Hello everyone. How are you today? I hope all is well with you and your family. Last week my wife and I had the opportunity to visit a tradition event at a temple in Chai Prakan District. This temple is the temple among nature. The temple is about 21 kilometers from our house. Traveling to this temple, We have to travel on highway 107 from our district (Fang District) to Chai Prakan District. And must travel on rural road in Chai Prakan District to get to this temple. We started our journey around 8:00 AM. There were not many cars on the road that day and there was no traffic jam. The atmosphere of the our journey that day. My wife was the driver and I take photos from the our car at about 60 - 70 kilometers per hour.
Highway 107
The rural road in Chai Prakan District.
We parked our car in the courtyard outside the temple. This area has many shops. So we walked around the courtyard outside the temple first. We bought snacks for breakfast. Takoyaki, French fries and drinks are our breakfast here.
Inside the temple there are many large trees and mountains. The buddha image hall (viharn) and pagoda were just completed a few years ago. And in the morning many people performed religious ceremonies outside and inside the buddha image hall (viharn) first. Both pay respect to the monk and the buddha image, give the offering dedicated to the monks, make merit and receive blessing from the monks.
This area is mostly populated by Tai-Yai people living in Thailand and there are some local Thai people. People who attend the traditional event are therefore more Tai-Yai people than local Thai people. Around 9:30 a.m. there was a parades into the temple. Which is the parades of the Tai-Yai people.
Around 9:40 a.m. - 10:30 a.m. there are many shows. Many of these shows are all of the Tai-Yai people. We really like these shows. Both traditional dances of the Tai-Yai people (for both children and adults) and show the lions of the Tai-Yai people. It was very fun.
Unfortunately we have limited time. We had to pick up our son (autistic child) from school around 11:30 AM, so we didn't see other religious ceremonies and shows. These are the stories and photos I want to share for this post. Invite everyone to see and enjoy my stories and photos. Please forgive any errors/mistakes. Have a great day. See you next time. Thank you for your support and visiting my post. Bye 🤗
