Lots of festivities at the Buddhist monastery before Songkran

by Jim Damico

A few days before Songkran, there are lots of festivities at the Wat (Buddhist monastery).

With singing and dancing!

And prayer!

With precious jade Buddha’s.

And amazing centerpieces made from palm leaves and flowers.

Simply amazing artistry.

With more ceremonies.

And making the money trees.

And more ceremonies.

With teachers from my school.
