Phuang malai

[citation needed] There is historical evidence that the Chola kings from Tamil Nadu (South India) had captured parts of what is currently Thailand, Java and Sumatra, Indonesia, and Sri Lanka.

In general, the Tamil people are skillful garland makers and celebrate every special life event with flowers and garlands- from birth to death.

In the 4th month ceremony, it was mentioned that fresh flower garlands were made by the king's chief concubine Thao Sichulalak (ท้าวศรีจุฬาลักษณ์).

Bamboo garlands are part of the tradition of Phu Thai people in the village of Kut Wa in Kuchinarai District, Kalasin Province, in the northeast of Thailand.

To celebrate Phu Thai, the villagers of Kut Wa create ornate garlands and form a procession around Wat Kok to display their handiwork, with dancing, singing, and rhythmic drumming.
