HistoryPhra Ruang or Sri Intratit, one of the first Sukhothai King, was a kite enthusiast in the early 13th century. There is a story that led to a great adventure. He was flying his kite one day when the string broke and landed on a roof of nearby palace belonging to a well-known man called Phraya Aue. He decided to wait until nightfall before disguised as a commoner, climbing the palace walls and retrieving his kite. Suddenly, He remembered that Phraya Aue had a beautiful daughther. Therefore, he sought out the girl and spend the night with her. Though, the outcome of the romance is unknown.
Types of Thai KitesThere are various kinds of Thai kites, but the widely known are E-lum, Pakpao, Chula and Dui-dui kite.
E-lum kite has the shape of rhombohedron. It is made of bamboo wood and the thin paper which covers the bamboo sticks. The tips of the two sides are tied up with tassel which helps to control the direction and helps its stability.
The specification of Pakpao kite is similar to E-lum kite, but the structure of the wing parts is much stronger than E-loom. Moreover, the tail is longer and is made of clothes to ballance the kite. Pakpao kite can be flown as an animal posture.[3]
Chula kite is in the shape of five rays of a star which made from five sticks of Seesuk (Thai: สีสุก) bamboo wood. The longest stick called “Petch mai” (Thai: เพรชไม้) is used to make the center line of kite and other two sticks are used to make the wing parts and the left to make the leg parts. The leg parts are shorter than the wing parts. The stretch is made of thread and covered with Sar paper (Thai: กระดาษสา).[4]
Most of people believed that the origin of Dui-dui kite is from Chula kite. The shape is different from others. There’re a big oval at the top and a small oval at the middle of the kite. The two tails are in the shape of rectangular. It is made of Wai wood (Thai: ไม้หวาย). When the stick is attacked by wind, it makes the sound "dui-dui". Mostly, Dui-dui kite is created by monk and is usually played in the evening. [5] The competitions between Chula and PakpaoNowadays, a few people can afford to spend their free time to go kite-flying. Therefore, the annual contest for the coveted King’s Cup has been shortened and run only for 15 days in April. Dates and duration can be varied, which are depended upon the organizers in each year. In facts, the Chula kite is larger than Pakpao kite. Hence, at least two Pakpao teams should compete against one Chula team for fairness. The whole game is approximately 90 minutes. However, the competition should be divided in 2 rounds. The positions of the Chula team and the Pakpao team are different because the Chula team stand at the edge of the field. On the other hands, the Pakpao team stand at the rope, which tied up to separate the field into 2 parts. Finally, the winner is the team who can drag the kite of the opponence downward into its own area.
