Makha Bucha, an important religious celebration in the Buddhist calendar, falls on the full moon day of the third lunar month, this year on 14 February.(Yes this year on Valentine!)
The religious holiday is designated a public holiday in most Mekong Region countries such as Thailand, Myanmar, Laos and Cambodia.
Nation-wide Buddhists attend ceremonies that venerate the Lord Buddha and his teachings. It involves visits to temples to perform merit-making activities in the morning, and in the evening, people join candlelight processions around temple ordination chapels, three times in a clockwise direction.Yellow is the favorite color of the day.
