Chon vows to play tricks on Nari but as he’s forever tripping over himself, he has yet to succeed.
Ta Thung, the scarecrow
Ta Thung is a gentle and kind old man we affectionately call ‘grandpa’ (‘khun ta’ in Thai). Ta Thung represents the scarecrow, the loyal and trusted friend of the farmers. Baked by the sun and battered by the wind and rain, the scarecrow stands guard and remains vigilant chasing away birds that threaten to invade the rice-fields. Never short of entertaining stories to share with his young friends, Ta Thung is adored by the children. He’s also their best friend. A wise and knowledgeable man, the young ones seek his advice. He listens to them patiently and helps solve their problems. Kan Yao, the young man from Chanthaburi, frequently stops by to seek Ta Thung’s advice on matters related to agriculture… as well as affairs of the heart. Time after time, Kan Yao walks away with sound advice and is never disappointed.
