I see that the point of this story has been missed. Even the Key search words are not really correct. That is not surprising. This is after all a Thai ghost story.
In order to understand Thai Ghost Story you need to understand two things. The first and foremost is ghosts are real. Yes, they can be just a real as you or I. Because of this they interact with real people, Sometimes for a good outcome and sometimes of one that Is not so good.
Second: Thai Ghosts have a kind of hierarchy. There is a whole list of them you can find on Wikipedia. I am not a ghost expert but I suspect that Phum may be a Phi-Ka-Taihong. ( a person that does not know he is dead.) My reasoning for this is that Phum is protecting Tam from his actions.
Now to the ending.
The ending is brilliant. Why? Because Phum and Tam become united in the spirit world. Ah, but when does Tam die. He drown while looking at the sky.
There is one othr thing to remember, especially when watching a Thai Ghost Story, Time does not flow as we naturally Think.
