Sopin invited a trio of monks from Chaimongkol Temple to lead the water-sprinkling and blessings for the occasion, which the hotel group dubbed “Diana Family Day.”

“Today is a great opportunity for us to join in merit making and pouring of water for blessings from the monks, to enhance prosperity of life during the Songkran festival,” she said. “All Diana Group employees chose to join the water-pouring ceremony to ask for blessings from respected elders and those whom we respect. Whether they are of a subsidiary of the Diana Group, or respected people in Pattaya City, we assume that they are family.”
