This is an old tale of the people of Bang Kapi, depicting the passionate love of a young village man—so intense that it can no longer be contained.
It says:
 "The darker it gets, the harder he will push; the thicker the obstacles, the more he will break through… Oh my beloved, I would die so that the whole village may know how deeply I love you…"
“The Scar” (Plae Kao) tells the story of the lives and love of a young couple from Bang Kapi in the old days. Their way of life and livelihood were no different from those in other rural provinces. However, their love was far from smooth, as the girl’s relatives strongly disapproved and did everything they could to keep them apart—even going so far as to chain her to prevent her from seeing him. Yet the young man never gave up and continued to secretly visit her.
Eventually, her relatives sold her to a man in the city. Within a year, she transformed from a countryside girl into a modern urban woman, attracting the attention of many suitors. Later, upon hearing that her mother was gravely ill, she returned home to care for her. This gave the young man from Bang Kapi a chance to see her again, and their love, long suppressed, flared up even more intensely than before.
After her mother passed away, the brave young man dared to attend the funeral rites despite the hostility of her relatives. As a result, he was secretly attacked—but he fought back, killing several of them. In the end, he was shot, yet he struggled on, swimming toward a sacred banyan shrine where he had once sworn his love.
The young woman ran after him and jumped into the water to reach him. Realizing that their love had no future, the young man made a tragic decision—he stabbed his beloved, and the two sank beneath the water, dying together.
