Another thing that I like about Songkran is that there is a tradition for the young to visit their elder.
We call it in Thai “Rod Nam Dam Hua” Briefly it is done by the young pours water in the elder hands and receive blessing in return.
It is for us to make a visit, pay respect and ask for forgiveness if we had done any wrong to them.
I really like this tradition. Now this tradition has become very popular and common.
Around 2 days ago, I had an opportunity to join my friend’s family to a modern trade store for lunch and groceries shopping.
The Store also did this tradition, a few store staffs and the mascot walked around and “Rod Nam Dam Hua” every elder they found.
My friend’s father also had a part of this activity. Even it was a marketing or PR activity, I still felt good.
