Hello everyone. 13 - 15 April of every year is the Songkran Festival of Thailand. Me and my family didn't go anywhere or splash water on Songkran with other people. My son (autistic) doesn't like loud noises and crowds. My son will get frustrated and hurt himself. So we can't go anywhere.
Today's Songkran activities of me and my family. This morning we prepare things to pour water on the hands of revered elders and ask for blessing. Me and my wife bought groceries at a grocery store from a nearby village. When we returned home, the wife collected codiaeum variegatum, flowers, incense sticks, candles and banana leaves to make flower cones for pour water on the hands of revered elders and ask for blessing.
Me, my wife and granddaughter pour water on the hands of wife's mother and ask for blessing this morning first at my wife's mother's house. The wife's mother's house is on the same land as our house.
After that, my wife and wife's mother prepare to make desserts for making merit at the temple tomorrow. Tomorrow, April 15, is the Thai New Year. Northern Thai people will go to temples to make merit, listen to the sermon, pay respect to monks, receive blessing from the monks, etc.
