Children likes to catch MaLaeng Por or Dragonflies as a game. In Thailand, a story is told about how dragonfiles begin life as bugs under the water before one day they leave the pond and become a beautiful creature. They fly off into the sky and are able to look down at the bugs beneath the water, but cannot go back. It was the way we explained death. That is the real meaning of the dragonfly to Thais.
