No matter what, New Year festival is a special time for everybody. Many people wait for this period
for beginning to do some better things for their lives and families. In addition, New Year seems
like a goal of what they have done in the passing year. New Year means to Bonus which nearly
coming.
People mostly come out and enjoy shopping around this period. Apart from happiness by buying some
precious things for yourself or some gifts to the ones they love, Thai people mostly like to go to
the temple to " Tam Boon " or doing religious practices. Normally, they worship
the Buddha image by incense sticks, candles, flowers, and gold foils in the temple or donate money
to the temple or some organization. One of the most favorite New Year celebrations is nine-temple
Tam-Boon trip. People will try to worship 9 holy temples within one day visiting.
This is a kind of funny activity for all people because they are traveling in historical and beauty
places and getting some happy feeling inside.
