Mongkol is a Thai word that signifies blessings, good fortune, and prosperity.

In Muay Thai, the Mongkol refers to a ceremonial headband worn by fighters on their foreheads. It is believed to offer protection and safeguard the wearer from harm. Historically, the Mongkol was considered part of the formal fighting attire, worn throughout the entire match and never removed until the bout was over.

Today, however, the Mongkol is regarded more as a spiritual amulet than a required part of the uniform. Fighters typically wear it only before the match begins, during the Wai Kru Ram Muay ritual dance, and remove it once the fight starts.

This tradition has deep roots, tracing back to ancient times when warriors would wear sacred headbands as a form of spiritual armor before heading into battle.
