พระสังข์ทอง
ผิวเนื้อเรื่อเหลืองเรืองรอง
เปล่งปลั่งดังทองนพคุณ
งามเลิศเหลือมนุษย์สุดแล้วพ่อ
ปากคอคิ้วตาเหมือนหน้าหุ่น
(จาก สังข์ทอง บทพระราชนิพนธ์ในพระบาทสมเด็จพระพุทธเลิศหล้านภาลัย)Pra Sang Thong
Pra Sang Thong is a male character in
another famous Thai folk tales. He was adopted by a female giant named Nang Panturat
when he was young not knowing that she was a man-eating giant. His foster mother
disguised herself as a human being when she was with him. Once in a while, she would
go away to find food. During one of those periods, he surveyed the cave that she
forbade him not to enter and found lots of human bones. In this cave, there is also a well
in which a human's complexion would change to golden yellow. He did jump in and so
looked as shown in this slide. Learning about Nang Punturat's true being and afraid
that she might eat him one day, Pra Sang later tried to ran away from her.
