The legend says that “Two sisters drowned in the Mekong River with a treasure chest while escaping Vientiane during the Thai looting in 1828. They become ghosts protecting the treasure chest. They can metamorphose themselves into giant mythical snakes (พยานาค). The shrine is located in a Thai Buddhist temple in Sri Chiang Mai. A convoy led by two noble Laotian ladies is transporting a treasure. They are attacked by Thai robbers. Seeing the beautiful ladies, the robbers wish to abuse them. A young Thai man interposes, but he is outnumbered. They have to flee. Both ladies fall in the river. The young man is only able to rescue one lady. The other lady drowns. The treasure has fallen in the Mekong river also. Later on, a shrine is built on the river bank as an homage to the drowned lady. A local young girl, named Lamyai, refuses to give respect to the shrine. At night time, the female guardian spirit kidnaps Lamyai. Snake prints are seen. Lamyai is the district officer’s (Paen Pleumsachai) daughter. The district officer asks help from witchdoctor (หมอ) Chook (Bin Banleurit). Chook promises to help to recover his daughter. He dives in the river to find Lamyai. Chook fights and defeats a big snake (งูเจ้าแม่). Lamyai doesn't wake up, but finally the snake spirit accepts to release Lamyai’s spirit to ease tensions in the village. The snake spirit changes its appearance to lie to old villagers to get unction (ยาทำแผล) to cure the injury caused by Chook at its neck. If the snake spirit gets cured, it will be danger (อาละวาด) for villagers again. Chook makes a special ceremony (พิธี) to contain the snake spirit with sacred thread put around the shrine. The snake spirit (พญานาค) hires two black magic sorcerers to fight against Chook. Another witch doctor warns Chook (ของดีในตัว) that the snake spirit will try to hurt him again (ปล้ำ). Chook has to face a Cambodian black magic sorcerer looking for trouble. The Cambodian black magic sorcerer is defeated and asks help from his master Suchao Pongwilai. Chook thinks to neutralize the snake spirit by taking the treasure. Without money, the snake spirit cannot corrupt people to hurt Chook. Chook dives in the river and gets the treasure back. Suchao Pongwilai is pushed by the snake spirit to defeat Chook. Knowing that the snake spirit has no more treasure, Suchao decides to play his own game to defeat both Chook and the snake spirit. Suchao makes Chook and his friends fall asleep in order to get the treasure. He threatens to torture Chook’s friends in order to get the protective amulet (ของดี) being in Chook’s body. He even destroys the ghost shrine (ไม่มีที่พักอัศาย) to hurt the snake spirit. Finally understanding that Chook uses white magic and not black magic like the cheating sorcerer Suchao, the snake spirit (เจ้าแม่สองนาง) releases him and his friends. About to be defeated by sorcerer Suchao in a one to one witchdoctor fighting, the snake spirit gives a hand in order to defeat Suchao. The snake spirit forgives Chook for taking initially the treasure chest and the ghost shrine is rebuilt. Do good deeds, get rewards. Do bad deeds, get death.
