Phran Boon, one of the characters in the Manora troupe, is the character that often brings the most smiles to people. The Phran Boon mask has a long, hooked nose, painted all over red, except for the teeth, which are painted white on the upper teeth. Then, white duck feathers are attached to make it look like gray hair, called a “hunter’s face.” It is worn when the hunter dances.

Phran Boon is often made into an amulet that gives the power of loving kindness and popularity because during the time he is out hunting, he is in close communication with the audience. Phran Boon’s gestures continuously draw laughter from people. He is a symbol of being the center of attention, being loved, and being the center of many people.
