Day 93 - 95 Magha Puja



Monday was another Buddhist holiday here in Thailand called Magha Puja. It is celebrated on the day of the full moon in the third lunar month. It was a day in their history when 1,250 enlightened monks came to respect the Buddha without arranging the visit. I think they believed it was sign of some sort.... I am trying to learn about this religion.


Anyway, this meant a three day weekend. I traveled back down to Hua Hin to meet some friends and enjoy the beaches, biking, hiking and relaxing time away from Bangkok! We visited Wat Khao Takiap where monkeys had overtaken the entrance. I thought they were pretty cute... How often do you see a monkey trying to make an international call??

As long as they don't make that call on your phone it is cute!
