Times change even in the most traditional aspects. And if not, ask the members of a village of Phayuha Khiri, in the province of Nakhjon Sawan, where they have changed the traditional image of a cat to call rain for that of the renowned Doraemon.

Traditionally, in this area of ??the country, they resort to this type of “processions” to ask for some rain at this time when thermometers begin to rise. It is the old ritual called “Hae Nang Meaw”, which literally means the cat parade.

For the occasion, these parades bring together neighbors dressed in bright colors while spectators spray the inside of the cage with water. It so happens that for some time now, locals have begun to change traditional cats for Doraemons and Hellokittys.
