I took these pictures at Wat Mahawong in Samut Prakan last week during their annual "song nam phra" ceremony. People came to the temple in their best clothes with their families. Much like they did for the "phra chedi sai" ceremony which I told you about before. They then prepared some rose scented water which they first poured onto a Buddha image. Next they walked down a line of seated monks and carefully poured some water onto their hands. Some people, who were a bit more familiar with the younger monks, poured some colder water down their necks.
