The Swan Pillars (Sao Hong) and Centipede Flags (Thong Takhab) are prominent cultural symbols of the Mon people, representing the history of Hanthawaddy City and the triumphant proclamation of Buddhism, with the golden swan atop the pillar symbolizing nobility and auspiciousness according to ancient legends. The centipede flags, or No, swaying from the pillars, serve as a mark of celebration and a spiritual tool to ward off evil from the community. The presence of these swan pillars and centipede flags at Wat Rat Sattha Kayaram is not merely decorative but serves as a proud reminder of Mon roots and a key landmark signifying this sacred space for the Mon-Thai community along the Damnoen Saduak Canal.
