As the approach of the Thai New Year, Songkran, TSA will organize a Songkran Merit Ceremony (‘Tum Boon’) for all who wish to participate. Monks from Wat Phrasriratanamahadhatu or Wat Phrasri in Chicago will be coming to give us blessings for the new year. The ceremony will allow Thai students and residents of the Champaign-Urbana area to make merit together as a community, and to strengthen morale of those participated. The Songkran Merit Ceremony will be on Saturday, April 3rd starting at 8.45am at Latzer Hall, University YMCA (1001 S.Wright St., Champaign). The ceremony will be potluck-style. Please bring in food to offer to monks and also to share among ourselves.
Moreover, TSA and Thai American Insight (TAI) will be organizing a Songkran Thai New Year Celebration event aiming to present and educate the Champaign-Urbana community the Songkran history and traditions.
