Makha Bucha is an important religious day for Thai Buddhists. This year, it falls on next Monday, March 6th, which will be marked with many religious candle-lit ceremonies and gathering.

 

For those who do not follow Buddhist traditions, however, Makha Bucha is still recognized as a significant day, but mainly for its prohibition of alcohol sales.

The second most important Buddhist holiday in Thailand falls on the full moon day of the third lunar month, which usually falls in February or March. The day is an occasion for Thai Buddhists to pay homage to the Buddha and his teachings.

 

The significance of Makha Bucha dates back to the time of the Buddha, more than 2,500 years ago. According to Buddhist scriptures, on this day, 1,250 of the Buddha’s disciples gathered spontaneously to listen to a sermon by the Buddha.

The event was notable because the disciples had not been summoned and they came from different places without prior agreement. It is believed that this gathering of the Buddha’s disciples was a sign of their purity and dedication to the teachings of the Buddha.

Alcohol Sale Ban

What a strange use of English-  'Makha Bucha Day returns'.

It makes it sound as if it went away, fell into disuse, and then somehow came back.

'It's Makha Bucha Day next Monday' would be better imo

Coming soon to a cinema near you, Makha Bucha 2 - The Return.

Just when you thought that it was safe to go back into a bar.

Is there a ban on cannabis sales?

 

I'm guessing yes, but am honestly not sure.
