According to Thai folklore how did Tid Mak’s wife die?

There is a story about a beautiful young woman named Mae Nak (literally "Miss Nak"), who lived by the Phra Khanong canal in Bangkok, and her husband, Mak. With Nak pregnant, Mak is called off to war (in some versions of the story the war is against the Shan tribe, while others are not specific), and is severely injured. While he is being nursed in central Bangkok, both Nak and the child she is carrying die during childbirth. When Mak eventually returns home, however, he is cast under a spell and finds his loving wife and his new child waiting for him and nothing wrong. Neighbours, who try to tell Mak of the death of his wife and to warn him that he is living with her ghost, meet with grisly ends. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mae_Nak http://www.thaifolk.com/doc/nangnak_e.htm http://www.bangkoktourist.com/backup/unseen_historical_love_legend_of_mae_nak.php Aug 29 09, 7:52 PM
