📖 Key Information
Phi Phong (Thai: ผีโพง, pronounced [pʰīː pʰɔːŋ]; also known as Phi Pao (ผีเป้า, pronounced [pʰīː pǎw]) in northeastern Thailand) or simply Phong is a ghost found in northern Thai folklore. It is said to be the result of black magic gone awry—specifically from those who practice dark sorcery but fail to control the power within themselves.
This condition is believed to stem from raising a particular type of magical herb known as wan phi phong (ว่านผีโพง, pronounced [wâːn pʰīː pʰɔːŋ])—a ghostly plant with white leaves, a fiery taste, and a glow that shines in the dark like a luminous woodlouse.
