According to the villagers around the temple, a young woman would come to pray for her to pass the teacher’s exam and then come to show them a Thai dance.
Despite passing the teacher’s exam, the young woman broke her word and did not attend the temple to dance Thai.
The spirit of the dancer went to claim what she had said earlier. The woman encountered the spirit of a woman in a Thai costume, standing and dancing in her dream with a scary expression.
She had that dream many times, until finally she had to go perform Thai dance at Wat Luang Pho Sothon.
Old school’s Phi Nang Rum (Thai Ghost Dancer).
An incident involving a Thai dance club member who died during practice in the school auditorium is recounted in a school.
One night, the night teacher heard Thai music playing in the auditorium, so she went to see if anything unusual happened.
She saw a Thai dance costume placed in the center of the stage of the auditorium and saw no one in the area.
Only the Thai dance costume, her, and silence were present. In a panic, she fled the auditorium right away.
Following that day’s incident, the school threw a ceremony to send the ghosts of the students who perished in the accident on their way to eternal rest.

I saw a lot of attractive young ladies standing and performing Thai dances in the temple, all dressed in traditional Thai attire.
When he got back to the hotel, he immediately showed his roommate the video clip, but nothing was there.
He let out a loud cry of shock, “How is this possible? I noticed a lot of women standing here doing Thai dance.
According to the guide, he discovered Phi Nang Rum, “a dancer who is a spirit, a dancer who does not exist in this world.”
