You may wonder why all these Thai construction workers are sitting down instead of working.
True, not all that unusual, but there is a reason for this break.
This past week I was invited to attend a Braham 1st post ceremony at a business here in Bangkok. This business had invited these priests to bless the 1st post site of their new building site.
Never attending one before I didn't really know what to expect. The myth is that gold, silver, bronze and a pig's head are part of the tradition.
Let's get started with the setup. In this view you can see the Braham priest carefully directs where the temporary spirit house will go nearby the 1st post.
