Sao 5

Before the five boys, all born on the same day—Saturday, the 5th day of the 5th lunar month—came under the care of Director-General Apichai, they each received a sacred amulet from a senior monk to enhance their power and longevity. In addition to being sent to school and trained in self-defense to protect the country, the five boys possessed unique special abilities. Diao Somdej had exceptional hearing, able to hear sounds from afar. Therd Yodthong could hold his breath and disappear. Don Thakradan could use concentration to see things within a radius of an incident. Yod Nangphaya could walk through obstacles and walls. Kring Khlong Takian could move too fast for the naked eye and disguise himself as others.
