Thanalai Chomon (Session 03)

As Chiang Rai's Kad Luang market grows so quiet that even stray cats hesitate to pass through, a bizarre incident unfolds. One day, a veteran Thua Nao (fermented soybean) vendor—a long-time fixture of the market—suddenly collapses to the ground. The event is witnessed by a flamboyant police duo, a blind busker, and a group of foreign tourists, who all happen to be at the scene as if it were staged. The case would have been simple to close, if only their testimonies didn't contradict one another completely!

Awaken your senses and join us in navigating the hidden alleys of the market. Meet the locals, explore the shops, and uncover the secrets hiding beneath the vegetable stalls.

Ultimately, who pushed the vendor? Or could it be the mystical curse of the market? Join the investigation and help us uncover a truth that might not even exist.
