Sarama (Thai Music)
Sarama ( th, สะระหม่า) is the music that accompanies the pre-fight ritual of Muay Thai matches (known interchangeably as ''Wai khru ram muay'' or ''Ram muay''). Terminology "Sarama" specifically refers to the song played during the pre-fight ritual; subsequent music accompanying is referred to as Phleng Muay ().

Wai Khru Ram Muay
Wai khru ram muay ( th, ไหว้ครูรำมวย, , ) is a ritual performed by participants before fighting in muay Thai competitions. Wai khru is a universal concept that exists in almost all of Thai performance art - from Thai traditional music to classical Khon dance and fighting arts, such as krabi krabong and Muay Thai. The ''wai'' is a traditional Thai greeting with the palms together as a sign of respect. ''Khru'' is the Thai form of the Sanskrit word ''guru'' meaning 'teacher'. ''Ram'' is the Thai word for dancing in classical style, and ''muay'' means 'boxing'. The full term can therefore be translated as 'war-dance saluting the teacher', but Thai speakers generally shorten it either to ''wai khru'' or ''ram muay''. The ''ram muay'' shows respect and gratitude to the boxer's teacher, parents, and ancestors. In the days when boxers fought in front of the royalty, the ram muay also paid respect to the king.
