Krahang ((タイ語:กระหัง)), also known as Phi Krahang, is a male spirit of the Thai folklore. It manifests itself as a shirtless man, wearing a traditional loincloth,〔(Bangkok Post - Thai ghosts: Welcome to our world )〕 who flies in the night.〔Royal Institute Dictionary, 1999 edition, first printing (2003)〕 ''Krahang'' uses two large ''Kradong'' (กระด้ง), round rice winnowing baskets,〔(กระด้ง - Kradong )〕 to fly in the night in rural areas of Thailand.〔(Krahang wax museum figure )〕 It also often rides a ''Sak Tam Khao'' (สากตำข้าว), the long wooden pestle of a traditional manual rice pounder.〔(การตำข้าว )〕 ==Legends== ''Krahang'' is a type of nocturnal ghost that is said to haunt the same areas as Krasue, a female spirit of the Thai village folklore, thus these two spirits are often mentioned or represented together.〔(Vampire Movie poster with Krahang and Krasue )〕 Legends of the Thai oral tradition say that this is an evil spirit that may harm people walking at night in out of the way areas. Like Krasue it lives the life of a normal villager during the day.〔(Phi Krahang )〕 In August 2012 villagers at Lat Bua Khao, Sikhio District, in the western part of Nakhon Ratchasima Province, blamed Krahang for some nightly attacks on local women.〔(Matichon ลือ "กระหัง" ทำร้ายแม่ลูกอ่อนสีคิ้ว ชาวบ้านผวาพาลูกสาวหอบข้าวของหนี !! )〕〔(ชาวสีคิ้วผวา! “กระหัง” โผล่ซ้ำ หวั่นจับผิดตัว )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Krahang」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
