Khatha are used in Buddhist Chanting, By Ruesi sages for their magical spells, inscribed on Buddhist and Occult amulets and Yantra cloths, as well as being the main body of content in Sak Yant Buddhist Tattooing; The sacred Yantra tattoo designs are both filled with Pali Khatha, as well as being used to embellish the spaces between each of the designs too.
When a Khatha is inscribed on paper, cloth, metal, skin, or any other surface for that matter, it is traditionally done using the Ancient Khmer Alphabet (known as "Phasa Khom", or "Khom" in Thai language). The Khmer (Khom) alphabet is only permitted to be used for sacred or magical texts, and never for common speech or everyday matters. This alphabet is considered by some Thai people to be extremely sacred and to possess Magical power within the letters. This is the lettering seen used in Sak Yant Tattoos.
