Krahang (, ; or , ) is a male spirit of the Thai folklore. It manifests itself as a shirtless man, wearing a traditional loincloth, who flies in the night.
Krahang uses two large kradong (กระด้ง), round rice winnowing baskets, to fly in the night in rural areas of Thailand. It also often rides a sak tam khao (สากตำข้าว), the long wooden pestle of a traditional manual rice pounder.
