Buddhism

It was Sunday before the New Year and Mother wanted to go to the Wat Sawang Arom temple to buy her lottery tickets. I am led to believe this is good luck when you go here.

It's that special time of year where we can let go of the old to invite in the new for our lives so we head off to our local temple to celebrate Loi Krathong in true Thai style.

It is a common sight around Thailand to see local temples hold large fêtes and this week it is time for our local Wat to hold theirs.

Monday the 12th of August is the Thailand national mothers day holiday so I took our girls out to lunch.

It's the Buddhist Lent holiday so we take a drive west of the big smoke to a Temple with a unique effigy.
