We joined Sawang Boriboon Foundation members on Saturday Night as they conducted an annual ritual around Pattaya City which utilized a special stick which is held by two men who are thought to be possessed. They lead followers around the City and stop at locations where there is thought to be evil spirits. A special ritual takes place to cleanse the area of the spirits and the group then move on to the next location guided by the two men and the stick. This ritual originates from China and is repeated by organizations around Thailand and the rest of Asia.Sawang Boriboon Foundation members rid Pattaya of Evil Spirits.
Early on Sunday Morning, 49 Monks attended a merit-making ceremony held on Pattaya Beach Road in front of the old pier near the entrance to Walking Street which was also organized by the Sawang Boriboon Foundation. Offerings were made to the monks in this ceremony which is known in Thai as “Tamboon”.
