RE: Lantern Festival, Wat Hariphunchai, Lamphun, Northern Thailand

in Worldmappin2 years ago

The lantern festival is pretty famous here in SouthEast Asia. Hmm, I wonder why people are barefoot walking around in the temple, is it the regulation or rules there? The festival is truly colorful and I believe you enjoyed your time there. I loved the three words you described the festival. !PIZZA

Is true, every Asian city and country has a version of a lantern festival.

Barefoot? Is polite and expected inside every home and every temple. A common Asian courtesy and yes, a rule in the temple. When I first came to live in Thailand 20+ years ago, one even had to take one's shoes off to go into a shop. But back then, most shops were the front room of someone's house, so it was a logical thing to do.

Pizza? Always appreciated.
