FiftyTwo Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 (edited) Please note: This appears to be the small tourist $100 rip-off event, and not the massive real event that happens a week earlier and is free. Real event expected on Saturday 9th PS I have never known the free mass Khom Loy release at the Dhamma Centre in MaeJo to happen the same weekend as Yi Peng. It once happened on the Saturday 2 weeks before, but usually on Saturday one week before Edited October 22, 2013 by FiftyTwo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thailandebiz Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 Yes, this is real event and no cost, you can see No.3 " Anyone can participate in this merit activity at no cost...". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiftyTwo Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 As I have stated previously, I have never seen the real MaeJo event coincide with the Yi Peng weekend in CM. Having them the same weekend would be a first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that poster has a wrong date in English (2018) but this year in Thai (2556) 14th November 2556 is the Thai date of the event at KSK from 0800 to 1800, constructing Kratongs (the floating things you put in the river).

donniereadit Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 This must be packaged tourists attending, probably from China or Japan. Most locals can't or won't pay $100! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
