Rak Nakara (Thai: รากนครา) is a Thai language novel written by Piyaphon Sakkasem, and has been adapted as a Thai television drama multiple times, most recently in 2017.

Adaptations

Rak Nakara was most recently adapted as a television series in 2017. Filming took place in the Northern Thai town of Lampang.[2] The series was initially set to air three nights a week.[3] However, the death of Bhumibol Adulyadej forced an acceleration to the series' release schedule, and the series aired every night through its finale on October 3.[3]
