her to openly take her as his wife, causing immense displeasure to Nang Kaew.
