Oh...!

You must be a traveller.

I have a tale you may wish to hear if you're interested in listening.

Ayothaya has a long history. Perhaps it looks calm and peaceful now, but in the past our village was terrorized by a terrible creature.

This beast is known to us as

the Sa-mhing Tiger, which used

to dwell deep in the ancient ruins.

The Sa-mhing Tiger is addicted

to the taste of human flesh. It has been known to transform into the shape of a person it has eaten in order to lure out his family and friends.

The local people are still afraid that the creature might transform into someone they know, and sneak into their homes to eat them.

However, there is one way you can identify the Sa-mhing Tiger from a human being. Since it's a tiger, it cannot do some of the things

humans are taught to do,

such as light a match.

So, if by any chance you see

a friend acting strangely all

of a sudden, ask him to strike

a match. Make sure he is not

the Sa-mhing Tiger.

However...

I'm not sure if this actually works or not. I guess the best thing to do is just run for your life if you even suspect someone of being

Do you believe

in the existance

of man-eating tigers?

Umm...

Oh well. My late grandfather told me about the Sa-mhing Tiger when

I was a little kid. Of course,

I haven't seen it.

The closest thing I've seen to the Sa-mhing Tiger was a golden cat with a bell. Somehow, I don't think it ate men.

Run for your life if you ever encounter the Sa-mhing Tiger!

It'll eat you alive!

If you're interested in finding

out more about the story, I can introduce you to someone who

knows that creature more than

anyone else.

Why don't you talk to Boonthom? He's a pretty strange person, but there's something about him...

...

......

Ah well, you'll see what I'm talking about. I hope he'll help you learn more about that evil creature.

You do now?

Then be careful!

How are you?

If you're interested

in the Sa-mhing Tiger,

please go talk to Boonthom.

But beware!

The Sa-mhing Tiger might be

closer to you than you expect!
