Thai television continues to explore period storytelling through fantasy, with platforms such as TrueVisions NOW presenting narratives that combine fantasy elements with cultural heritage to extend Thailand’s soft power.

Sarocha “Freen” Chankimha is ready to work her magic! The fan-favourite star is set to lead the upcoming fantasy-drama The Witch of Siam, where she will be joined by Naphat “Nine” Siangsomboon.

Adding even more star power, the series boasts a supporting cast featuring Luke Ishikawa Plowden, Jakarin “Gap” Puribhat and Pitchatorn “Noon” Santinatornkul.

Adapted from the popular novel by Manusya, the series centres on Irene, a wandering witch enchanted by the rich flavours of Thai cuisine in Ayutthaya. Her journey leads her into an unexpected romance with a cunning master thief, and as she helps him through moments of peril, their bond deepens amidst the turmoil of war.

Love fades into longing as the story stretches across five centuries, and she must now find a way to reunite with her lost love. The series is slated to air on TrueVisions NOW.

“I’m thrilled to be part of The Witch of Siam! […] This is also my first time working with Nine Naphat. Please support me, Nine, and the entire team! Please support the series The Witch of Siam. See you very soon!”

the 27-year-old actress says excitedly in a short promo video.

The series has already generated significant buzz, with fans eagerly anticipating its premiere.
