Kisah dan tradisi
Perempuan Berbaju Hitam dari Wat Samian Nari adalah legenda urban Thailand tentang arwah dua perempuan berbaju hitam yang konon muncul di dekat bagian depan Wat Samian Nari, Bangkok, larut malam, dan dianggap salah satu legenda urban kontemporer paling terkenal di Bangkok. Legenda ini mulai beredar sekitar 1990-an. Kuil itu, juga disebut Wat Khrai, berada di Lat Yao, Chatuchak; menurut catatan Departemen Agama kuil ini berdiri pada tahun Buddhis 2400, dan sisi timurnya berbatasan dengan jalur kereta api. Para saksi menggambarkan kedua perempuan itu cantik dan berbusana serba hitam. Mereka sering terlihat di kawasan hiburan malam seperti RCA atau Ratchadaphisek, menyetop taksi lewat tengah malam dan minta diantar ke Wat Samian Nari, lalu diam sepanjang perjalanan. Menurut Thai News Agency, ada pula cerita bahwa dua kakak-beradik berusia sekitar 20-28 tahun berdiri menyetop kendaraan dan meminta diantar ke depan kuil. Setibanya di gerbang kuil para penumpang tiba-tiba lenyap tanpa jejak. Sebagian sopir yang turun mengaku melihat keduanya merangkak di rel dengan tubuh terbelah dua dan bersimbah darah. Dalam cerita lain, mobil yang melintasi rel tiba-tiba mati, dan di bawah sorot lampu tampak dua perempuan terbelah dua merangkak menyeret ususnya sampai ke kap mobil. Konon mesin kendaraan juga sering tersendat di depan kuil. Identitas keduanya diceritakan berbeda-beda. Acara Horror Hour (2005) menyebut mereka kakak-beradik bermarga Tipsuksri, Chulee dan Sulee, yang tewas tertabrak kereta di depan kuil pada awal 1990-an. Versi lain menyebut mereka hendak ke pemakaman ibu, atau, dalam versi Somkiat, dua sahabat yang bergegas ke kremasi pacar salah satunya. Seorang sopir taksi mengaku menerima uang 50 baht yang esoknya menjadi daun. Pada 2005 acara Horror Hour di Channel 7 mengangkat kisah ini dengan dua sopir taksi yang mengaku bertemu langsung; sketsa ingatan mereka menunjukkan satu perempuan berambut pendek dan satu berambut panjang. Pada Juni 2024 Thairath Studio mewawancarai Somkiat Sapchalerm, reporter yang mengaku orang pertama yang mempublikasikan kisah ini. Sebaliknya, kepala biara yang tinggal di kuil lebih dari 50 tahun mengatakan tak seorang pun pernah bertemu mereka, dan liputan MCOT 2020 menyatakan tidak ada bukti hantu serta arsip Khaosod sejak 1997 tak memuat kecelakaan semacam itu.
This Thai urban legend concerns the ghosts of two black-clad women reported near the entrance of Bangkok's Wat Samian Nari in the late hours, and ranks among the capital's best-known modern urban legends. It began to circulate around the 1990s. The temple, also called Wat Khrai, stands in Lat Yao, Chatuchak; according to Department of Religious Affairs records it was founded in Buddhist Era 2400, and its east side borders the railway line. Witnesses describe the two women as beautiful and dressed all in black. People often met them in entertainment areas like RCA or Ratchadaphisek, where they stopped a cab past midnight and asked for Wat Samian Nari, then stayed silent for the whole trip. According to the Thai News Agency there is also a telling in which two sisters aged about 20-28 stand flagging down vehicles and ask to be taken to the front of the temple. On reaching the temple gates the passengers vanish without a trace. Some drivers who stepped out said they saw the two crawling on the rails, their bodies cut in half and drenched in blood. In another telling, a car crossing the tracks suddenly dies, and in the beam of the headlights two women severed in half crawl, dragging their entrails up onto the bonnet. Engines are also said to stall often in front of the temple. Accounts of who the two were differ. The programme Horror Hour (2005) named them sisters surnamed Tipsuksri, Chulee and Sulee, struck by a train in front of the temple in the early 1990s. Other versions say they were going to their mother's funeral, or, in Somkiat's version, two friends hurrying to the cremation of one's boyfriend. A taxi driver also claimed to have been paid a 50-baht note that turned into a leaf the next morning. In 2005 Horror Hour on Channel 7 featured the story with two taxi drivers who claimed to have met the women; sketches from their memories showed one short-haired and one long-haired woman. In June 2024 Thairath Studio interviewed Somkiat Sapchalerm, a reporter who claimed to be the first to publicize the story. By contrast the abbot, who has lived at the temple for more than 50 years, says no one has ever met them, and the 2020 MCOT report found no evidence of a ghost and no such accident in Khaosod's archives back to 1997.

The abbot of Wat Samian Nari urged people not to believe merely because "they say so" but to weigh matters with mindfulness, wisdom and reason; he stressed that he and the monks have never met the two ghosts.
