 wow
chula
The 'wow chula' is regarded as the unique Thai national kite, it is
basically star shaped and can be easily controlled to fly
gracefully. In ' wow panan' games, it is the male
kite that is used to fight against the ' wow pakpao' which is a
female kite.
wow
pakpao
The 'wow pakpao' is as unique as
the wow chula and has a rhombus shape like 'wow ee - lum', but the
bamboo frame is harder. Therefore, it must have a long tail to
counter balance the weight. During the wow panan games season, it is
always found with wow chula.
 wow
ee - lum
The 'wow - lum' has a similar shape to the wow pakpao'. At the end
of both wings, there are paper tassels to help its balance in the
air. In the central region, flying the wow ee-lum has now developed
into a challenge for either kite to try to cut each other's jute
string, which draws its influence from India. one sends his 'wow
ee-lum' to cut the string of the opponent, therefore it is a game of
win or loose
wow
ee-praed
The 'wow ee-praed' from the central region has a similar design to
'wow ee-praed' from the both, the only difference is that the former
has tassels on both sides.
wow
dui dui
The 'wow dui dui' has developed from 'wow ngao' of ancient times. It
makes a unique sound caused by the 'sanoo' a bow shaped bamboo frame
on the kite body. The loudness of the 'wow dui dui' sound depends on
the design of the ' sanoo' its relation to the size off the kite.
