Rak Thi Tong Montra [Magic Love] is written in the form of novel by Thommayanti . The story line of this novel is still the same as that of Lilit Phra Lo , a well-known traditional Thai literature in the Early Ayutthaya Period. Though the plot is kept, many changes are made to suggest the writerʼs new themes and purpose. Thommayanti tells the story by using the younger princess to narrate the story in the form of a memoir. Due to Thommayantiʼs purpose, some changes in characterization are made and some events are inserted.
