THOTSAKAN

Thai War Demon

Also known as Thosganth, Tosakan, Tosakanth, ทศกัณฐ์

King of the demons

He is the ten-faced Demon King, Lord of the Raksasas and arch-enemy of Phra Ram. Read all about it in the Ramakien.

He is also a dead ringer for the Hindu demon Ravana. Battling Hindu gods wasn’t enough for him — he had to visit Thailand and start causing trouble there too.
