Thai Actress Kob Papassara Leads Sacred Relic Transfer for Asahna Bucha
Actress and producer Kob Papassara has facilitated the transfer of sacred Buddha relics from two Bangkok temples to Lamphun province to mark Asahna Bucha Day.
On the occasion of Asahna Bucha Day 2026, Thai actress and producer Kob Papassara Techa-paibul, known for her work with Papassara Production, participated in a significant religious merit-making event. According to a report by Khaosod Online, she was entrusted by Phra Phrom Wachirapho-thiwong, the abbot of Wat Thai Buddhagaya in India and head of the Dhammaduta mission for India and Nepal, to receive sacred Buddha relics.
Kob Papassara collected these relics from Wat Suvarnabhumi and Wat Phra Ram 9 Kanchanaphisek. The relics are being transported to Wat Tha Muen Khao in Mae Tha District, Lamphun Province, where they will be enshrined for public veneration. This initiative aims to allow local Buddhists and visitors to pay their respects and contribute to the preservation of the faith.
For residents and travellers, this event highlights the ongoing cultural importance of Asahna Bucha, a major Buddhist holiday. While the relics are intended for public worship at the Lamphun temple, specific details regarding the permanent installation ceremony or potential viewing hours for international visitors have not been fully detailed in the initial reports. Those interested in visiting Wat Tha Muen Khao are encouraged to check local announcements for updates on when the relics will be available for public viewing.
