Wat Phai Lueang Announces 2026 Kathin Ceremony
Wat Phai Lueang in Nonthaburi invites the public to its 2026 Kathin ceremony on October 31, focusing on three charitable causes.
According to Khaosod Online, Wat Phai Lueang (Luang Phor Singh) in Bang Yai District, Nonthaburi, has scheduled its annual Kathin Samakkhi ceremony for October 31, 2026, at 13:16. The event is organized under the theme 'Three Great Merits for Building Life’s Virtue.'
For residents and visitors interested in Thai cultural traditions, this event offers an opportunity to participate in local religious practices. The temple has outlined three primary charitable objectives for the ceremony: constructing a large statue of Somdet Phra Phutthachan (To Phrommarangsi) to serve as a spiritual center, supporting the maintenance and development of the temple grounds, and providing care for animals housed at the temple, including cattle, buffalo, dogs, and cats. As a token of appreciation for those who contribute to these efforts, the temple is preparing commemorative stamp-shaped amulets featuring a lion motif.
While the event provides a window into local Buddhist merit-making, those planning to attend should note that the ceremony is held within the temple premises near Bang Yai Hospital. As of now, specific details regarding the full schedule of activities beyond the start time remain to be confirmed by the temple authorities. Visitors are encouraged to respect local customs and dress modestly when attending religious ceremonies in Thailand.
