MAKHA BUCHA DAY

For those of the Buddhist faith, Makha Bucha is a day reserved for spiritual reflection, as well as merit-making visits to the temple. Celebrated on the full moon day of the third lunar month, it is regarded as the second most important Buddhist festival of the year. Keep in mind that there is always a 24-hour alcohol ban imposed on this day, which will run from midnight on the 15th to midnight on the 16th.
