*Mothers Day Thailand *

If you are not a daily contributor to monks, 
you should do this on your birthday and other special occasions.
Such an occasion is today: August 12 is Mothers Day in Thailand.



Local food vendors have extra servings on hand for donations to the monks



On peak donation days pickup trucks accompany the monks to store the large volume of donations. The extra food is served to village poor

 

Various groups of monks from different temples make their rounds



After donations monks say a blessing. It is customary to pour water during this blessing



It's a family afair
