Thai Chinese Lion Dance - Annual Merit Making Ceremony 13-15 June - Thonburi Thailand 2025 youtu.be

Every June the local community near Wat Kanlayanamit gets together and organizes a 3 day event to make merit. They celebrate a famous monk from the nearby temple with food, dancing and more over the 3 days.

The use of the lions is believed to ward off evil spirits and bring good luck.

The event starts with bringing the statues of the Buddha and the monk out into the street and everyone gathers for free food and drinks that are provided by the locals in the community.

The last day features the amazing lion dancing on what is called the plum poles. These are tall poles at various heights that a team of dances perform on to the beating of drums and gongs. It is an amazing display of skill and choreography.

The event is known to the locals but not promoted and was a real treat to see.
