The public park along Khlong Chiam in the heart of Yasothon city has a large toad (Phaya Kan Khak) and Naga statues (Viman Phaya Thaen), which are inside a museum that tells the history of the legend of Phaya Kan Khak and Naga, along with local traditions and cultures.
🐸 According to the legend of Phaya Kan Khak, it is an interesting and culturally significant story of the Isan people, especially in Yasothon province. The story of Bodhisattva Kan Khak who fought with Phaya Thaen to bring rain to the villagers is more than just a folk tale, but also represents the beliefs, hopes, and struggles of the people against hardships.
According to the belief of Phaya Thaen: Phaya Thaen is the god of rain that Isan people respect. But when Phaya Thaen is dissatisfied with humans, he will withhold the rain, causing drought.
Bodhisattva Kan Khak: Represents compassion and helping others. He fought with Phaya Thaen to bring happiness to the villagers.
