History spurts to life with selfies, cosplay

Buppe San Nivas (Love Destiny in English): The soap opera that is sending flocks of fans to Ayutthaya, is seen on Thursday and Friday nights on TV Channel 3.

Due to Aor Jao fever, a craze from that TV rom-com mega-hit Bupphesannivas (Love Destiny in English) on TV Channel 3, I decided to cancel a merit-making trip to Ayutthaya Saturday.

That's a pity since Ayutthaya has always been my favourite destination. But I have no choice because I have to avoid a platoon of Aor Jao fans.

"Aor Jao" is a bygone term mostly about women during the 17th century. Now "Aor Jao" has become a term to call die-hard fans of the television series which is known in Thai as Bupphesannivas.
