I have written literally hundreds of blogs now about Thailand. Sometimes it can be difficult to find some of the good posts from the past. To make it easier, we have started to copy some of the better blogs to their own websites. The following websites always have their content posted first here at thai-blogs.com.

Birthdays in Thailand

By Richard Barrow

Friday 16th July, 2010 | 74 words | Category: Thai Buddhism | Send feedback »

As part of the celebrations for their birthday, many Thai Buddhists will go to their local temple to offer alms to a monk and to then receive a blessing in return. Monks are also often invited to mark other anniversaries. This week, my school celebrated 55 years and so twenty monks were invited. After a chanting session, the students and teachers then offered the monks dried food and other basic essentials like shampoo and toothpaste.
