I don't understand about the hat either but I think these are the new monks that was be ordained temporary during the rainny season which is right now in Laos. I think this was during Boun Kow Pansa or Vassa in Pali.

This ceremony called Hod-Song for the best monk at the temmple.
What you see in that picture, the monks just Got off the Hod-Song hut
and they will walk through the crowd, at the same time peolpe will lay down
their Pha-Bieng,money or some will lay down their body to let the monks step on.
It believed that, they will achieve their good wishing in the future.
