Yes, folks. This is she. The ghost. 
Upcoming Thai Dramas: 2023+ Edition
| W E L C O M E A G A I N | This article will also be in sections. I know some of us don't mind watching lakorns RAW which is why the first section of the article will have subbed recommendations, the second will have RAW recommendations, and the final section will be upcoming titles to keep an eye on. In addition to that, I want to just put it clearly out here: I will keep scary GIFs/Images of the ghosts in question under the mentioned dramas. So you might want to turn the light on or move to a more public area if you need to. You can't cuss me out anymore ok?
Now let us begin!! (ﾉ´ヮ`)ﾉ*: ･ﾟ |
And so a new year has arrived and with it arrives a new LR∙BT article from me! I know it's a little out of topic considering Halloween is long gone but it's never too late to get horror drama recommendations, am I right? In the past, I have recommended some horror movies[1][2][3], so this time I have arrived with dramas with "ghosts" specifically, that I have watched, I have watched and enjoyed, am watching and liking, wish to watch in the future, or think someone else would like. The said dramas might be horror, romance, suspense, and even comedy. The principal focus in this recommendation list will be that the drama will have "ghost(s)" as an important factor or driving force for the drama. |

Release: 2012 | Paeka (Anne) is a Thai curator who works at the Asian Institute of Textile & Apparel in Thailand. She is a tall, hard-working Thai woman and greatly adored by Harold (Anant), the managing director of the institution. One night, while Paeka stays in the institute overtime to take inventory of the 30 Qipao that were sent by Jao Wern Yuey, she finds an extra Qi Pao secretly packed and kept underneath one of the dresses. The beautiful pink Qipao with pretty Botan flowers, however, has a rip that seems to be made by a knife and is also inhibited by its previous owner, May Lee (Anne), who has been unable to pass on after being murdered on her wedding day. |  ⇢ Not horror.
It's wise to note that there is a side character who deals with psychological and physical abuse from her husband, to a point where she is incapable of leaving her husband despite him gaslighting her, cheating on her, and so on. Everyone who is sensitive to that, you have been warned. Otherwise, this is a very good suspense drama that will keep you on your toes. I was entertained, despite expecting it to be horror. |
 | ||
Release: 2015 | Tharatorn (Mario) is a stoic and strict businessman who has supernatural powers and has always seen Kaew (Mint) in his dreams. Tharatorn also has a condition that he believes to be Dissociative Identity Disorder, whereby he turns into a completely different person and only remembers Kaew. However, to his surprise, he is actually being possessed by Mek (Hiranbuth) who both he and Kaew share past life's karma. The title of the drama stems from the fact that both Tharatorn's soul and Mek's soul are in love with Kaew for many lifetimes, | ⇢ Headstrong main leads
I watched this drama around four years ago, while I was still young both in real life and in the lakorn scene, but I remember that I really enjoyed this drama despite the SFL being annoying as hell. The first lifetime for the main leads wasn't the most pleasing, of course, but they did get a happy ending in the second lifetime. Oh, and Mario looked absolutely adorable every time he got possessed hahaha.

Release: 2019 | On his birthday, Med (Singto), a sickly heir to a rich family dies accidentally. Due to the manner of his death, he remains as a ghost for 20 years. He dreams of reincarnation as he waits in the graveyard, lonesome watching other ghosts getting offerings from their family whereas his own grave is full of weeds and dirt. However, one day his lonesome life lights up when he meets Thun (Ohm), a young boy who is able to see and talk with him during every Ching Ming Festival. A few years pass and Thun, now a university student, reveals that Med was killed and promises to identify the reason behind Med's murder and takes Med to live with him. As they solve the issues relating to Med's death, the boys find themselves falling in love with each other despite the obvious fact that they must part one day. | ⇢ Romance + suspense focused
I remember I read the novel before I watched this drama. I had high hopes and for the most part, it was met. However, personally, I was slightly disappointed that the drama was different from the novel. This drama is sweet and sugary. Yes, there is an episode where we see the compulsory angst, it does get resolved due to Thun finally getting a grip. I think, the one thing that disappointed me the most was how even when Mek found out how he died, he did not seek retribution while in the book he got his revenge. The bottom line is that this is one of the finest BLs Thailand has produced so far. |
 | ||
Release: 2016 | A story of a young dancer, Dok Soi (Now) who allowed a ghost (man-eater) to possess her body in exchange to save her father’s life. The ghost uses her body to catch prey while she must endure the suffering of her bloody hands. When she meets a young officer called Krai (New) who arrived in her village in order to find and kill the "Man-eater" that killed his father. Housing the ghost in her body while being in love with Krai, Dok Soi must constantly fight a battle within herself as she attempts to keep the ghost at bay and also dare to love without the guilt of possibly having killed her lover's father. | ⇢ Horror + Melodrama
When I began watching this, it was not even subbed completely. Nonetheless, I was so intrigued I completed the rest RAW and I don't regret it. This was a good drama, I won't lie. The ghost oppar was fun to look at too.

Release: 2019 | In the first life, they are twins. The older one was called Kasalong (Yaya) who was raised by her mother who taught her to be sweet and gentle. The younger was called Songpeep (Yaya) who was raised by her father is cruel and selfish just like him. Both the twins fell in love with Tinnakrit (James). However, he fell in love with Kasalong. In the end, they both tragically died. In the next life, Songpeep was reborn as Pimpisa (Yaya), a dermatologist who was dating Dr. Prasawin (James). However, the ghost of Kasalong still lingered around them and this time she did not want to be nice, this time she wanted revenge. | ⇢ Horror + Drama
I am going to be very honest here and tell you that if you have a habit of critically thinking when watching a drama (like me), you might just end up dropping this (like me). The production staff really made this like it was fiction, there are many logic-defying moments scattered within this drama I am sure. I have still recommended this because I strongly believe that there is someone who will enjoy this. Hey at least the OST is pretty decent and the ending is happy. |
 | ||
Release: 2017 | Taechat (Sean) is a good-looking and good-hearted guy. He works for a charity fund where he bumps into and meets superstar Jarawee (Vill). |
Sean is a treat to watch in this drama. In fact, this drama is the drama where decided that Sean is a wonderful actor. The relationship between the ML and the FL is very healthy and pure. The ML tried his level best to help the FL, who slowly let go of the knots in her heart and turned gentle. Honestly, we all know who the bad people are from the beginning so it's a matter of time before we see them get ruined. In the end, the FL goes to get reincarnated and comes back 20 years later, when the ML is still alive and waiting. Therefore, those who do not like age gaps, avoid this. Overall, it's definitely worth a watch. |
 | ||
| Release: 2015 Episodes:20 Duration: 1hr 50min MDL Rating: 8.0 My Rating: 9.0 | The story revolves around 5 girls. They all were born on the same day and they all were given a gift. It was an extra sense. They have a sixth sense. Yanin (Ja) is the girl with the knowledge. She can read magic cards and she also can talk to spirits. Sukhontaros (Eye) can smell the type of spirits they are. | ⇢ Slightly horror Considering the episode count, I believe that this might be along with one to marathon or binge. I have begun watching the first season, and it's extremely entertaining. The ghosts are gruesome looking but this is more comedy than horror. Speaking of viewer reactions, the majority of the response about the drama is positive and viewers also rewatch it a lot which. is forever a good sign. |
 | ||
Release: 2019 | Marut (Film) stumbles upon a beautiful ghost by chance, Dao (Bifern). He is immediately smitten by her, but things are not as they seem. Dao is a ghost that acts as a succubus for a scarier entity. Marut helps Dao break free of this monstrous entity. Dao becomes human one day and the two live as a married couple. However, Marut’s mother refuses to accept Dao. She brings another woman into the home and with black magic, this woman is able to conquer Marut’s heart. Marut becomes a completely different man and begins to treat Dao badly. He even physically harms her at times. | ⇢ Very bingeable
I am curious about this one, I have been for three years now. The one review about this title spoke very beautifully about it and gave it a 10. Another comment spoke about the circumstances under which the FL and the ML first met. It was when the FL was around 80 but of course, she looked like she was 20 something and the ML was around 12. For those who feel awkward about the fact that the FL met the ML when he was a child and still got romantically involved with him later on, please avoid this. If you hate watching dramas where the ML is done black magic on and then begins to treat the FL badly, you might wanna skip this one. |
 | ||
| Gifted with the ability to see ghosts, Treekarn (James) must overcome the fear of the undead as he discovers the truth about a long-last love (Mew) from his past. |
I think that if you're someone who enjoyed watching dramas like "Let's Fight Ghost", you might enjoy this one too! Although I do hope for more depth in the plot based on the channel. I personally plan on watching this as soon as I'm done with my current CW list because I do like Mew and James Ma. Let's hope for the best! |
 | ||
Release: 2017 | Ja (Peak) is a saleswoman at a big company. Luck is on her side and she has made quite a lot of profit this year and might earn a high position in the company. If it wasn't enough to have to compete with him out of nowhere, he just rented a room at her house. Will love still blossom between them? | ⇢ Horror
Ah yes.. my absolute first horror lakorn. I binged through this entire show like I had nothing else going on. It was... scary. I don't mean this in the sense that you will be terrified, but certain scenes do make the tips of your fingers buzz and the back of your neck twitch. It's also sad because some lovable characters die and that left me with a very bitter taste in my mouth.I guess, in the end, it was a HE. |
 | ||
| Two ghostly guardians Grandma Kala and Grandpa Kalee leave no souls behind as they share the untold stories of the dead in this compilation of fear and fright. | ⇢ Horror!
Each of the 13 episodes was a separate short horror story told by grandma and grandpa ghosts.They aimed to give us lessons and advice, but it was still creepy nonetheless. |
 | ||
| Release: 2018 Episodes:24 Duration: 60min MDL Rating: 7.0 My Rating: 5.5 | Malaiwan (Praiya) is a beautiful and charming woman who's high-flown, has singing and acting talent, and became a stage actress. She's the famous star of Bangkok Naruemit theatre, but everyone hates her for being mean and arrogant. One day, Ward (Vill), a girl who came from a rural area, threatens to make Malaiwan lose everything she has, but she will do anything to protect it. | ⇢ Plot has potential
I also didn't like the actor playing the ML or even his character. Nonetheless, I still think that for someone who wants a casual no-brainer watch, this would be good for you. Oh, and plus, it's a HE. |
 | ||
Release: 2018 | Pikul (Bella) and Luang Yot’s (Great) love began in Suphan when he saved her from drowning. Pikul was a flutist in her father’s orchestra. Their talent won them the support and sponsorship of Khun Yot's father (Ui) which made Pikul and her family move to live in their land. However, their relationship was destined to be doomed with misunderstandings and deception as Khun Yot was engaged to be married to Sarapee (Kao) who was determined to have him even if it meant killing Pikul’s entire family and Khun Yot’s mother. | ⇢ Three lifetimes
Nonetheless, from the synopsis, I am sure that you all know to expect angst in the 1st and 2nd timelines. In the 3rd timeline, we can expect the ML and FL to finally have the opportunity to unite as humans & have their "happy ending". |
 | ||
| When the hair of a famous female model, Kesinee (Namtarn), who died mysteriously was taken to make a wig by the hands of envious enemies, her best friend Mintra (Preem) and Kawin (Masu) seek out to find the truth. Their obstacles don’t come as easy when the other party is powerful and others vengeful spirits. | ⇢ Boring first EP.
I was very interested, that had caught my attention. But then the FL lead showed up and went on ahead to slap and yell the ML and I was like... eh? I think if you like Preem + Masu's CP, you might be able to push through. I went in for Namtarn. |
 | ||
Release: 2013 | The story opened with a noble couple in Rangsiya Palace. Than Chai (Chatchai) was married to Than Ying (Lalita) but also had a mistress he loved, Mom Bulahn (Jintra), who was pregnant with his first child... One day Fueng (Thanya) who is very loyal to Than Ying drives away Bulahn who had just given birth to a boy Chai Daew (Pop) unaware that she was pregnant with twins. Bulahn and her twin daughter Roong (Patricia) ends up in Pott Pannathorn's house whose wife dies on that day after giving birth to her second child Nurima (Mitra) and creates a bad impression in the mind of Chaat (Son). | ⇢ Trash ML
Thankfully, Son Yuke isn't her twin and this isn't Twincest. I think from the premise this is going to be heavy on angst and tears. The addition of Feung's ghost probably won't help. Honestly, this is all because uncle Than Chai wanted to eat from two plates at the same time. Tsk Tsk. |
 | ||
Release: 2011 | Rerin (Aff), the textile professor goes to take a vacation in Chiang Mai because she wants to have time to think over her relationship with Thanin, her fiance (Jason). During her vacation, she meets Suriyawong (Athichart), the owner of The Chang Restaurant in Chiang Mai who descends from the prince and Grandma Bua Ngern (May & Pisamai). Suriyawong falls in love at first sight with Rerin and feels like she's someone who he has longed for. However, Wongprajan (Kob), Suriyawong's relative and the owner of Le Laos Restaurant comes in to obstruct their love and declare herself as his fiancee.  | ⇢ Horror
This didn't stop him from also falling for Rerin because heh... anyways, Rerin and Siriwong fell for each other but Siriwattana fell for Rerin as well. Meanwhile, Mom Bua was very jealous and so she always tortured Rerin with her trusted servant Moei. Moei was so loyal she even killed herself to turn into a ghost and continue serving Mom Bua, which brought a lot of trouble in the second life where she looked all sorts of messed up. I mean, look! |

Release: 2017
| This drama has three lifelines. In the first, the female lead was the princess of Laos, Jao Nang Noy (Vill), and the male lead was a Thai prince, Than Chai Yai (Son), who had just arrived from Europe after completing his education. Directly upon his arrival, he finds out that he is engaged to the second female lead, Wilaileyka (Bee). However, when he gets home and sees Jao Nang Noy, it's love at first sight. He is resolute in his love and in the end, his mother who doesn't like Jao Nang Noy because she's from Laos gives in and allows them to marry. However, on the night of their marriage, the Jao Nang Noy dies of poisoning. | ⇢ Headstrong & loyal ML
The chemistry between Sonyuke and Vill is as amazing as always. The cinematography was good. So was the OST. However, there was one thing that annoyed me so much. The ML was focused on asking the SFL for forgiveness, and this woman did not deserve it because hello she killed the FL twice! By the end, I felt like the ML owed me an apology since he was so open to giving them away for free! |
 | ||
| The lakorn explores the idea of a powerful ancient box that could make your deepest desires come true. Much like a genie indebted to you, this “glong raak boon”- this box of holy source — asks you to repay with three deeds. | ⇢ Bingeable
Release: 2012 |
 | ||
 Release: 2015 | Rinlanee (Davika) is the star dancer in her class at her university. However, since she is an orphan, she is often teased and picked on by her classmates. Despite the malice, she finds support and comfort in her closest friends Chompoo (Eamvasant), Feungfaa, and ATM (Peerakorn). Techin (Fluke) is the son of General Narong and his wife Madam Jitraa (Savitree). His parents want him to marry Chompoo, a childhood friend, but he refuses, saying that he only sees her as a sister. When he meets Rinlanee at a school play, he immediately falls in love with her because of her resemblance to the woman of his dreams.
| ⇢ ANGST ALERT
The ending is sad, very sad. Both the FL lead and ML die. And because the FL has killed so many people, she and the ML will never be able to meet again. Which honestly in my opinion is a whole lot of bullcrap, but then also a blessing because sister needs a better lover whenever she gets to reincarnate. Also, don't be a bully, kids! |
 | ||
Release: 2017 | Cindy (Poyd) the most popular transgender showgirl of Plern Pimarn, is hated by everyone due to her being mean and arrogant. Especially by Koki, a junior showgirl who needs to beat her. Praewa (Tai) the owner of Plern Pimarn knows about Cindy but she doesn't do anything about her because Cindy can earn the most income. One day, Cindy mysteriously dies during a performance. Everybody is shocked by this but no one can know that Cindy's spirit is still here for revenge against everyone who hurt her. | ⇢ Horror
Now that that is done — best believe the MDL page for this drama is as scary as the lakorn lmao — the only thing on there are comments regarding the links to this lakorn hahaha. Still, I went over the first episode to get some idea, and I think it's worth watching. If not for the drama watch it to stare at just how beautiful Poyd (FL) is! |
 | ||
Release: 2018 | It's a belief that money (coins) that were put into a dead man's mouth will be used by them in their next life. When the dead has been disturbed and the money stolen, the dead will somehow get it back. Whoever took the money will have to face the consequences.  | ⇢ Horror
I would like to confess to shipping the FL with the ghost dude despite knowing that the FL is the ML's gf. This also takes into consideration the fact that the ghost dude is the ML's dad. This means I'm basically shipping the FL with her future father-in-law. But in my defense... I can't help it okay! Just look! I think even the producers were shipping them! |
 | ||
Release: 2017 | A promise from a past life has led Rasika (Camilla) and Waruek (Win) to meet again at Ruean Phayom. Rasika arrives at the home as Waruek’s niece’s, Mew's, teacher. The familiarity felt by Rasika came with the appearance of Mae Jit’s (Kannaporn) spirit whom Rasika is unsure if her appearance meant her good or meant to cause her harm. The situation with Mae Jit’s spirit is not as dangerous as Jaruwan (Drarpda), Mew’s aunt who had her eyes on Waruek and was willing to do anything to have him. | ⇢ Horror
One other comment from a user regarding their experience was also quite positive. With that, I would also like to invest my time in this drama at some point. |
 | ||
Release: 2015 | 100 years ago, sisters Yod and Yard were the wives of Phra Wanathep. Yard was a loyal servant to madam Kamlai, his main wife. But Khun Thep asked Yod to help him get her sister and he would reward her. So Yod knocked her out and Wanathep raped her. Later, Yod ends up killing Yard and the two somehow turn into ghosts unable to reincarnate. | ⇢ Horror He was obsessed with sex and thought women were like land, ready to be stabbed with a flag and conquered through force. I don't know how his past life would affect my liking of him throughout the drama, so I am warning you all just in case. |
 | ||
Release: 2021 | A cohabitation comedy about a ghost (Orn) of a high school girl who has been dead for 5 years and an exorcist college boy (Saint) with the ability to see and hear ghosts. What he’s discovered over the years is that he can touch them and fight them off, so when he’s in need of a part-time job and can’t find one that pays well enough, he starts putting ads online as an exorcist for hire. | ⇢ Remake of k-drama Trust me when I say this, the story is way beyond the description. In fact, while I have watched the k-drama version a few years ago... this version was much better and more complex in my opinion. Almost every character was utilised for the plot in some way and not just kept as a sidepiece like in the drama. I also felt this ended much better. |
 | ||
| Release: 2017 Episodes:15 Duration: 1hr 30min MDL Rating: 7.0 My Rating: 9.0 | Pikul (Praew) is a ghost who has spent 100 years seeking revenge against the family of her husband (See) who she believed to have only married her in order to offer her as a sacrifice to his family's goddess. Eventually, her husband and everyone in her lifetime was reborn in the same family, and so she once again began her dance of death.  |
I have just completed this drama, and honestly, it's a great drama, everything went going smoothly and it's was scary. I think I quite like this flavour of horror lakorn. Not everything has to be a mopey FL who is crying over a reincarnated amnesiac ML who feels attracted to her but can't explain how. The FL on the other hand also didn't care about the lack of ML's romantic feelings... which is so cool! Also, look at how scary she could look! I love scary ghost FLs! (side-eyes Klin Kasalong) Overall, it's a great drama. Watch it after doing research as always <3 |

| In the period of King Rama V, Princess Seeked (Tanya), the princess from the vassal state is the most skillful weaver in the royal palace. Although life is full of sadness and injustice, one day she meets Prince Tad (Chai) who falls for her beauty at first sight. However, the love of men in those times is just like dew — abundant in supply for a period of time but suddenly lost when morning arrives. Soon Prince Tad falls for Princess Chay (Natharika) and decides to marry her, leaving a now pregnant Seeked with only a broken promise of marriage. With vengeance in her heart, Princess Seeked completes weaving a golden brocade and places a curse of the fabric with tears full of bitterness. Then she kills herself. Through the brocade, Seeked continues to wander the earth waiting for vengeance upon every birth of the people who ruined her life. | ⇢ High on karma I do accept that there are certain plot holes and parts where things could have been managed totally differently — but I mean I was entertained so I forgot the tiny frustrations. I liked how the ghost from the past life was not a white lotus who was killed and you just feel so sorry for her — truthfully, she was vindictive and vengeful as a person. She believed in fighting for herself and although her life was sad, I liked how she was not pure and selfless. Fyi, this drama is based on a novel written by the same author of "Qi Pao" which is the sequel of this title. |
 | ||
Release: 2015 | Kadesurang (Bella) is a 25-year-old chubby archaeologist. One day she suffers an accident after meeting Karakade's (Bella) ghost and goes back in time to the Ayutthaya era around 300 years ago. She wakes up in Karakade's dead body right after she died. Karakade was a very mean and selfish person. Everyone hated her, especially her betrothed Date (Pope), who liked another girl (Prang) but his dad and Karakade's dad were best friends and they promised that their kids would marry each other. After Kadesurang wakes up in Karakade's body, everyone around her is confused now that she's acting like a completely different person. But her optimistic and playful personality slowly wins over everyone, including Date, who falls in love with the new Karakade. | ⇢ NOT HORROR See now this article isn't about "horror" but ghosts, so you can't really scold me here ok? This is possibly one of the most famous Thai dramas that contain the tag "ghost", if not the most famous. I will not lie, the absolute first time I watched the drama, I was very freaked out with the entire first 50 or so minutes. Right now it doesn't seem scary at all, but at that moment I was counting minutes until it would be over and Karakade could switch into Kadesurang's body. |
 | ||
Release: 2018 | Jiew (Noona) is a modest girl who works at a restaurant washing dishes and is in love with Artit (Pae), the chef. She huddles in a cramped little room doesn't sleep at night, and is always late for work. But she has a big secret: she sees ghosts. And Khaopun (Gypsy), a virgin ghost who doesn't understand why her soul can't go to heaven, doesn't leave Jiew alone. Khaopun is sure that only losing her virginity will help her to ascend to heaven, and therefore she uses Jiew's body to seduce Artit and achieve what she wants. | ⇢ Not exactly strict horror It's a very filler sort of drama that you can watch when you're just bored one day, but honestly don't expect a lot from the actor playing the main lead because personally, he's not all that great with his acting. Otherwise, you'll enjoy yourself. |
 | ||
Release: 2014 | Hormnam (Bow) is a college student who is also interning at a Lakorn company. One of their current projects is to be set at a deceased famous actress, Putkanlaya's (Nusba), home and it requires her to go and observe the location of the set nicely. Upon her arrival to the house, however, she comes face to face with the spirit of Putkanlaya who says that she did not commit suicide and was murdered instead. | ⇢ Not horror There were so many instances the ghost could just tell her husband and son that she was there and was not murdered etc, but they dragged it out as much as they could. The female is also always crying about one thing or another. She also dressed and acted like a child in my opinion. Finally, there isn't any kissing or skin-ship maybe except those sniff-kisses on the cheek in the last episode. |
 | ||
| Every school has a past that people want to be concealed. There are things that happened that people don't want to talk about. There are students whom people want to forget. And there are secrets waiting for the day that they're revealed  Release: 2014 Episodes:13 Duration: 45min MDL Rating: 7.4 | From what I have gathered, each episode has different stories. And what this means is that while you may love certain episodes, you may dislike the others. Additionally, the episode called "The Blue Hour" is extremely lackluster and is just a chopped-up version of the full-length movie with the same title (The Blue Hour). So you might as well invest your time on the actual movie than a botched episode version of it. |
 | ||
Release: 2015 | Son (Ball) is a young detective that was born with a gift to see spirits. He often uses his gift to solve cases. One day, Son uses his gift in the middle of the market and is sent to see a psychiatrist. The moment he meets Rung (Namwhan), they immediately dislike one another. Son is able to pass all mental evaluations, but because of her own prejudice, Rung reports that he is not ready for a mental evaluation. | ⇢ Not horror ⇢ Fantasy + Comedy + Romance
Honestly, when I read the plot I really didn't like the ethical aspect of her being his therapist and them developing a romantic relationship in the drama, and also the fact that she falsified his psychological analysis report... but I guess this is fiction so~ enjoy! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ |
 | ||
Release: 2019 | Pakom (Nike) dreams of a mysterious woman named Ananyatha (Jakjaan). He is enchanted by her and becomes obsessed. While his wife, Jerdjumrut (Kratip) tries to help him. His father, Pak (Trim) who in the present day is a wealthy businessman is being chased by his guilty sins from the past.  | ⇢ ... Okay I would like to strongly suggest that kids (under 18) do not watch this one. There are real kisses and love scenes happening in this drama. At one point I even saw bed movements of the universally used "love dance" in the trailer. This drama has obvious infidelity. There is also black magic and past lives where of course level 100 angst occurred. All in all, if you're into the "mature" tag as well as do not mind the "infidelity" tag. This one is for you! PS. This drama has the cutest ghost lmao, and I have no idea how it ends. |
 | ||
Release: 2014 | Namrin (Bella), a bratty and hi-so girl is about to marry her fiancé, Popetorn (Nut), whom she grew up with because her mother, Thara (Sinjai) raised him since he was a little boy after his father had passed away. He, however, is cheating on her with Nubdao (Pear) However, after trying on her wedding dress, Namrin is challenged to a road race that escalates to road rage, resulting in the death of both drivers. Yeeo (Mark) is a police officer that happened to be bicycling. He passes by the scene and hears the call on his police radio. He gets to the scene and watches paramedics pull out Namrin's road rival, whose car had plunged into the nearby lake. | ⇢ Not horror ⇢ Romance + Suspense ⇢ Less skin-ship ⇢ No "kisses" ⇢ Happy ending
I watched this drama around the first years of my Thai lakorn viewing venture. I didn't know the actors or actresses all that well, but I remember thinking it was a sweet drama for the most part. I think it was because before this I had watched some solid slap-kiss. This drama is quite well received by whoever has watched it. While it does have an MDL rating of 7.8, you must remember that these are Thai lakorns and they don't get the hype or inflated ratings that dramas from other countries receive. For Thai lakorns, don't focus on the MDL ratings. Trust me. A 7.8, is like an 8.5 to 9. — End of rant. |

Release: 2012 | It’s a story about a servant girl who is in love and obsesses about Khun Luang. She is the servant girl of CheunKlin (Rita) who is the daughter of a high-ranked soldier and Paeng (Noon) believes that she is his daughter too since CheunKlin's father slept with her servant mother as well. Khun Luang (Ohm) meets CheunKlin and falls in love instantly then they are married etc. Paeng gets angry and thinks CheunKlin tries to take everything from her so she uses black magic to get Khun Luang to fall in love with her and it works. |
This is nothing to be ashamed of, I belong in that group sometimes as well! If you're an individual that belongs to that group or is in such a mood, welcome! This drama is a solid source of frustration. Even your love for Pope might not save you because a commenter claimed that he's a player!

Release: 2016 | Pairin (Pat) works as a nurse in the hospital and has the ability to communicate with the dead. She strives to keep this a secret so that she can pretend to be normal like everyone else. But in reality, everyone seems to know about this and tries to avoid her. Only a nurse named New (Mild) understands her and always accompanies her. Pairin not only has to look after her daily tasks in the hospital but also stops the playful spirit Chaba (Belle).  | ⇢ Short and cute Beyond that, I don't exactly have anything to say about this show. Maybe I'd like to share my opinion on the actor playing Dr. M... I don't like his acting, or maybe it's his facial expression.. he always fails to convince me of whatever he is doing, and I don't think he has chemistry with actresses, or at least the ones I have seen him with. That aside, a viewer of this drama actually called him Dr. Jerk M so I don't think his character is designed to be loveable. In conclusion, the synopsis says the plot is cute, so WATCH IT FOR TOR! |

 Shralalalala~ Release: 2016 | A rejected woman comes back as a ghost to threaten the reincarnation of her past love and his new love.
The above summary is wonderfully informative so Soju here is at your service once again with her potentially inaccurate, mostly reliable interpretation of the plot. Raiwan (Tik) was a police officer when he was alive and was married to Si Nuan (Joy) who he really took for granted. Eventually, he probably even cheated on her with another woman (maybe the FL) and something happened that led to the wife's death. This caused the now vengeful Si Nuan to remain in the house an evil ghost. Raiwan, upon his death, is also stuck in the house as the house spirit (They have these in Thailand, they protect the property and people) Then in the future, Prae Khao (Rita) who is a married/divorced woman with a child (maybe even two) comes to live in that house. Some sort of love occurs between the two ... and well... the wife is there as well so we can't expect springtime eh? | ⇢ Infidelity The novel is actually roughly translated to "The Host of the House" and just look at this beautiful cover.
Watch if you're in the "Buang" group. We need crazy sometimes as well. Definitely. |

Release: 2019 | Prat (Win) is a perfect young man who has been planning to propose to Ae (Kana), but before he could do it, he dies in an accident. In heaven, he comes to know that he was brought there by mistake and can go back to earth only in the body of Kob (Mek), a young gay man who committed suicide. He also gets the power to see spirits who he needs to help. While Prat needs to help the spirits to be able to stay in Kob's body, he also develops a love-hate relationship with Bang-On. | ⇢ Unimpressive actress as FL At first, I was really put off when I saw this had like 30 episodes. Then I did some maths and realized this is basically 15 normal episodes (1.55hrs to 2 hrs) just cut into half so we have 30. Then I was really side-eyeing another small thing, the FL's name. For the love of my sanity, I really hope it is pronounced "Baang-On" not "Beng-On". |

Release: 2010 | Tichakorn (Margie) is a Romance novel writer with the pen name "Humming Bird" and she's also the daughter of the sorcerer. She decides to go to research for her new novel in the vineyard. She has never thought that her fate will be changed when meets Wayupak (Boy). Wayupak is a playboy and the owner of Sailom vineyard though they have a terrible first meeting. Tichakorn has a sixth sense and she sees that Wayupak has a female spirit who keeps following him everywhere, so she tries to tell him, but he doesn't believe her. In Wayupak's thought, Tichakorn is nonsense and meddlesome girl. But he doesn't know since she has been in his heart and he can't let her go. | ⇢ Comedy ⇢ Black magic ⇢ Happy ending I think this drama has one of the most iconic ghosts of all time. Just look at how the lady is sitting on that truck in broad daylight! Wow! Enchanting! (✧ω✧) They also attempted to make her look scary by applying that batman across eye paint and giving her frizzy hair that resembles mine during Summer. By now you all probably know how much I appreciate scary female ghosts. So for the love of the iconic ghost and the amazing plot! Watch this!

Release: 2018 Episodes:14 Duration: 1hr 50min MDL Rating: 7.7 My Rating: PTW! | Mark (Bomb), the gay CEO of an entertainment company, is killed and is given 100 days as a ghost to settle his unfinished business. Cin (Preem) is a kind shy woman who lives a harsh life with her brother Sun (Off) and cruel stepmother and stepsister. Mark discovers he can possess Cin, and together they set out to help Mark's family and business, and solve the mystery of his death — with help from his brother Mate (Masu). Along the way, Mark helps Cin improve her own life and find love.
| ⇢ Highly reviewed
While some viewers have mentioned that Bomb's acting has not changed at all, another very kind viewer replied to my question and said that it had — so I, like the nut that I am, will lay my trust in this viewer and definitely watch this drama! From the reviews and comments, it seems to be a very fun-loving lakorn and would be fit for folks who don't like the usual taste of lakorns but something easy to digest and funny. |

| Pat (Plan) just moved into a new rental house with his mother. There, he meets Pope (Nut), an amnesiac ghost, and has to help Pope solve the mystery of his death within forty-nine days of Pope's death. Will they succeed? Release: 2022 | ⇢ Face-slapping of FL ⇢ Scary ghost ⇢ Romance + Suspense ⇢ Trash side women  |

| A love story between the cold God of Death (August) and a beautiful ghost (Eye) who refuses to die. Tualek's a wandering spirit. Release: 2022 Episodes:24 Duration: 47 min MDL Rating: ONG: 8.0 My Rating: PTW | Alright so aside from the zero dollars that went into paying the graphic designing team for this drama's poster, folks are not liking the FL's personality and are calling her toxic, self-absorbed, and manipulative. Crowd opinion is that the ML (Grim reaper) is super adorable, and the drama is unnecessarily long. Some people also do not like the side characters (one of which the SML is the FL's ex). Overall, eh... let's see. |

| Nuannuerkaew Jaz (Baifern) has never thought of going to India, but now she has to fly to India for her sister Nilapat (Richy), who is going to get married to Chaithat (Kong), the prince of Muntra Putra the small city in India. Everything was going to be fine until Queen Sasiprapai (Mam) doesn't accept Nilapat as her daughter-in-law. She sets up Savitree (Lily) for Chaithat, a troublemaker who will ruin Nilapat and Chaithat's wedding ceremony. Everything would turn out great if she didn't see Giris (Sean), Chaithat's brother, with whom she fell in love at first sight. | Release: 2022 Episodes:10 Duration: 1hr 30 mins MDL Rating: 7.7 My Rating: PTW First of all, the leads are Sean and Baifern. Come on! Secondly, Dr. Pongsakorn wrote the novel this was adapted from and he's mostly a hit than a miss. Thirdly, this is not being subbed yet, but it's an ONE31 production and they have been subbing their projects lately so let's pray! Finally, if you are desi like me, let's walk into this...carefully. Not everything will be accurately represented — they will mispronounce names, wear very unique saris ( ‾́ ◡ ‾́ ) — let's just hope for the best! |

Release: 2016 | In 1986, in a house for the newlyweds, a tragedy occurred on the day of the wedding. The bride (Tong) committed suicide by jumping out of a window directly into a pond. After 30 years, Roth (Sandy) from the family of the deceased bride, arranged as a secretary to Ram, the heir to the groom's (Fluke) family. The girl sets a goal to find out what really happened on the wedding day.  | ⇢ Face-slapping of FL
The ghost is very caring and not malicious towards the FL, and when is that not a great thing? In addition to that, the special effects & makeup team has tried all sorts of ways to make the ghost character look scary, chef's kiss! |

| The story is about a beautiful young woman named Nak (Baitoey), who lived on the banks of the Phra Khanong Canal, and her undying love for her husband, Mak (Sun). With Nak being pregnant, Mak is conscripted and sent to war, where he is seriously wounded. While he is being nursed back to health, 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, but he doesn't know they're ghosts. Release: 2016 |
In addition to that, there are many other adaptations to this Thai tale. You can probably find it all if you go to the page of the earliest adaptation. Both of that aside, I can not guarantee how each adaptation ends. This could be something that can alter adaptation by adaptation so if you're adventurous, the world isn't too cold!

Release: 2014 | Roy Dao (Taew) lived in England and was raised by adoptive parents after her biological mother passed away when she was a baby. She grow up into a young beautiful lady and came back to Thailand to inherit her dead father's will, but She starts to hear a mystery noise coming from Wiang Roy Dao, the place where Wiang Kaew (Donut) — her biological mother— used to live. Roy Dao started to go investigate the voice that she heard and she saw the spirit of Wiang Kaew coming to hunt everyone in the Badintorn's House. |
Not a lot is said about this drama which I mean I attribute to the lack of subbing since Taew, Donut, and Smart are quite famous in Thai lakorn world. Maybe one day some subber who enjoys subbing old lakorns will pick this up? From the one reviewer and the trailer, I guess this is not something that will make you pee your pants, but it does seem interesting enough to invest time in. That, and I also find it quite assuring that the ghost in question is the mother of the FL, which I mean at least a dead spirit won't be after the FL, right? |

| Dr. Akkanee (Weir) and his crew travel to a village that is old-fashioned and superstitious to study the paranormal and that prove that it is not true. In the village, he meets and falls for a girl named Buapun (Jooy).He is curious about her since he often dreams about her before coming to the village. The village is close to the Mekong River, which the villagers believe houses spirits and deities. This is true as a spirit of a vengeful princess (Nok) resides underneath the river waiting for her betrothal, which is the reincarnated Dr. Akkanee. Release: 2008 |
Let's just pray that the new adaptation gets picked up by a subbing team! That would be awesome! On a side note though, I can't help but wonder how this drama that doesn't even have subs has a higher rating than those with subs. An 8.3 for lakorns is like 9.5 + |

Release: 2015 | In the ancient kingdom Muangnai located in Northern Thailand, there is a beautiful love story between Jao Rak Fah (Nimtaisuk) and Jao Ying La Ong Kam (Tubtim). But love soon turns to tragedy as Jao Rak Fah has to engage with PinMeung (Kratip). Enraged and heartbroken, La Ong Kam starts to worship Pee Fah (a malevolent female ghost that seeks intestines as food). Eventually, Jao Rak Fah dies because of war and PinMeung is killed by La Ong Kam while being possessed by Pee Fah. Since that La Ong Kam begins to hatch a strong belief that worshipping Pee Fah will let her have a great life. La Ong Kam flees to Bangkok and more drama continues. She married Khun Chat and they have a daughter named Apsorn. |
Eventually, La Ong Kam is found out by her new husband's family and her daughter is hidden away while she is killed or something. 40 years later, her daughter has a daughter that looks exactly like her, everyone else from the first generation in question is also reincarnated... and here we go again! — Honestly, if you want to see a super dramatic melodrama style lakorn that reminds you of those old 2005 or 2008 style historical dramas + a female lead monster who licks her lips all the time, this is the one for you. The FL in all her glory — |

| The story starts in the small Province of Chiang Mai where Koom Sai Karm is located. Euarngjun (Lanlalin) is a beautiful dancer with many men who desired her. She fell in love with the son of a millionaire, which leads to a chain of events and misunderstandings that resulted in her death. She was killed by being caged in a casket that fell in a lake. Nobody was able to find her. But her spiteful spirit is inside the casket, waiting to seek vengeance. Many years later, there are rumors and tales about Koom Saai Karm and how there are ghosts. Sai Mai (Maprang) just finished school wants to start a homestay business at Koom Saai Karm, an old home which everyone in her family forbids her from going there. But Sai Mai insists and invited her friend Timsarm (Preem) to go with her. |
How? How do I feel more desire to marry a supposed vengeful ghost than being scared and running away from her? See now, this girl could very well be the long-lost sister of Klin Kasalong cause they both lost the memo here. While I watched the trailer, even though my mind was well aware that this was marketed as a horror movie. I just felt like this drama would very run on cable TV at like 11 in the morning. I think for those that want to watch a ghost drama that's just full of spicy plot angles and has fewer scary ghosts, you would like this one! |

Release: 2021 Episodes:17 Duration: 1hr 20min MDL Rating: 8.3 | Suwaparp buys her daughter, Burana, a new doll. However, soon after this, she begins to notice Buarana spending a lot of time with this doll in particular. Something is very weird about this doll, as it looks like a human. Its skin is soft, warm to touch, and it even winks. All that aside, Suwaparp can almost feel something off about the doll. Terrified after instances of the doll speaking and moving without being touched, Suwaparp decides to throw it away. But the doll does not want to leave... and so it comes back. Again and again and again. "I need to go back to my house..." |
Now, I do want to gently remind everyone that this may cause an irrational detachment and mistrust towards all your stuffed toys. For the next few days, you may feel like you have been raising demons inside cute toy vessels, and all those cute fluffy teddy bears will also begin to magically look at you creepily* Don't worry when that happens, go on & watch something super fluffy and entertaining, like Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper. \(★ω★)/ And if that doesn't work... watch some People's Court. That will definitely work. |

Release: 2016 Episodes:14 Duration: 1hr 50min MDL Rating: 7.1 | A story about resentment of Riewthong (Jooy), daughter of the owner of a puppet performing group, against H.S.H. Princess Rumpa Tinnachart (Janie), daughter of the owner of Tinnachart Palace. It all began when H.S.H Prince Direk Supamas (Toe), engaged to Rumpa since childhood, fell in love with Riewthong. He ordered a custom-made golden bangle, 'Gum Lai Mat', inscribed with the name of Riewthong as his gift of love. He never thought that the golden bangle would bind their fates and bring them to meet each other again in the next life. | ⇢ High on karma For whatever reason the union was formed, it is there now and one now has responsibilities and obligations towards your significant other. Falling in love with someone else is infidelity, sir. ... I think I've been watching too many Divorce Court episodes lately. |

Release: 2014 Episodes:15 Duration: 1hr 10min MDL Rating: 7.8 | Nammon's (Braifern) parents passed away in an accident. She has a younger brother she has to look after on top of going to school and such. Pee (Porsche) is a wandering soul who needs help. He's not dead, but his body is in a coma somewhere. He comes to ask Nammon for help so that he can return to his body. However, he doesn't really remember or know what happened to him, but Nammon is the only one who can see him. They eventually fall in love and overcome obstacles together. |
That aside, this feels like an alternate universe to "Let's Fight Ghost". I don't think it's supposed to be too dramatic, more so focused on comedy and targeted towards the youth so for the most part, it won't be THAT full of angst. Hopefully. This also looks like a no-brainer HE. |

| Prat (Boat), is a good-looking bank employee who endeavours to do simple jobs, never acts out of the way, and is determined to save money, and one day marry his long-time — but much richer — girlfriend, Chachri (Larissa). However, Chachri's family are less than pleased with him, when he proposes to Chachri, her family shows open disgust towards him being poor One day, Pratt ended up slipping and hitting his head against a rocky platform. This causes him to meet a rich noble man's ghost (Kiak), who changes his life forever.
|
This drama's primary genre is comedy, so expect a lot of crack-headedness. A reviewer mentioned, and it does seem quite obvious, that the playboy ghost is an absolute trouble maker and ruins most things in the ML's life before somehow helping fix it. Hopefully. I would honestly watch it someday if I want to mindlessly be entertained with something.

Or if you're one of those that want to watch happier things before if is already so messed up (I feel you), scroll up and find Bpooppaesanivas, Let's Fight Ghost, or The Magical Hour he he he ! |

Most of you also like Donut, don't you? |

how scary does the FL look! Release: 2009 | A tragic love story unfolds when Malaai (Pinky) agrees to marry the owner of Rom Ngiew House, Luang Wisarn (Aun), unaware that he is gay. A lovely viewer gave a more thorough summary of the drama, so I'll brief you all here thanks to them. The ML is gay, he has also been raising a servant called Dech (Golf). In order to show his gratitude towards the ML who has fed, raised, and sheltered him since childhood, Dech gets into a sexual relationship with him despite not actually loving him. The story is set in the olden times when homosexuality was not accepted, the ML marries a woman. But of course, he can't form sexual relations with her... so he asks Dech. |
The amount of stupidity this entire situation had. Like hello! You don't send your lover* to have sexual relations with your sad and depraved wife! They will obviously fall in love and leave you behind! Lord knows what happens and how they die but the ML and the wife end up dead and become ghosts. Then the ghost ML kills the servant thinking he will be with him but HA HA the Dech only becomes a spirit and he and the wife pass on together! They even reincarnate and meet each other, but the ML is still stuck as a ghost! I think this is peak makjang entertainment here. Peak! |
