Krai Thong

Once upon a time, there was a magical kingdom located deep inside an underwater cave where crocodiles live.

Inside the cave, a magic crystal ball floated above, shining as bright as sunlight during daytime.

He wanted to eat human flesh, unlike his grandfather, who lived by the Buddhist precepts.

Chalawan then cast a spell on Tapao Thong that she would fall in love with him and agree to be his wife.

Krai Thong, a fine man from Nonthaburi, was trained to defeat crocodiles and had mastered the skills.

He travelled from Nonthaburi to Phichit ready to fight Chalawan with a magical spear given to him by his teacher Khong.

The next morning, Krai Thong started casting his spells on a raft floating above Chalawan's cave.

The spell cast by Krai Thong reached Chalawan, the crocodile lord started to feel impatient and could not remain in his cave.

The battle started immediately, Krai Thong attacked first by stabbing Chalawan in the back with his spear.

After the locals from Nonthaburi Province heard about Krai Thong’s heroism, they established a temple for his courageous act.
