Summary
Three angels avatared to be the children of a king who ruled a big empire. The king has two queens but with the different personalities. The evil queen is named Ta Sa-nee. The good queen is Manee-nate (Thai: มณีเนตร). Manee-nate gave birth to a boy after having six years of pregnancy. Unfortunately, the child was born with a large body as six-year-old kid and the most terrible is that he has two long fangs. (Phra Rahoo, Thai:พระราหู) The king thinks his wife had an affair with an ogre when Ta Sa-nee confessed that she saw Manee-nate hugging and kissing the statue of an ogre. The king abandoned Manee-nate and Phra Rahoo in the forest. Manee-nate and Phra Rahoo were parted for some times. However, the mother and son met again by the hermit's recusement and the mother found out that her son turned into a different person, a beautiful girl called Chinda Mekhala (Thai: จินดาเมขลา) when winter comes and the girl turned in to a handsome boy, called Phra Pirun (Thai: พระพิรุณ) when the rainy season comes, and when summer comes, Phra Rahoo will appear again. The mother and children were protected by two creatures, Monkey-faced human and a stone giant. Despite their happiness, they still faced several dangerous creatures that all became their enemies.
Meanwhile, Manee-nate returned to the empire and explained everything about the children's power to the king. The king banished Ta Sa-nee and her family from their kingdom after realizing that she had lied to him. During the journey Ta Sa-nee met a magical buffalo-man, CoTun, that fell in love with her and dragged her home with him. Years later, they have a son, Sum See, together. Ta Sa-nee wanted Sum See to avenge her and make CoTun train him. When she complained about their home in the cave, CoTun transformed their cave into a castle to please her and named her his queen. He conjured them servants and soldiers. He sent men out to search for her father and old servants and brought him to live with them. Ta Sa-nee was embarrassed by her husband's true nature and told him to not reveal what he really was.
As the children grew up, they turns into the handsome and beautiful men and woman. Feeling restless, Pirun leaves the kingdom to travel with his demon companion, Yunk. He met a tree nymph/spirit, Latana, and fell in love with her. They spend some nights in her tree home and he told her about his condition. When Pirun transformed into Chinda Mekhala, due to the change in season, Latana begged her to stay with her so she could be with Pirun. Chinda Mekhala explained to her that she couldn't because there are things that she must do. Latana refuse to listen and used her magic to stop her from leaving, but nothing works as Chinda Mekhala was stronger than her. Feeling sorry for the poor nymph, Chinda Mekhala explains to her once again that she must let them go and wait until its Pirun's season to come out.
In Chinda Mekhala's journey, she ran into two men, who are actually the king of gods and his subject posing as humans. She saves them from bandits and they decide to travel with her for safety.
