The terms "korng sib-see (คองสิบสี่)" or "heed-barn korng-moerng (ฮีตบ้าน คองเมือง)" mean the fourteen moral patterns of the people's practice consisting of cleaning feet before entering a house, getting up early to give alms, not stepping on monks' shadows, respecting parents, paying homage to images of Buddha with flowers, candles and joss sticks and listening to teachings of Buddha everyday etc.
