Paying respects, making wishes, enjoying canal-side community life and keeping Thai culture alive
On Sunday, 10 May 2026, Wat Pan Prasit Aram and Pikka Floating Market were full of visitors and Buddhists who came to make merit and relax amid the warm canal-side community life.
Many visitors paid respects, applied gold leaf and made wishes at the great Luang Phor Pan image for good fortune for themselves and their families, in the peaceful and calm atmosphere of the temple.
At Pikka Floating Market, visitors strolled through the market, sampled local food and experienced the charm of Khlong Dan community life up close.
There was also a sea boxing performance that brought fun and laughter to the crowd, along with Thai music that added to the Thai atmosphere.
Another important activity was the preservation of the tradition of offering alms to monks by boat, a distinctive custom of the Khlong Dan community that continues to be handed down.
The overall atmosphere was full of happiness, faith and community cooperation, showing the charm of Wat Pan Prasit Aram and Pikka Floating Market at its best.
