Body Text

Visit the floating village of Moat Khla, accessible only by water, and attend a Buddhist blessing ceremony in this isolated community. It's a sacred ritual for cleansing and good luck that dates back to ancient times. Those who wish to be blessed can expect the reading of sacred mantras by the priest, incense burning, offers to deities, and a little (or a lot!) sprinkle of water.
