The ritual reflects the folk beliefs and cultural identity of the Thai ethnic community in Yen Chau district. Dedicated to worshipping the sacred forest, it serves as a prayer for favourable weather, abundant harvests, flourishing nature, good health, and prosperity for the hamlet.

From early morning, hamlet elders and residents gathered in the sacred forest. Amid the vibrant sounds of drums and gongs, they cleared the forest path, lit fires, steamed sticky rice, slaughtered pigs and chickens, and prepared offerings for the shaman to perform the ritual.

The ceremony featured offerings to the deities, the hamlet’s founders, and the spirit of the forest. Offerings included a pig, chicken, rice wine, sticky rice, betel, areca nut, and the sacred garment of the forest spirit, accompanied by the traditional contributions from each household—silver bracelets, white fabric, and khit cloth.

The ritual is not only an occasion for the community to express gratitude to the deities and ancestors but also serves to strengthen community solidarity, highlighting the unique spiritual culture of the Thai ethnic people in Sap Vat commune and Yen Chau district as well.
