Global InformationKaki Klon Suphap information
Kaki Klon Suphap (Thai: กากีกลอนสุภาพ) is Thai narrative poem in the form of klon suphap, written by Chaophraya Phra Khlang (Hon) during the reign of King Rama I (1782–1809). It is based on the Kakati Jataka from the Pali Canon, and tells the tale of Nang Kaki (Lady Kaki), a stunningly beautiful palace consort who through coincidences and misfortune, ends up having to consort with various different male characters.[1] In modern Thai slang, the term kaki (กากี) carries negative connotations, and is used as a derogatory term to describe a promiscuous woman who has relations with many men, despite the character of Kaki being unwillingly coerced, blackmailed or forced into having sexual relations with the various male characters throughout the folk tale.
