Wimon is a loyal officer in Phra Ram's army and together they defeated the evil king Tosakanth. Ruler of the demon kingdom, Tosakanth had kidnapped Sida, Phra Ram's wife. These legendary characters are featured in Thailand's Ramakien epic story, once solely performed as a puppet show to royal audiences. Jaitip molds Phra Rak's green face from resin and paints his striking features by hand. His rich robe is accessorized with Czech crystals while his hands are carved from rubber wood. Bamboo sticks guide the puppet's movements.

Inspired by the Ramakien, Thailand's King Rama I wrote the Ramakien in 1797. Though there are similarities between the two epic stories, the Ramakien takes place in Thailand and is composed of five books, whereas the Ramayana contains seven. The characters may bear certain similarities, but there are also distinct themes that render each story unique.
