The 12 Mon dances in Tambon Koh Kred are one form of dance of the Mon people who have immigrated since the Ayudhya period. The Mon people perform the dances in ceremonies and traditional rites to pay homage to their ancestors. There is no limitation as regards the number of dancers and their age. As regards the structure of the dances, it has been found that the head, body, hands and arms, and feet are used with variation. There are three ways of using the head-tilting it to the right, tilting to the left, and holding it upright looking straight ahead. There are two ways of posing the body-upright or inclined to on side. In addition, there are four ways of arranging the hands, namely, flat, Thai-styled crimp, and flat with the fingers pointing upward. There are five ways of arranging the blooming-lotus circle. Finally, the feet of the dancers can be moved in 6 different steps—stepping, pounding, swatting, touching, trampling, and inching. With regard to the dances, there is only one set of postures specifically for each of the 12 songs, performed with music, but without a singer. At the beginning and ending of the dances, they sit down and prostate themselves to pay respect to the audience. The movements of the dances are confined within the radius between 50 to 75 centimeters. Regarding the costumes, the dancers dress in traditional costumes with different colors of the ‘sabai’ or a shoulder wrap to signify the occasions. The number of the dancers range from 4 to 12 or more, and the dance is generally performed in the afternoon or evening on a ground in front of the venue where the ceremony is being held. The dances take approximately no longer than one hour.
