The legend of Chalawan

This past weekend I went to visit my friend Katie in the neighboring province of Pitchit. Pitchit is well known for its crocodiles because of the many marshes and swamps in this province. There is a Thai legend, that comes from Pitchit, about the monster Chalawan. Chalawan is a giant crocodile that can turn into a man. One day Chalawan takes two women under the water with him to be his wives. One of the women has a boyfriend who goes after Chalawan and kills him. There is a crocodile park in walking distance of Katies house. Here are some of the crocodiles in the park.
