BJC Big C Group Presents Royal Kathin Robes at Five Temples
The BJC Big C Group has been granted royal permission to present Kathin robes to monks at five temples across Thailand for the 2026 season.
According to a report by Thai Post on October 20, 2026, the BJC Big C Group is continuing its tradition of supporting Buddhist activities by organizing the presentation of Royal Kathin robes. His Majesty the King has graciously granted permission for the group to offer these robes to monks at five designated royal temples throughout Thailand for the 2026 Kathin season.
For residents and travelers, the Kathin ceremony is a significant cultural event marking the end of the three-month Buddhist Lent. During this period, merit-making activities are common, and visitors may observe or participate in local temple ceremonies. The involvement of a major corporate entity like BJC Big C highlights the scale of these traditional observances in modern Thai society.
While the group has announced its participation in this royal initiative, specific details regarding the exact dates for each of the five ceremonies and the names of the host temples have not been fully detailed in the initial report. Those interested in observing these cultural practices should check local announcements or temple schedules, as the Kathin season typically occurs within a specific window following the end of the rainy season retreat. This event serves as a reminder of the deep integration of royal patronage and corporate social responsibility within Thai cultural life.
