Visit communities and temples where candles are made and crafted two or three days before the Royal Candle Procession. Learn about the techniques and methods used as well as the designs applied to the candles.

Merit-making
Another important aspect of the Buddhist Lent is to donate candles to the temples for religious worship. It is believed that this act bestows great blessings on the donor. Visitors are welcome to join in this auspicious ritual at all temples.

Wax Candle Procession
The rain retreat is marked by two major religious events : one for the entering of the rainy season called:"Wan Khao Pansa" (วันเข้าพรรษา) and for the exit of the rainy season called "Wan Ok Pansa" (วันออกพรรษา).
The rain retreat season lasts three months.

"Wan Khao Pansa" is a religious feast and a public holiday. The religion feast is described in the "Buddhist ceremonies" section. Wax candle processions take place everywhere in Thailand.

The wax candle procession
("Phitti Hae Prasat Peung" - พิธีแห่ปราสาทผึ้ง) in Ubon Ratchathani is the most famous wax candle procession in Thailand. There is a night and day parade of huge wax candles.
The huge candles are offered to the temple. Those wax candles are big enough to last three months during the rain retreat season.
