At 4:00 am. yesterday, I took a bath quickly to go to Wat Lamai with folkins. We brought a lot of food & fruits into many bakset.When we arrived at Wat Lamai's Community's Chapel , there were many people around . Mostly are women. They sat grouply with the same family's names to join the same group of food baskets.
In the food tray , there is a big bowl of Rice, wrapped in cone shape by banana leaf. Arounded with small pots of several local style foods such as; Squid stirr fried, "Yok Yuan" Mince Pork cooked by steaming with Salted egg yolk on top , varieties of fish menus-curry-fried, "Nam-Prik"with vegetable, etc.
the sweet & fruit bowls with color fags and Thai style bouquets.
There were many people out of the groups came to add their food with us then we had to sent ours in return to put in their groups baskets. Besides, the sweet for this fest in the past has used only Local styles. There are some available in Samui.
"Chao-Hai" -ขนมฉ่าวหาย , the sweeten crispy rice cookies with frosty caramel on their skin.
"La-Krob" -ขนมลากรอบ , the local La of southern but re-cooked by deep fried into several shaped.
"Pong" -ขนมพอง , unsweeten rice cookies.
"Kai-Pla" -ขนมไข่ปลา , the sweetpea nut grinded and stirred fried with coconut sugar , shaped into fish's egg,then deep fried.
"Kai-Mod" -ขนมไข่มด , same ingredient with Kai Pla but making into ball shaped instead. Untill 6.00 am. our food baket was nearly finished. The monks came to announce the ceremony. Then let people to bring the baskets to the shelves instead of under the trees as in the past.
Finish decorated Basket or called " Binn"-บิณฑ์
People were carrying the Binns to Wat's shelves. Then we preyed in Bali for hours and it's time to take back Binns to the groups. After Binns came , people in groups grabbed anything they wanted back.
When the binn was empty. Time to go home .This time is the receive ancient spirits into the family. They were believed to stay with us about 15 days, then we will come to Wat Lamai with Binns again to send the spirits back to their places.
We weren't not be serious for whatever we could take back home because we always set group to eat together in our sala in the middle of village.But the time in preparing things brought many young and far-away folkins back to families and made the moment full of joy that more important than anytihng.
