Photos of the “Rub-Bua Tradition” on Saturday (October 12) at Samrong Canal in Bangphli district, Samut Prakan.

 

 

Literally “catching the lotuses”, this annual tradition is held on the day before the full moon of October and sees a miniature replica of the “Luang Phor To” Buddha image from Bang Phli Yai Nai Temple transported on the canal in a floating procession as people on both banks toss lotuses into the boat to show respect.

Brilliant! This time of the year there are fantastic festivals all round Thailand.  I go to as many as I can. They are always great fun with feasting  dancing, drinking and celebrating. Great stuff!
