Nestled in the heart of Phayao Province, the picturesque Phayao Reservoir will serve as the backdrop for a celebration like no other – Magha Puja Day.
On February 24, this Buddhist festival, which is also transliterated as Makha Puja Day, unfolds amidst the tranquil waters, captivating thousands with its spectacular candlelight boat processions.
Magha Puja is a revered occasion, commemorating the historic gathering of 1,250 enlightened monks who assembled to hear a sermon by the Lord Buddha.
In Thailand, the “Wian Thian” ritual engages Buddhists in candlelit processions around Buddhist temples, fostering reflection and shared devotion.
