Long before the rivers were named and men carved rice paddies into the earth, a hidden kingdom thrived in the misty marshes of ancient northeastern Thailand. This is the story of Phaya Kankhak, the Toad King — a wise and ancient ruler whose cunning saved the land from drought when the Sky God Phaya Thaen forgot his promise to send the rains.

✨ In this beautifully reimagined Thai legend, follow Phaya Kankhak and his council of hornets, catfish, centipedes, and scorpions as they steal the stars from the heavens to confront the mighty Phaya Thaen. Witness the birth of the annual Bun Bang Fai Rocket Festival, a tradition still celebrated today to call down the rains.

🎶 Featuring traditional Thai-inspired music, mystical art direction, and timeless storytelling, “Phaya Kankhak and the Star Garden” brings to life one of Southeast Asia’s most enchanting myths.
