A record number of people from the public and private sectors took part in the many pageants held in Nakhon Si Thammarat province to mark the annual Buddhist day of making merit on September 27. Apart from alms given to monks, some of the donations were offered to ghosts of the ancestors of donors.

Sure, but  the silver lining is it is something you can do without making merit.????

If you missed out, send me your money, I'll go to the temple and make merit for you.  I'm just that kind of guy.  ????

There nobody spend even one cent on religion. There are no preachers has own tv stations, privat jets, 100 cars, etc.
