TV sequel rewrites the law: Phrom Likhit sparks interest in Thailand’s ancient laws

[snoop1130]

 

Thai television phenomenon Phrom Likhit, a sequel to the hit series Buppesannivas, has reignited interest in Thailand’s ancient laws. The series introduces a new character, Mae Klin, who frequently quarrels with the show’s protagonist, Mae Pudtan.

 

These verbal exchanges have led to a renewed curiosity about how Thailand’s archaic laws would handle such disputes, including the infliction of verbal and physical harm.

 

Phrom Likhit continues to engage audiences with its heated and dramatic storylines. Particularly notable is the introduction of Mae Klin, a character performed by actress Namtan-Pichukkana, who excels in her role as a villain. She frequently clashes with Mae Pudtan, a character brought to life by Bella-Ranee Campen. Their verbal sparring matches provide much of the series’ entertainment.

 

Despite numerous verbal confrontations between the two characters, no physical altercations have occurred. However, Thailand’s ancient laws offer clear guidance on how such situations should be handled.

 

The old Thai law, known as Prayaiyakarn Lakkan Wiwat Datee Kan, which covers disputes, verbal harm, and physical harm, explicitly outlines the penalties for these offences.
