The Tenth Month Tradition of the Southerners✅

The tenth month tradition is an important tradition of southern Thailand, especially in Nakhon Si Thammarat, which is a tradition of gratitude to the late ancestors and a charitable dedication to the pratchan or those who go to hell.

🤟 this tradition is held during the first dusk to the 15th dusk, 10th month of every year (corresponding to September-October), with two important days:

1. Grandmother's Day (Small Day): It falls on the day of the first evening. The 10th month is the day when the spirits of the ancestors are believed to return to visit their offspring.

2. Grandmother's Day (Great Day): It falls on the day of the 15th evening. The 10th month is the day when the spirits of the ancestors are believed to return to the original world.

The main activities in the tenth month tradition include:

🙏 Philanthropy: Locals bring sweet savory foods to make merit at the temple. Popular foods are made for merit, such as the tenth month dessert, which is a folk dessert made specifically for this tradition: inflatable dessert, donkey dessert, crazy dessert, dessert, ear piercing dessert.

🙏: It is a series of sweet savory foods, including tenth month snacks, arranged on a beautifully decorated vessel, to be offered to the monks at the temple.

🙏 Prut: An event held after the completion of the merit, where the leftover savory food from the merit is placed in the courtyard or area for people to compete with, especially children, which is believed to be a charitable dedication to Prit and a memorial to the ancestors.

🙏 the Maura pageant: In some areas, a beautifully decorated and creative Maura pageant may be held.

The tenth month tradition reflects family bonds, gratitude, and belief in sin of gratitude in Thai society.
