#songkran2024 As you approach the entrance, admire the carvings and detailed murals on the grey marble walls outside. Inside, you wander through several colourful halls with an array of deities, paintings and flags. It's beautiful and I felt so ignorant not knowing more about these religions, when I watched the devotees streaming in and out, shaking the "fortune sticks" and lighting incence sticks. The place is so rich in colour and symbolism. Amazing.

#PhuketVegetarianFood #AamPudJor I went to Phuket Vegetarian Food this year. I was very lucky. I made it in time to pay respect to the Nine Planets. There were flowers (according to my faith), prayed to the Buddha, and made fortune sticks. The weather was not hot, it did not rain, but there were a lot of people. Aam organized the worshippers well. There was order. The ceremony took about an hour, not long at all. I felt good that I went to pay respect and relieve some bad luck. I felt at ease. If I don't have any other duties, I will definitely come back next year. The food was delicious, not expensive, and very lively.
