Today It is also a  temple day here in Amphoer Ban Dung and many people have been going to offer food to the monks to make merit.  Tim has been busy over the past 2 days making Coconut Kanom ( snacks) to take .

It took her hours to make the small banana leaf baskets and then make the filling which had mashed bananas in it along with other ingredients which were then steamed before being topped off with shredded coconut.

As well as offering food to the monks everybody has been offering food to the Ghosts (pi). They leave small parcels of food in the temple grounds, their own home and even their farms and plantations. This is to keep the ghosts happy and make sure they look over their property.
