Three young women gathered in a coffee bar in Bangkok tell and discuss three original ghost stories with each other. The first tale: In Bangkok, the young Jieb receives an ancient drum not listed in the order from the truck of Transportation Company owned by Mr. Anake. She calls her former Professor Arkom, who identifies the markings for good luck that she describes and tells the story of the orphan Paga. In 1917, the renowned music teacher Jangwah-Chuem and his wife Peng raise the beautiful Paga with their deformed son Gnod. Paga is a good and loving sister and daughter and becomes a great beautiful dancer. When Paga falls in love for the handsome Fond, the jealous Gnod and she vanish from their village. Jieb investigates the mystery of their disappearance and discloses the eerie truth with tragic consequences. The second tale: The gorgeous Pam receives a sample from her next-door neighbor of a love potion that makes the user irresistible to men. Pam does not know that the essence is made of blood of dead women and uses in a man in a night-club, who becomes an insatiable lover. When she uses in her acquaintance Tim, she finds the price of the aphrodisiac. The third tale: Detective Nop is in charge of the investigation of the death of a woman called Gunaya found hanged in a distant storeroom. He does not accept his chief position of suicide and he is convinced that it is a murder case. He investigates the husband of the victim, Vinal, and her former boy-friend In. When he believes he has solved the case, there is a twist with tragic consequences.

| CinefantastiqueSteve BiodrowskiThis 2001 trio of tales from Thailand is one of the lesser ghostly emanations to materialize in the funeral wake of Ring. |
| User ReviewLee ?Not a bad horror movie at all if you ask me. Not the best either though. |
| User ReviewKylie BThe first story of the trio is pretty much the standard haunting based on love that went wrong, the other two stories are more unusual but overall the film relies more on atmosphere (which in places is a bit too subtle) than on frights or chills. Some of the effects are interesting considering the relatively low budget, and the acting isn't terrible. If you're interested in watching this it would be better to watch it as a set of supernatural drama stories, rather than as horror. Have fun noticing the occasional western horror references too. |
| User ReviewPaul MMajor let down, only 1 of the stories is mildly scary. Looks good but just doesn't live up to its potential. |
| User ReviewAnthony VOxide Pang's segment is good. The others are so-so. |
| User ReviewPrivate Uif they had taken the scary story from this movie and made it into a full length horror movie, it would hav been superb!! the other 2mini stories suck really!! |
| User ReviewKathleen S3 women/3 stories: romantic, eerie, dramatic. |
| User ReviewDaniel JSome of the best horror movies of this young century having been coming out of Thailand. Unfortunately, I wouldnâ??t count Phee sam baht aka Bangkok Haunted among them. What you have here are three stories being told by three young women sitting inside a Bangkok bar. Each vignette strikes its own unique tone and conveys its own peculiar atmosphere, but all share a complete lack of scares, seem to end prematurely, and â?? most importantly â?? left me feeling confused to varying degrees. |
| User Reviewjames gThe film is dissapointing as it never quite captures the atmosphere of countless other Asian horrors. The film comes off looking like some second rate gritty 80's production. There are a few nice ideas, and since the film is made of three shorts you can take them at your leisure. |
| User ReviewSarah CDidn't hold my attention at all and the stories were weak and confusing. |
