Old Bangkok photos nostalgic images five decades on
2 July 2008 - Old Bangkok photos feature a set of very old pictures taken by a visitor to Bangkok in 1959. Many of these images of Bangkok will remain as just memories. Others have endured the test of time.
The vintage of these photos beats everthing weve presented so far. Please see the permalink for more.
July important events
1 July 2008 - July is a holy month in Thailand during which the Buddhist Lent or Khao Pansa starts.
On 17 July or 15th day of the 8th lunar month, its Asarnha Bucha Day. This marks the day Buddha gave his first sermon after reaching enlightenment.
The day after Asarnha Bucha Day is the start of the Buddhist Lent or Khao Pansa. This is a period for austerity and abstinence. Campaigns are ususally launched on the local media during this period urging the people to refrain from drinking alcohol.
July is the month when a member of the royal family performs the ritual of changing robes for the Emerald Buddha for the rainy season. This ceremony is performed three times a year; in March for the hot season, July for the rainy season and November for the cool season.
The Buddhist Lent lasts for exactly 90 days or three lunar months. It ends on 14 October or 15th day of the 11th lunar month.
It has also started to rain heavily. We just had a torrential downpour this morning. Its a good time to stay indoors to blog, read a good book and keep your feet dry, not to mention the throat as well.
