Buddhist Lent

It is Buddhist Lent this month.... a MAJOR religious event in Thailand. Long weekend too. People are with family and friends, walking in and out of temples on weekend. Everyone celebrates it in a religious way - temples once again! hehe.

Tourists should take the opps to go to a major temple on the 18th... it is the day of the parade. We don't know which temple to recommend to be honest! Even small ones have a yearly parade, any major ones should have it too. It's around noon - 1pm. Maybe China town might have it.

Prior to the 18th... temples would have this event where people would come and offer HUGE candles and/or lightbulbs (that's why in retails like Tesco and Carrefour) are discounting heavily on these "yellow" stuffs. It's beliefed that offer light as offering = more light/brighter life :)
