Visakha Bucha Day

Tomorrow is Visakha Bucha Day, a national Holiday in Thailand.  Visakha Bucha is an important day in Buddhism, as it the day that Buddha was born, achieved enlightenment, and died.  While it was the same day, these events obviously occurred in different years.

Tim took the kids to Chiang Mai as part of a religious ceremony to observe Visakha Bucha.  She was going with her brother Top and a religious group to which he is a member.  Unfortunately, I could not go.  Saturday is the Girl Guides father-daughter dance, and I am taking Nalin.  I neglected to bring a suit with me, so I am having one tailored.  It won't be ready until Friday, so I need to be here to make sure it fits.
