  • A kolae boat (Thai: เรือกอและ, RTGS: ruea kolae, pronounced [rɯ̄a̯ kɔ̄ːlɛ́ʔ], Malay: Perahu Kolek) is a traditional fishing boat used in the lower southern provinces of Thailand and eastern coast of peninsular Malaysia.It is a small coastal boat, between 10 and 12.5 metres long, the bow and the stern being higher than the hull. Designs on the boat are a combination of Malay, Javanese, and Thai styles, with emphasis on Thai patterns, such as a running scroll design, lotus, serpents, magic monkeys, and heads of birds in literature like "Burong Si-ngo" or Singhapaksi (a creature with the body of a lion and the head of a bird holding a fish with its beak) at the bow. The creature has sharp fangs and claws, is powerful and is a good diver. Therefore, it has been a favorite of kolae fishers since ancient times. The art on the boat is like an "artistic masterpiece on waves" and is considered art of life as the kolae boat not only shows off the greatness of its design, but is also the primary instrument used by fishermen to make a living. It is said that a Bang Nara villager without a kolae fishing boat is like a person without clothes. (en)
  • Il Kolae (Thai: เรือกอและ) è una piccola barca da pesca utilizzata nelle provincie meridionali della Thailandia. La sua lunghezza varia tra i 10 e i 12,5 metri. Nel Kolae la prua e la poppa sono più alte della parte centrale e questo rende unico l'aspetto dell'imbarcazione. Ogni barca è decorata con una combinazione di elementi che provengono dalla Malaysia, Giava e Thai. Vengono pertanto rappresentati animali quali scimmie, serpenti oppure elementi quali teste di uccelli che appartengono alla mitologia di queste regioni. Tra queste vengono spesso dipinte sulla prua il Burong Si-ngo o Singhapaksi, una potente creatura dal corpo di leone con testa di un uccello con grandi zanne e artigli che tiene un pesce nel becco. Queste pitture sono considerate arte all'opera in quanto oltre a rappresentare un capolavoro che naviga sono dei veri strumenti di lavoro e vengono utilizzate tutti i giorni dai pescatori. La loro diffusione è vastissima tanto che si dice che un abitante di un villaggio Bang Nara senza il Kolae è come una persona senza i vestiti. (it)
