Overview

The Author “Sampaothong” has recently received the Best Book Award for his novel “Botan Gleep Sudtai”. However, no one knows who Sampaothong is. He is really Ah-Joo, the 3rd son of Ah-Cheng and Meiling, a Chinese couple who runs a food shop in Thailand. His oldest brother Ah-Jo works at an electric appliances and the 2nd brother works at a bank. Ah-Joo’s father has never cared about him as he thinks Ah-Joo is a jinx on his family. However, his father likes reading “Sampaothong”’s novel although it’s written by his son, so Ah-Joo tries to communicate with his father through the book and decides to write a story about a family with three daughters. The Ah-Chang family has three daughters; Dala, Panan and Tanyong. To do research for his book, Ah-Joo applies for a labour job at the family’s Chinese Opera House ‘Chang-Sin’. Tanyong, the youngest, thinks Ah-Joo is a spy from another opera house so tries to drive him away by teasing him and trying to find faults.
