Mong Kon Muay, after the Wai Kru (paying respect to teacher) is completed, the fighters return to their own corners for the Removal of the Head Circlet Ritual (Pitee Tod Mongkon). The fighter stands in his own corner, lowers his head and raises hands to his chest for Wai pose, while Kru Muay standing outside of the ropes facing the fighter, raises his own hands to return the Wai. A fighter maintains the posture while the teacher utters an incantation and blows three times on top of fighters' head before removing the Mong Kon.
