Organise the ceremony to pay respect to masters of Muay Thai and pay homage to the late Thai great kings, and present a picture for foreign Muay Thai boxers to understand how Muay Thai boxing begins, and learn self-defence in the Thai style that all Thais in the past from kings to villagers had to learn to protect their homeland and themselves. The presentation will be easy for understanding, so that all participants will see the importance of the ceremony.

 
   
 
Organise a mobile exhibition on Thai martial arts, with real performers to show various forms of self-defence; for instance, fighting with a sword, one against two (Dap Sam Ban), halberd (Ngao), short and long weapons (Krabi Krabong), etc., for participants to learn and to invite them to study Thai martial arts in diverse fields, which will enhance their understanding during the period of the ceremony.
Organise demonstrations of Thai handicrafts and food for participants to witness world-famous Thai cuisine culture.

 
Provide space for Muay Thai boxing camps to present their training courses and accept applications if any.
