When they get to Bangkok, Neung tells Song about their family secret, that they have the ability to see ghosts and spirts. It has been passed down from generation to generation in their family. Hearing this, Song doesn't believe it. Neung then shows Song by revealing that he's a ghost. After that, Song believes him.
Neung begs Song to continue the family's occupation as a Shaman, so he can help people in need and to guide the lost souls/ghosts/spirits in the right direction. Song declines and tells Ord that he sees Neung's spirit but Ord doesn't believe him. Na Wai (Jim Chauncheun) who was Neung's helper, wipes ashes across Ord's eyelids making him able to see spirits. In the end, without having anywhere to go, Song agrees to become a shaman with Ord and Na Wai as his helpers.
Ping (Mo Monchanok Saengchaipiangpen), a female officer and friend of Song whom he use to have a crush on when they were younger, is dating Neung. Upon hearing that Song is back, Ping goes to visit and hurriedly asks about Neung. Song tells her that Neung is dead but she doesn't believe him. because they haven't found his body.

He has to start learning all the magic spells from the beginning, including the use of various tools. Most importantly Song has to steadily upkeep the 5 precepts of Buddhism in order to have the power to fight against the evil spirits. But this isn't an easy thing to do because Song has a fun, outgoing and naughty personality. Every time Neung tries to lecture Song about being on the right track, Song will tell Neung's ex-girlfriend from 5th grade, Tangorn (Group Jutarat) who is a ghost, to chase Neung away.
As Song continues to suppress the ghosts, he starts to feel that his brother's death was suspicious. Song begins to search for clues for his brother's death by taking on the jobs to suppress ghosts because Neung will not tell Song how he died. Ping has also gotten suscpicious of the disappearance of Neung. Ping tries to collect clues from various cases with the help of the other officers (Mick Boromwuti Hiranyatithi & Tee Doksadao). But in actuality Neung doesn't want Song and Ping to seach for his killer because he knows that the Shaman who killed him is very powerful and dangerous.
Song, Ord and Na Wai will experience hilarious, crazy and hair raising cases together while suppressing ghosts and trying to solve the case caused by actions of something mysterious. As for Ping who will go through many dangerous situations with Song, she will slowly open up her heart and start to feel good towards Song. In the end how will the adventures of the Shamans be?
