The story of the Buddhist saint Phra Malai is thought to have been imported from Sri Lanka around the 13th century, about the same time that Singhalese texts were consulted in the creation of the Sukhothai style. It became one of the most popular subjects of 19th-century illuminated Thai manuscripts, which were frequently donated to monasteries as acts of merit.

Phra Malai, according to the various versions of the story, was a Buddhist monk who accumulated so much merit that he acquired great supernatural abilities. Using his powers, he traveled to the various Buddhist hells, where he meets the suffering denizens and is implored to have their living relatives make merit on their behalf. He later traveled to the heavenly realms of the devas, Trayastri?sa and Tushita, where he met Indra and the future Buddha Maitreya, who instructed him further in merit-making.
