Significance is the day that Buddhists will be able to offer clothing and Thai Dharma. It is an offering to the monks before performing the Loi Krathong ceremony to pay homage to the Buddha's footprint according to ancient beliefs. In the past, because in Kamphaeng Phet community there were 3 important temples, namely Wat Bang, Wat Khu Yang, and Wat Sadet, in order to facilitate the arrangement of merit-making rituals in important buddhist days The people of the city made an appointment to perform a large merit ceremony in rotation around the three temples when the ceremony was scheduled in any temple. will invite monks from 2 other temples to join the ceremony at once.

Elders, young people and children in each family will bring cloth, which may be robes, robes or yellow towels. and Thai Dharma wares include incense, candles, onion, garlic, dried chili, sugar, matches, etc., packed in chalom or other containers. Gather together at the appointed place. The temple committee will prepare fresh branches and leaves to show their position in rows. Differently, it is a forest when villagers hang the cloth they bring on the branches, so it is called Rapha Rao.
 
When you get the position The owner of the robe will go to draw lots for the title of the monk who will come to draw his rag and bring that title to be displayed on the robe.
