Songkran Ceremony (Thai New Year) – Saturday, April 18

This year the monastery welcomes anyone who would like to celebrate the Thai New Year – “Songkran” – with a ceremonial ‘washing of hands’, to be held around 12:30 p..m. on Saturday, April 18.

The Consul-General from the Thai consulate in New York will be joining us for the event. Everyone is most welcome – especially all Thai supporters in our area – to come to the monastery on that day, to celebrate Songkran and to meet the Consul-General.
