Krating Daeng (Thai: กระทิงแดง, RTGSkrathing daeng, pronounced [krà.tʰīŋ dɛ̄ːŋ]; lit. 'red bull' or 'red gaur')[1] is a non-carbonated energy drink created by Chaleo Yoovidhya. The drink is marketed and sold primarily in Southeast and East Asia; its derivative, Red Bull, is available worldwide in 165 countries.[2]

Chaleo took the name from the gaur (Thai: กระทิง krathing), a large wild bovine of Southeast Asia. The logo of the drink underlies its branding, with two red gaurs charging at each other backdropped by a sun.[2]
