Bun Pha Vet Festival
Falling on different dates throughout the month - so that people can exchange invitations with friends and families in different villages to join in their celebrations - this festival is a commemoration of the Jataka, the life story of Lord Buddha as Prince Vestsantara.
The story is recited in temples throughout the country and this is considered a particularly auspicious time for ordination as a monk.
