Wao Bai Mai (Leaf Kite) — a Dried Tong Chat or Tong Kung Leaf with Two Front Bridle Lines and a Vetiver or Cogon-Grass Tail, or a Simple Geometric Frame Covered with Leaves Instead of Paper

"Or a kite frame may be tied and covered with leaves instead of kite paper; it is usually tied in simple geometric shapes such as a circle, triangle or half-circle, and it must have a tail." (Sirindhorn Anthropology Centre, author ปริญญา สุขชิต (Parinya Sukchit), CC BY 4.0)

Use leaves such as tong chat or tong kung (ใบตองชาด, ใบตองกุง) and dry them.

Tie two bridle lines (sung) at the front, and fit a tail for tying the line at the leaf tip, about 3 sections (as the source words it).

Tie vetiver or cogon grass on as the kite's tail. Or tie a kite frame in a simple geometric shape, such as a circle, triangle or half-circle, and cover it with leaves instead of paper; it must have a tail.
