HOLIDAYS & FESTIVALS
    There is a traditional Buddhist holiday every month, especially in Buddhist Lent, when Buddhist priests have to live in monastery, which begins about July and end about October. In mid-April there is Songkran (The Water Festival: Poi Sawn Nam in Shan) that is celebrated by dumping buckets of water on anyone in sight. It is also the beginning of the Buddhist New Year.
The candle-lighting festival (Poi Tien or Poi Awkwa in Shan) takes place during the full moon of September. The purpose is to light candles to welcome the fourth god Goddama, who on that night came down from heaven to preach.
