Ghosts are commonly perceived as scary and evil by humans, this belief is strongly connected to the incidence of mysterious phenomena around the world, especially in Thailand. Whether believing in ghosts or not, this perception is related to our socio-cultural structure. However, despite their scary reputation, encounters with positive ghosts are common, and many experiences even lead to positive outcomes.

To illustrate the existence of benevolent ghosts based on people’s experiences, this comic book collection shares three true stories of individuals encountering friendly ghosts, gathered from people of varying ages, backgrounds, and places in Bangkok. Each story recounts personal experiences and delves into how ghosts culturally and socially impact people's lives.
