I know for a fact the people of Bangkok, over the years, have made a shrine for Mae Nak. In the Wat Mahabut, is where the shrine lays. People give her such great offerings it isn't funny. I've read that political tensions have been rising in Thailand for years now it has said, "They argued that the Mae Nak legend was mere folklore and had nothing to do with the district's history."
Could it be true?
