Thai term for Hanuman , the monkey-general, when he magically enlarges his body. In the Ramakien, he does this on several occasions, most famously in an effort to protect Phra Ram's by hiding his pavilion in his mouth, when the latter had had a bad dream in which it was foretold that danger would come with the night, and again at the occasion when he uses his tail to form a bridge for his army to cross a river during his search for the hermit Phra Chadil, who could show them the way to Longka, though in the Reamker, i.e. the Khmer version of the Ramayana, he is portrayed using his entire body .
