Cho Fah, Bai Raka, and Hang Hong are ornamental roof components in traditional Thai temple and palace architecture. The Chofa is the bird-like finial at the peak of the gable, the Bai Raka are the "comb-like" teeth or scales along the roof edge, and the Hang Hong (or Hang Hongse) is the upward-curving "swan tail" finial at the end of the gable, all of which are significant symbols of spiritual belief and artistic heritage.
