With Nak pregnant, Mak is
conscripted and sent to war (in
some versions of the story the war
is against the Shan tribe , while
others are not specific), where he
is seriously wounded. While he is
being nursed back to health in
central Bangkok , Nak and their
child both die during a difficult
childbirth. When Mak returns home,
however, he finds his loving wife
and child waiting for him. Neighbors
who try to warn him that he is
living with a ghost are all killed.
