Dam’s father is a black man so she is called Dam (black) as a reference to her skin color. The children were temporarily given to the aunt by the mother. Unable to raise them, the aunt wishes to sell them to a rich lady. The rich lady doesn’t want Dam and buys only Deuan for 3000 baht. She is renamed as Deuan Krai Saen.
