Asarnha Bucha Day





15th July 2011. Theravada Buddhist holiday commemorating the Buddha's first sermon given in Deer Park, introducing the middle way, the noble eight-fold path and the four noble truths. Many Thai restaurants on the island were closed today, the Buddhist people went to the mainland to visit temples and listen to sermons. Many candle and offerings are given at the temple, we made our own offering here. Burning this incense stick many people try to see their 'lucky number'; I could see a number seven but no one believed me!
