Story :

Some say that Jan Dara's life was blighted from birth - from the moment his mother Dara died while giving birth to him. Certainly Dara's husband Khun Luang ('Great Master') hated the boy from that moment. That was why he named him Jan -- short for Janrai ("accursed"). And that was why Khun Luang viewed the boy with such hatred and treated him so cruelty, beating him and locking him in a 'ghost room' for daring to grieve for his mother.


But Khun Luang's hatred for the boy had nothing to do with his licentious behaviour around the Visanan compound in which they both lived. Jan Dara's earliest memory was of seeing Khun Luang have sex with a maid, right in front of a portrait of his sexual desires, and didn't care who in the household knew about it. When Dara's old friend Waad arrived from Pijit to be a surrogate mother to the boy, Khun Luang lost no time in adding her to his list of conquests. And when Aunt Waad bore Khun Luang a daughter, Kaew, the doting patriarch taught the child to hate Jan Dara as much as he did himself. In other words, Jan Dara grew up surrounded by immoral and licentious acts and perhaps blurred them in his mind with both the image of his beloved mother and the cruelty of his hated father.

And when he was summonded back three years later, Jan Dara found himself in a position to take revenge on Khun Luang. Kaew was pregnant (no-one ever said by whom) and need a husband. Khun Luang had chosen Jan Dara, the only other male of Visanan lineage, for the role. Jan Dara agreed to marry the girl, but demanded a high price for his compliance : ownership of the Visanan compound. Astonishingly, Khun Luang agreed to sign over the title deed. Now master of his own house, Jan Dara began taking pleasure in toying with the affections - and the bodies - of the various women around him, just as Khun Luang used to. Was the young man exacting a revenge on Khun Luang at last? Or was he rather living out the curse placed on his head when he was born?
