Early this morning, thousands of people all over Thailand made merit on the occasion of HM The King’s 83rd Birthday.
In Samut Prakan we also had a merit making ceremony at the provincial hall starting at 6:45 am.
About 100 monks were invited to receive alms from local government officials and Samut Prakan people.
Thai people normally do this on their birthday but on this day they did it on behalf of His Majesty.
Afterwards, more merit was made by the releasing of a million tiny sea creatures. I’m waiting for the next ceremony to start now and then this evening there will be a candlelight vigil.
