elef Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 LHL, I'm still not convinced! "Magha Puja - falls on the full moon of the third lunar month (February). It was on this day that 1,250 enlightened monks converged to pay respect to the Lord Buddha without any prior appointment. The day is celebrated in a similar fashion to Visakha Puja day." buddhanet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasmine Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 My Hubby said I would not get any flowers becase the cost of sending from the States, I swear, you men behave a tad differently when married!! I would say, a woman will be happy with the gift of a million Baht any time, forget about the flowers. Jasmine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Singhaman Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 There is nothing to give. Temples will have a special ceremony early morning, perhaps some start at night. The monks will be most likely the ones who will celebrate that day. Other Thai's, will go shopping or watch TV or talk on the cell to eachother for ages. It will be a long weekend and it will be the first weekend after pay day, so beware of the traffic. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
