I have some pictures to share with you of the tradition of the elephant procession for the ordination of a monk.

"Thai Phuan Elephant Procession for Monk Ordination Ceremony, Ban Hat Siao" The 179th year of the Thai Phuan Elephant Procession across the Yom River, a long-standing tradition Tambon Hat Siao, Amphoe Si Satchanalai, Sukhothai Province, this year 2568, is still as beautiful, crowded with people, and fun as ever. This year, the weather was very hot, but both the elephants and the mahouts did their jobs perfectly. #Old tradition, beautiful and rare, only once a year #Tradition
