Synopsis
Set in a holy temple in Thailand, Pee Nak 3 tells the story of four friends named Fist, Balloon, Toh Min Jun, and Pampam Oppa, who return to the temple where they were ordained as monks. However, their reunion is hindered by the presence of a ghost named Pee Nak, who threatens to take the life of anyone who has taken what belongs to her. Initially baffled by this, they soon discover that Pee Nak’s anger stems from a golden ankle bracelet belonging to Aod.
Aod, who is still a candidate to become a monk, must pass a test that involves confronting the curse of the holy temple dragon. His friends accompany him to explore the story behind the cursed bracelet, which is believed to have originated from the holy temple that was guarded by a dragon.
