Chak Phra Festival in Kuraburi

Kuraburi Chak Phra Festival

The government sector, Local communities and Temples are working together to organize the annual Chak Phra festival on October 28 – 30, 2015 to carry on and preserve the traditions of the southerners and to promote Kuraburi’s traditional tourism.

The Chak Phra tradition is a local ceremony of the southerners. It is a tradition where people celebrate the end of Buddhist Lent which is at the start of the 11th lunar month. The Chak Phra tradition is a belief about the Buddha’s return to earth after preaching to his mother in heaven.
