Pha Wing Chu...Hod District

For a brief history of “Pha Wing Chu, the immortal love legend” from the folktale of the Lanna people, thousands of years ago, Phraya Saen Tho, the ruler of Phitsadan Nakhon or the current city of Hot, had two children, Phra Nang Aen Fa and Phra Nai. Later, love between different social classes arose. Phra Nang Aen Fa fell in love with Noi Sing Kham, the son of a minister. When Phraya Saen Tho found out, he called both of them to be warned that they had violated the palace law, which was punishable by death. Because of their love for each other, they fled together on white horses out of the city in the middle of the night. When Phraya Saen Tho found out, he was angry and ordered his soldiers to follow him along with Phra Nai, Phra Nang Aen Fa’s younger brother. While Noi Sing Kham was riding the horse, Phra Nang Aen Fa sat at the back. He heard the sound of soldiers’ horses chasing after them. When the couple rode their horses to the cliff, Noi Sing Kham did not dare to take his lover to his death. Phra Nang Aen Fa saw that she was in a tight spot, so she got on the horse instead, letting Noi Sing Kham sit on the back, and used a white cloth to tie the horse’s eyes, forcing the horse to crash into a ravine, causing both of them to die. #VisitHot District #Chiang Mai is worth visiting #Legend of Pha Wing Chu
