Revisited BE2559 ~ Wat Palelai ~ The Mural Painting & Khun Chang House (Part 2/2).

Many of us aware the story of Khun Chang & Khun Paen, is a long Thai epic poem which originated from a legend of Thai folklore and is one of the most notable works in Thai literature. The work's entire length is over 20,000 couplets. Khun Chang and Khun Paen are the leading male characters, where "Khun" was a junior feudal title given for male commoners. The story recounts the adventurous and amorous struggles of the three main protagonists. Much of their relationship can be described as a love triangle. Khun Paen (dashing but poor) and Khun Chang (rich but ugly) compete for the lovely Wanthong from childhood for over fifty years. Their stories transpire amid the larger backdrop of national events, including two wars, several abductions, a suspected revolt, an idyllic sojourn in the forest, two court cases, trial by ordeal, jail, and treachery. Ultimately the King of Ayutthaya condemns Wanthong to death for failing to choose between the two men.

Wat Palelai ~ Baan Khun Chang (House Of Khun Chang) SuphanBuri - Thailand.

On afternoon with my driver and guide to SuphanBuri, I was excited to visit a replica of Khun Chang’s house. This traditional style house can be seen in the grounds of Wat Palelai. The house is free to visit and you can wander around the rooms inside.

 Photos taken at front side of the Khun Chang's House.

 The spectacular view of Thailand style of Khun Chang's House.

 The Khun Chang's Shrine was venerated just at entrance of second floor of Khun Chang's House.

 The main Altar inside the Khun Chang's House.

Khun Paen (Phlai Kaeo), Khun Chang, and Nang Wanthong are childhood friends in SuphanBuri province. Khun Paen grows up to be handsome, clever, brave and a great fighter, but he is poor because the King executed his father property. He ordained as a novice monk so that he could be educated at the local temple. He excels in martial arts and develops a love of magic. Khun Chang is his opposite, bald, ugly and lazy but very rich and well-connected at Ayutthaya court. Later they became of great enemy.

 The rooms with paintings and display cabinets represent of Thai Literature.
