Abstract
Two points for big achievements. A single point for small ones. Five or ten points for exceptional accomplishments. When Peak, an architectural assistant from Bangkok, returns home to Chiang Mai for the New Year, he is determined to boast about his career gains. First contender for a promotion, he says. Super popular among his coworkers, he adds. Ma is firm on Peak impressing their grandfather, Taa, and matriarch, Khun Yai, to maintain the lead against her older brother, Na Bin. But when members of Na Bin's household – Peak's cousins, Somo and Ice – make their own career strides, Peak's and Ma's reputation is challenged. Can the two earn Khun Yai's approval, as they've had for many years during New Year's dinner, or will they lose to Na Bin, Somo, and Ice? Inspired by the disorienting effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the lives of young adults, Rai-ngan Prajum Pi 2562 is a short story about a family rivalry that masks the fight for love, the pressures of fulfilling expectations, and the chaos of life.
