Rooo Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Every November I think, they have a big parade in Nathon with floats etc...... Leading the parade is a costumed made up person to look like this image. What does the character of that image represent? I think it's Southern Thailand related.

samui34samui Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 (edited) I think its "Ai-Taeng", one of the multiple characters of any "Nang Talung". Quite funny when you understand southern thai language. I will look for his character type later and will try to find something Edit: http://www.culture.nstru.ac.th/lifestyle/talung_eng.html Edited September 6, 2013 by samui34samui 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropicalevo Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 There is a small statue of that guy here in Plai Laem at one of the restaurants. Most of the restaurant/land owners in that area are from Nakon S T. One of the land owners looks just like him! Other than that - I no nuffin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gulfsailor Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 It's the joker character from the shadow plays. Originally from Phatthalung. According to my 10yr old daughter at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notmyself Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 (edited) It's an NST symbol or mascot. Got this keyring a few years back from a close friend and she explained. Edited September 6, 2013 by notmyself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
