  "story": "Same origin story as the mongkhon and the same function: a piece of somebody else's cloth, worn into danger. And the cloth is usually not blank — a prajiat carries a **yantra**, written in the same script and by the same kind of master as a tattoo. Thai accounts of what a warrior took into battle list the prajiat beside the takrut, before the moulded Buddha image took over that job. At Sala Kao Hong in Chaiya the prajiat went round the head and stayed there for all five rounds, which is a different object from the modern armband.\n\nIn some gyms outside Thailand, and the article names Brazil in particular through the Chute Boxe lineage, prajiat are coloured by rank in the way a karate belt is. That is a western graft onto a Thai object, and Thai gyms do not read them."
