open double quote This was our first time in Thailand and we are thankful we booked a luxury villa for our stay. Everything was great – the privacy, having our own private swimming pool which was very big and also the location, which was right in between Pattaya and Jomtien.

We will definitely be coming back again, and if we come in a large group, we will be a Thailand Holiday Homes villa. Everything was great, thank you very much.

Visakha Buddha Bucha Festival 2009

Date: 18th - 19th April 2008

Venue: Sanam Suea Pa, Dusit District, Bangkok

Visakha Buddha Bucha Festival The holiest day of the Buddhist calendar, Visakha Puja marks the birth, enlightenment and death of Buddha on the day of the full moon in May. Thai Buddhists celebrate in style.


Throughout the country people crowd the temples to hear sermons by important monks, offer donations and prayers and participate in picturesque, candelit evening processions. To attain a good rebirth, Thais believe that they must build up positive karma by doing good deeds. This auspicious day is a good opportunity for communal merit-making.

 

Visakha Buddha Bucha Festival

Perhaps the most scenic place to be is Bangkok's Wat Benjamabophit (Sri Ayutthaya Rd) for an evening candlelit procession. Also known as The Marble Temple for its Carrara marble walls and Victorian style, Wat Benjamabophit contains the ashes of King Rama V and his collection of Buddha representations from around Asia. Arrive early in the morning to see saffron-robed monks collecting alms from local people. Just ten minutes walk away is King Rama V's beautiful teak palace, Vimanmek, which is worth a visit at any time.
