The Malaysian Moonkite or Wau Bulan is also a great work of art. Just look at the shape and intricate patterns on its body. The bow near the triangular head is a wind device that allows the kite to hum when flying in strong winds.
We are a group of photographers seeking to document and share the images of Asia. We are based in Malaysia and we use a wide variety of cameras.

Thank you.

Nice Picture. However, this is not a picture of a Moon Kite or Wau Bulan. It is a picture of a Peacock Kite or Wau Merak. A Moon Kite or Wau Bulan has a Crescent Like tail. You can find their images if you google in the net.
Hi
I need advise on how to buy a wau bulan and how to check in to present as a gift. Please advise.
wau bulan comes in different sizes and purpose. if you intend to fly it, the suitable size is at least 4 feet. Display wau bulan sizes ranges from 6 inches to 4 feet or more. Wau bulan made for display are not suitable to be flown.
Small wau bulan for display of 6 inches to 18 inches can easily be packed and cheked in as luggages or hand carried.
There are also 4 feet wau bulan made for both display and flyable. Some of which are foldable and can easily be packed and cheked in as fragile luggages.

Wau is basically a kite made Kelantan style. The wau of Kelantan is well known for its intricate work and its size.
For generations, the wau of Kelantan has been representative of the State. Some say that a lot of cultural influence came from its past which has links to Thailand and perhaps even a little further into ancient Indochina.
But the Kelantan wau stands even today as an elegant example of its rich heritage and culture. It symbolises the strength and beauty of the land and its people.
Kelantan folks take great pride in their wau which they show off at the slightest opportunity. In the old days, they used to have wau competition. It is a serious business. Much pride is involved. Rightly so, too.

According to some wau lovers, Wau season is during harvest time and the colours and shape of the kite are dependent on the skills and knowledge of its makers.
There are many types of wau. The most popular being the Wau Bulan. Others are wau ikan, wau merak (peacock), and wau kuching.
Some people have reported that the art of making Kelantan wau is also a closely guarded secret. Something about father passing on to son the family secrets and knowledge linked to the kites.
The national airline of Malaysia, MAS, has the wau as its symbol.
Kelantan wau are hand-painted and are made up of coloured paper and special threads. Even though wau making is no longer as prevalent as before, it is still being done in some villages.
The wing span of a wau is about 2.5 metres and the height of each wau is about 3.5 metres.Bamboo forms the main structure of the kite.
When wind conditions are right, a wau can reach a height of more than 450 metres.
The ancient art of wau making can be traced back to its roots in old Malacca where the royal court was said to indulge in it as a sport.
The two states in Peninsular Malaysia where wau is hugely popular are Kelantan and Terengganu. There are intermittent wau competitions held throughout the year.
During these competitions, the victorious party would be the one who came up with the most ingenious design and has achieved an unprecedented height in flight.
