Extracted from the Wikipedia article Thai farmer's hat.

The Thai farmer's hat or ngob (Thai: งอบ, pronounced, RTGSngop, also spelled ngorb), is a traditional hat used in Thailand. More complex in design than the related Asian conical hat, the ngob is made of ola palm leaves laid over a plaited bamboo-strip frame. The frame includes an inner band which fits around the wearer's head, creating space for air circulation.
