|

In a tropical country, these properties are valorized exactly and it is why one finds quantity of uses of the chengal [...] |

From mountains to rivers
One long boat is carved from a single tree.
The two models are flat and pan-shaped bottoms.
Takian wood is the most popular wood used.
They are usually found in the mountains of tropical forests, usually near bodies of water.
The hard wood has perfect strength, buoyancy, weight and durability.
The people also believe that the spirit that dwells within the tree will bring victory and success.
There is generally 4 types of Takian wood (Thong, Hin, Nyu and Yuak) , but the Thong Takian wood is preferred because of its beauty and ?powerful spirit?.
When choosing a tree, the health and the falling of the tree are to be considered. When a tree falls, the wood might break.
The height of the tree is measured with trigonometry or directly with a rope.
When falling a Takian, offerings must be prepared for the spirit.
The Takian tree is also to be avoided in the compound.
The Takian timber is used for the making of boat.
Offerings have to be made before a takian tree is cut down.
Naang Takian spirit if annoyed will give out dreadful wailing sound if proper homage is not paid to her.
She is also a flirt and sings mournful songs to attract wandering men.
The unwitting man goes to investigate a strange sound and finds a lovely young damsel singing mournful dirges.
As he goes nearer and asks her what is the trouble, she will draw him in a fond embrace and squeeze the life out of him.
