Dear members,

This Sunday, we will be organising a trip down to Wat Buddhapadipa Temple once again for the

KATHINA and LOY KRATHONG FESTIVAL DAY =)

Please click on the Buddhapadipa Temple’s website (http://www.buddhapadipa.org/0/9169FFDD201D1A3E80257157007117CB) for information on both the Kathina ceremony and Loy Krathong festival.

The temple will be organising both these events on the same day so you will get a chance to experience an auspicious Buddhist festival and learn a bit more about Thai culture!
