Thai Post - 전체
Key summary
The annual 'Receiving Lotus' (Prathet Rap Bu) tradition in Bang Phli District, Samut Prakan Province, marks the end of the Buddhist Vassa with a ceremony where locals throw lotus flowers from riverbanks into boats carrying a replica of Luang Pho To. Originating from an act of generosity between Ramani ethnic settlers returning home for the Asalha Puja festival and local residents who provided lotuses, the custom has evolved into a registered national cultural heritage event held at Wat Bang Phli Yai Nai from October 25 to 27, 2026, under the theme 'Continuing the Unique World Tradition of Receiving Lotus: The Legend of Bang Phli's Waterway'.
