Makha Bucha Day is an important Buddhist holiday in Thailand, celebrated on the full moon day of the third lunar month, usually in late February or early March. This day commemorates two significant events in Buddha's life that occurred on the same date, 45 years apart: the spontaneous gathering of 1,250 disciples, and his teachings to them. On Makha Bucha Day, Buddhists visit temples to make merit by offering food to monks, participating in meditation, and listening to religious teachings.

Surin, a province in northeastern Thailand, is home to my good friend Penny. Surin is a peaceful place, widely recognized for its connection with elephants. My weekend getaway was relaxing and we visited the renowned Elephant Village.
