Later that night, we also SOUM MA Portao Thip and Maitao Keo and LeO said the "SOUM MA" poem that LeO learnt from school.

SOUM MA with a 5-precept plate (KHAN 5) is our transition for showing great respect and appreciation to our parents and elderly - this is indeed a great deed to do during Pii Mai Lao.
