Intro: Showcasing an Ancient Thai Tradition to the World
The tradition of pouring water on elders for blessings, a practice deeply rooted in Thai New Year celebrations, has been passed down through generations. This act expresses profound respect and gratitude towards parents, elders, and those who have provided support. Believed to bestow forgiveness and blessings for a prosperous life, the tradition retains its significant cultural value in contemporary Thai society.
