Thaa Yai 2010 in Wat Plai Laem
Back to a home game for this years Thaa Yai. Last year saw us celebrate and participate in Wat Chaweng but this year it was back to the roots so to speak.
Busy preparations
It seems like I have lost track on how many Thaa Yai's I've attended but it must a quite a few by now. The last four years, since I'm blogging I've always attended.
The food baskets as pictured here, are part of the tradition of welcoming the deceased back again amongst for a few weeks each year. This particular basket has a nice food made garment layer over the rest of the food.
Some of the baskets are a real treat to the eye and later also to the stomach!
Home made food selection for the monks
It's always an early day though, my wife gets up at 3 or 4am to start preparing the food, but she's already gathering ingredients, talking about it and getting all excited about it a couple of days in advance.
One of the food baskets with a lovely heart!
One of the nice tings about this event is that you get to see many relatives and friends that all gather once a year for this event. Each year I see more and more familiar faces.

A display of various food baskets with candles burning. Always an amazing view.
If you have the opportunity, try to visit one of these local events, they're interesting to experience.
