Plae Kao

Plae Kao (Thai: แผลเก่า, RTGS: Phlae Kao; literally, 'old wound'), also known as The Scar, is a 1977 Thai romantic drama film directed by Cherd Songsri and starring Sorapong Chatree and Nantana Ngaograjang as two peasants in rural Thailand in a tragic, romantic relationship.This produced a great deal of negative sentiment towards the picture, because some people believe that this is not a topic to be shown on film.Kwan comes to bid his last respects, and Riam agrees to meet him the next day at noon, on the spirit island.The next day, Kwan sets fire to Somchai's boat, to prevent Riam from leaving without meeting him.Riam then jumps in after Kwan, and grabs the knife from his hands and stabs herself, dying with her true love in the river.
