Yao is therefore another type of treatment that is not a psychological treatment. or music therapy that many people understand But it is a ritual that is not related to disease or illness in any way. It is an illness that causes discomfort without knowing the cause. Therefore, for the comfort of the sick person, the Yao Ceremony took place. The Phu Thai people believe in ghosts. Whether it's a farm ghost, a rice field ghost, an ancestor ghost, a Ta Haek ghost. Personally, the person who acts as Yao doesn't mean anyone can't be one. It must only come from destiny. I want it to continue. I don't want it to fade away with time and the rapidly changing era. I want this belief ritual to be unique and the identity will continue to be passed on. No matter how much technology develops I want everyone to realize that What our ancestors have accumulated is valuable. have good qualities that instills traditions and customs that is a cultural be lief In the matter of gratitude to the ancestors as well.
