ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Chada and mongkut

Okay, so let's imagine that you are a king in a faraway land. When you have to do important things or go to important places, you want to look super special and important, right? Well, in your kingdom, there are special things that you can wear to show everyone just how important you are.

One of these things is called a chada. A chada is like a really fancy hat that is made of beautiful materials like gold, silk, and precious stones. It is usually very tall and pointy and it looks like it is reaching up to the sky. When you wear a chada, everyone knows that you are the king and they should treat you with respect.

Another thing that kings wear is called a mongkut. A mongkut is like a crown, but it's not round like a normal crown. Instead, it's kind of like a hat that is made of gold and precious stones. It's also usually very tall and pointy, but it looks like it is wider at the top and slants down towards the bottom. When you wear a mongkut, it is a sign of respect and honor.

So, to sum it up, a chada is a fancy hat that a king wears to look important, and a mongkut is a fancy crown-like hat that a king wears to show honor and respect.
