Krahang (Thai: กระหัง, pronounced [krā.hǎŋ]; or กระหาง, [krā.hǎːŋ]) is a male spirit of the Thai folklore. It manifests itself as a shirtless man, wearing a traditional loincloth,[1] who flies in the night.[2]
Krahang uses two large kradong (กระด้ง), round rice winnowing baskets,[3] to fly in the night in rural areas of Thailand.[4] It also often rides a sak tam khao (สากตำข้าว), the long wooden pestle of a traditional manual rice pounder.[5]
