#krahang

Krahang is a spectral figure in Thai folklore, predominantly depicted as a male entity. Traditionally, it is believed to possess a unique ability to fly, which adds to its allure and mystique in Thai mythology. Encounters with Krahang are said to often occur during the night, where it may appear to unsuspecting individuals. Predominantly found in rural areas of Thailand, the Krahang is part of the broader lore that includes various supernatural beings and spirits, reflecting the rich tapestry of Thai cultural narratives...

In Thai folklore, Krahang is a nocturnal ghost that appears as man wearing a loincloth, who uses two round rice winnowing baskets to fly around. He has also been depicted riding a wooden rice pounder, known as a Sak Tam Khao.

Krahang is said to cause harm to those walking at night in isolated areas. It is often partnered with the Krasue, and just like that spirit, is believed to live as an ordinary villager by day.
