I'm Amatuer Makruk Player from Thailand. I want to provide that counting rule in endgame aren't correct yet.
There are 2 type of Counting Rule in Makruk but both type of counting share 1 similarity is It can happended if There are no longer unpromoted pawn (unflipped pawn). If still have unpromoted pawn on board then neither type of counting can begin.
การนับศักดิ์กระดาน (lit. Board's Strength Counting) can be requested by any player when their are no unpromoted pawn left on board, then counting from 1 to 64 on turn of person who request counting. If counting is reached 64 then opponent will have one last move to deliver checkmate. If he can't then game is draw, if he can the he win. But if person who request counting checkmate another person then game is draw. Though person who request counting can stop counting if he wish. (by the rule if you're one who request counting but on your turn you can checkmate opponent you can declared to stop counting and claim win.) But counting will never start until one player request it. Also only one person can count at a time.
การนับศักดิ์หมาก (lit. Piece's Strength Counting) happended when one side get bared (also as mentioned there must not have unpromoted pawn left on board) Then rule are followed as written in 2nd paragraph of "Other rules" but page didn't mentiomn that it always count on side with bared king. And also after untimate count is reached, side with unbared king still have one last move to checkmate if he can;t then draw but if he can he win.
