Traditional Thai Kite-flying
Description The people of Thailand enjoy flying kites in March each year. Each region boasts its own type of kite, crafted in various shapes. The tradition of kite-flying began as a key ritual to pray for luck during the Sukhothai Kingdom and became popular among people of all social backgrounds. Although in more recent times it has become somewhat commercialized, it remains a popular traditional game in Thailand. This video describes the method of crafting a kite and the rules and techniques of kite-fighting using Pakpao and Chula kites.
