Buddhism

Tonight is Loi Krathong in Thailand and also Halloween in other parts of the world. It's time to go make a wish and make merit.

It's a Thai holiday today and we're off on a family road trip to Suphan Bury to make merit.

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.
