(October 23 - 31, 2007: Tapi River Bank, Surat Thani Province)
Chak Phra and Thot Phapa are two religious merit-making ceremonies that are held on the same day at the end of Buddhist Lent.
"Thot Phapa" refers to the land and water-borne processions which take place at sunrise. Buddha images are placed on elaborately decorated carriages which are then pulled by local residents. Following the procession, saffron robes are offered to monks and donations are made to the temples in a ritual known as "Chak Phra". These events are accompanied by cultural performances and traditional music.
