Sawasdee - Tieng Thai: Phien Dich tu Bangkok Post 28-10-2003

phuangmaalai
I think one beautiful practice representing a tra***ion of Thailand is the use of dainty fragrant phuangmalai. This delicate string of flowers has a place in almost every function, ordinary or special. Simple yet beautiful garlands are for daily matters õ?" worshipping at temples, household shrines, spirit houses and with amulets. More elaborate ones are specially produced to welcome or say farewell to special guests on special occasions. In todayõ?Ts conversation, Eddie and his Acharn talk about the use and kinds of phuangmalai.
