Asahna Bucha Day

People making offerings to Buddhist Monk

Asahna Bucha day, commemorates the Buddha’s first sermon and marks the start of Buddhist lent. A very busy day for the temples as people make offerings and some enter monkhood.

I spent the morning at Wat Pa Pradu and then the King Taksin Shrine at Wat Lum Mahachai Chumpon, (more about these in later posts).
