Phăng Pratîp (ผางประทีป)

It’s a lighting equipment as same as candles. It has mixed with 2 words; “Phăng” which means to the fuel container for lighting and “Pratîp” means to the light. It normally uses for giving light in nighttime.

In the full moon in twelfth month, “Loi Krathong”, “ Phăng Pratîp (ผางประทีป)” is lighten to worship to the Triple gem as well.

Note: The Triple gem means the three holy gems which include Buddha Gem, Dhamma Gem and Sangha Gem.

In Loi Krathong festival, we not only float Krathong in the river, but also lighten the sky lantern.

Sky Lantern (Khom Loi โคมลอย)

In the heaven, Buddhist believes that the great Buddha’s hair which was cut when he ordained and his tooth bone from the cremation ceremony were there. We lighten the sky lantern and let it fly up into the sky to pay respect all of them in the heaven.

Loi Krathong (ลอยกระทง)

The festival in full moon of Thai twelfth month. There are many believes depends on each local area.

The believe of Buddhist we pay respect to the footprint of the Great Buddha on Nanthamahanathi River, somewhere far away but be respectful and honorable.

We apologize to Goddess of Water for all the bad things we have done with water and at the same time we thank for the usefulness we have got.

We also float your own suffering with the water because the river has no return, so do the suffering.

Good morning, Monday!

Today, let's see how Thai verb work with subject.

What a simple Thai!!

How do we "go" in the different time frame?

When we talk about future, the helping word is "ja", similar to "will/shall" in English.
Let's see.🙂

As I said, without any tense, we add the appropriate adverb to express what time the action of the verb takes place.🙂

In Thai, we have no verb conjugations, but we use the time words to indicate the action which took place in the past.

In fact, Thai sentence structure is similar to English structure. 😊
