Phra Phrom is the Thai representation of the Hindu creator god Brahma. In modern Thailand, the deity is frequently worshipped by regular Buddhists outside of traditional Hindu contexts. He is widely regarded as a deity associated with good fortune and protection.
In Thai spiritual life, Phra Phrom often functions as a guardian spirit within animist beliefs, which coexist alongside Buddhist practices. Additionally, the concept of Brahma appears in Buddhist cosmology as Brahmā or Mahabrahma, the lord of Brahmaloka, which may also be represented as Phra Phrom.
