The Thai Buddhist Calendar has several festivals throughout the year.
Each festival people use whatever skills they have by way of cooking,
physical support in getting the temple and grounds ready for the
forthcoming festival and help and assistance during and after the vent.
We rely heavily on the volunteers as no one is paid for their services
except in a professional role such as Solicitors, Accountants, Builders

and bills due to our charitable status.
Each reduction or gesture of giving is greatly received and used for the
betterment of the Temple and Buddhist faith.
