Princess Pathumma Keson was abducted by powerful giant king named Phantha Maha Yaksa. Phantha Maha Yaksa ruled Khao Vong city, had his queen named Pussavong and a daughter named Assamala. One day, while the king and his queen were flying on the air, they saw Prince Phetsarat and Princess Pathumma sleeping under a big banyan tree. The giant flew down and abducted the princess to his city. Later, the princess sneaked away from Khao Vong city and wandered in the forest until she found the hermit whom she was living with before.
