Wat Prok, a Mon temple in Bangkok's Sathorn district, is built in the Hongsawadih style and has a stupa or chedi in Sri Lankan style, somewhat reminiscent of the Bodnath Stupa (fig.) in Kathmandu, Nepal.

Its decorated outer wall and gate show statues and images of the Hamsa, the Mon national symbol, known in Burmese as Hintha (fig.) and in Thai as hong, and this name can be found in Hongsawadih, i.e. the Thai name for Pegu, i.e. modern-day Bago, the capital of the Mon before annexation by Burma. In Mon-Burmese, it is known as Hansawati, in Pali as Hamsavati, and in English it is usually referred to as Hanthawaddy.

As such, this golden bird is incorporated in the Mon flag, former ly onto a blue field and in white the words Mon Pyine, i.e. ‘Mon State’, though a new model has since 2018 been adopted with a golden hamsa onto a red field and without a text.
