Tradition
Month 9 (August): Bun Khao Pradap Din (Merit-Making for the Departed Souls)
The Bun Khao Pradap Din Festival involves preparing rice, savory and sweet dishes, betel nuts, and cigarettes. Villagers place these offerings in small leaf containers (called krathongs) and set them out before dawn in temple grounds—such as along fences, under trees, or on the ground. This merit-making ritual is dedicated to the spirits of deceased relatives or wandering souls without family.
