Before the year 1997, I followed the group of Pramote Phaupra (President of the Journalists Association) to offer Kathina at Pak Ou Temple.

then circling the boat to see Pha Hung and Pha Aen

As far as I can remember, taking a boat from Luang Prabang to the north for about two hours...beautiful islands with clear water

In my knowledge at that time, it was just that.

But Pha Hung, Pha Aen, in the knowledge of Professor Lom Pengkaew (Book of Treasures of Life, 86th Anniversary, Phuampetch Publishing House), he knows like a teacher.

know deep, know far

Pak Ou, at the foot of Pha Hung (Pha Rung), a cliff that looks like a hawk spreading its wings.

Fried right wing along the banks of the Mekong

The left wing spans along the Ou River.

Above Pha Hung is the location of Nang Hua's coffin, Nang Hua in the fairy tale, the sad love story of Khulu Nang Hua's young woman.

These two love each other hoping to live together.

but Mae Nang Hua deprived

Because of disgust, Kulu is poor.

will give Mrs. Hua to Khun Lang, the rich man's son

When Khulu's parents raised their betel nuts and asked for them

Mother still did not allow both scolding.

Mrs. Hua hanged herself.

Khulu slashed his throat to death with his halberd.

Khulu Nang Hua's body was in the same coffin.

become a cliff nested on Pha Hung

Coming to the story of "Hung", a big falcon that died in a cliff.

The story is even more thrilling.

Originally, there was a city named Khitkhin.

This hawk or hawk flies to eat people every day.

until the people are about to run out of towns

Then two good brothers and sisters Thao Khadthanek and Thao Khadthanam volunteered to defeat Hung.

Use the crossbow to shoot the hawk's wings through.

Fly to death... Look at the cliff, there you will see the left wing.

There were two holes through it.

The cliff face, Pha Aen, the cliff that embraces Pha Hung

At the area that borders the Mekong River is called Kaeng Oi, Muang Nga. Above the Kaeng Oi, there is water coming out of the cliff.

In Lao language, this water is called "Chee". The boat people often talk to the people on the boat. This is Nang Hua's tears.

Pha Aen has its own story.

equally fun

It's a crossbow shooting skill.

Between the Lao people and the Khmu people

At that time, the leaders of the two tribes had a dispute over territory.

But instead of war

but agreed that

If any clan leader shoots a crossbow more accurately

then choose the desired land

Betting at that time, there was only a city that was a plain and a city in the foothills of a high mountain.

The results of the crossbow shooting showed that the leaders of the two tribes hit the target equally, but the difference was that the Lao crossbow hit the target and stuck into the cliff.

But the crossbow of the Teng tribe

The shot hit the target but fell.

As a result, the Lao tribe who won the city only

dominate the plains

The loser Khmu tribe

must go to rule the city on the mountain

Stories that gossips know from ancient times to today

The crossbow of the Lao tribe uses dung (steep from the stingray's nest) to attach to the tip, then shoots and attaches to the cliff.

but the crossbow of the Khmu tribe does not have

It's said that with equal craftsmanship.

but who wins and loses with wisdom

Ajarn Lom told many legends.

I get to the content...

In Sukhothai, King Ramkhamhaeng's inscription mentions one part, "Tai Chao U Chao Khong (Mekong) came out", confirming the continuous movement of people...

The selected area collects field data.

Preliminary results suggest that

The Ou River may be the main route.

in the migration of groups of people

who speak the Lao language

and Ajarn Lom believed that including Thai people

so it can be summed up

Many Thai people go to Luang Prabang.

and took a boat upstream to U

pay homage to monks at Tham Ting

Take a boat trip to see Pha Hung, Pha Aen... Few people will know that when they came back, they bumped into one origin.

in immigration to the south of Thai people

If we believe that "Ngua In", the fifth son Khun Borom sent down to rule Ayothaya...(Suphan Kanchanaburi) is true.

When I'm in

Taking the route through "Pak Ou", you will have to look up at Pha Hung, Pha Aen, and listen to the legend of Khulu Nang Hua.

Like all of us who go.
