Bangkok Temple Tours

In this picture you can see a sign that invites everybody to make a donation by buying on of these buckets filled with usefull everyday items for monks. From the profit of the sales scholarships for Buddhist students are paid, and also electricity bills for the temple.
The buckets contain things such as plastic bowls to take a batch, cottonpads, ginger drinks, candles, incense sticks, water, washing detergent, noodles, tea, toothbrushes, small towels, a monks robe, toothpaste, matches, a sponge, paracetamol and toilet paper
The value of the bucket is written to be 275 baht – which equals about 6 Euro or 10 dollar. You should at least donate 100 baht or any other amount that you find appropriate.

Donation box. In front of the donation box there is a stack of envelopes, a piece of paper and a pen. Before people make merit they write the name of the deceased person they want to make merit for on an envelope, put the money in an envelope and put it in the donation box.
