Procession of Phra Sai, Songkran tradition, Wat Pho Chai

An impressive trip, a magnificent Songkran festival with the ceremony to invite Luang Pho Phra Sai, the sacred Buddha image of Nong Khai Province. It is a local tradition that has been around for a long time at Wat Pho Chai. Every year, Luang Pho Phra Sai is invited from the ordination hall to participate in the ceremony, parading around the ordination hall and around the city. Many people from the area or other provinces come to join the ceremony. The Phra Sai is paraded around the ordination hall 3 times. During that time, the people of Nong Khai continue to pour water on it. When it is complete, it is invited to be enshrined on the throne in the ordination hall. It is cleaned and polished to be clear. It is an opportunity for the people of Nong Khai to pour water and ask for blessings during the Songkran festival. Then, the replica of Luang Pho Phra Sai is enshrined at the pavilion so that people who did not make it in time for the parade can pour water on it from April 13-18, 2024.
