Sawadee Khrap
Sorry to have taken so long to post some pictures. Here are some shots from Wat Suan Dok as they celebrate the reading of the Jataka Tales. The Jataka is a collection of stories of the previous Lives of the Buddha, told by the Buddha for universal application. 10 of the favorites are read throughout the day in the temple.
This is normally done on Loy Krathong Day (Nov 24th), but because most people are at the major celebrations in the city, Wat Suan Dok celebrates it the week before. The balloons will be released during the week and on Loy Krathong Day. I will get more shots as the festival continues.
Ciao
