wow ee - lum
The 'wow ee - lum from the north has a similar design to 'wow pakpao' but it has no tail or tassel. It is easily made from crossed bamboo sticks, with one stick being an axle and the other one being the wings, Then it is covered with paper, and then beautifully decorated.

wow dui dui
The 'wow dui dui' or 'wow tui tui' has a similar design to the wow chula but it gas one small wing instead of the 'kha gob' and it has its head bound with a 'tanoo', or 'sanoo' or 'ood' made from a bow of thin pieces of rattan or fan palm. This causes the 'dui dui' to make an interesting sound when it flies.

 

wow ee - praed
The 'wow ee - praed' is a modified version of the 'wow ee - lum', they have a similar frame and the kite paper is used to make both wings. When it flies, its ends will move, when pulled, it will make a 'praed' noise.

 

wow ngu
The 'wow ngu' is a kite in the form of a snake. The frame is divided into the head, and the tail. The head is shaped into a trapezoid and is curved like the extended cobra's head. The tail is made of paper cut into long shapes, to resemble the tail of a snake.
