Description:

The acclaimed novel Botan Gleep Sudtai wins the prestigious best book award, but its famous Thai-Chinese author, Sampaothong, remains a total mystery to the public. In reality, the brilliant mind behind the pen name is Theeradej, also known as AhJoo. He is the youngest son of AhCheng and Meiling, a Chinese immigrant couple who moved to Thailand to start a food shop selling Khao Mun Gai and Ped Palo. While AhCheng prides himself on having three sons to carry on his lineage, he deeply resents AhJoo. Believing AhJoo brought bad luck that forced the family to migrate, AhCheng showers his older sons, Theerachai and Theerachart, with love while neglecting his youngest. Under the weight of family favoritism and his father’s hatred, AhJoo channels his struggles into writing. Botan Gleep Sudtai is a poignant drama exploring family dynamics, secret identities, and a young man's search for acceptance and identity amidst deep-rooted cultural expectations and domestic prejudice.
