Pra Jiad is a type of armband
worn by Muay Thai
athletes. In the past, their use was to give confidence and luck to the athletes. Some fighters wear one Pra Jiad, some wear two. Some schools also use color coded pra jiads to show rank, similar to belts in karate. Today, some gyms will give Pra Jiad to their athletes to boost their confidence.
