The social-climbing Dok Toh additionally arranges for Soy to meet the handsome, yet dull, son of the local sheriff, who has a pair of slow-witted henchmen who will help enforce Dok Toh's orders that Joei and Soy never again see Yam and Tong.

Tong and Soy stay up all night talking about their feelings for one another, while Joei takes sexual advantage of Yam.

With the money earned while she is in Bangkok, Joei transforms herself by assembling a new wardrobe and undergoing beauty treatments, including having her skin lightened, a prominent mole removed, and her teeth straightened and whitened.

Discouraged by their lack of success, they return home, but through the efforts of the monk, they finally hear from Soy and Joei.

In fact she was on the bus, but because she had drastically changed her appearance, Yam did not recognize her, and showed no interest in Joei when she approached him.

Janet Khiew was nominated for best actress at the Thailand National Film Association Awards.
