The plot follows Signha, who receives a call from an old high school friend inviting him to a reunion. As they reconnect, memories from their school days flood back, and Signha begins to reminisce about his first and only love, Mituna, a new student who had transferred to their school.

For fans of Thai cinema, 'Pee Mak Phrakanong' is a very familiar title. The film is based on the Thai folk legend of the ghost Mae Nak Phra Khanong, but with added humorous and touching elements that captivate the audience. One of the most memorable lines is from the 'silly' Pee Mak: 'I may be foolish, but not so foolish that I don't know my wife is a ghost. I'm afraid of ghosts, but losing you is what I fear most.' 'Pee Mak Phrakanong' is a funny, heartwarming, and slightly creepy story about the life of Pee Mak, Nak, and Mak's four friends after they return from the battlefield. While everyone knows Nak is dead, Mak remains blissfully unaware, continuing to live happily with his ghostly wife. Meanwhile, Mak’s friends try every possible way to reveal the truth to him, leading to a series of hilarious situations. In the end, Nao admits her actions were all in an attempt to be with her husband, while Mak confesses he had known all along that Nak was a ghost, but still chose to stay by her side. The two live happily ever after. The film grossed 1 billion Baht (over 33 million USD), making it the highest-grossing Thai film at the time.
