People in Lopburi province have donned traditional Thai attire, as they participate in merit-making activities on Uposatha Day.
The Lopburi Deputy Governor, district chief and local residents took part in merit-making activities at the Sab Sai Temple in observance of the weekly Buddhist holy day. The event was held under the slogan “United in donning Thai traditional attire and making merit on Uposatha.”
The program provided an opportunity for civil servants from all sectors and local residents in the area a chance to make merit together, while simultaneously promoting Thai traditional clothing.
The clothing hearkens back to the reign of His Majesty King Ramathibodi III, who ruled over Siam in the mid-17th century.
