The Song Khran Festival in the Buddharama Temple in Sweden.

Songkran is a Thai traditional New Year which starts on April 13 every year and lasts for 3 days. Songkran festival on April 13 is Maha Songkran Day or the day to mark the end of the old year, April 14 is Wan Nao which is the day after and April 15 is Wan Thaloeng Sok which the New Year begins. At this time, people from the rural areas who are working in the city usually return home to celebrate the festival. Thus, when the time come, Bangkok temporarily turns into a deserted city.

Peace be still

Fredrika is blessed with a Buddhist temple and a monk all year long. The Buddhists restored an old house and made the best out of it. They have restored it and is still working to improve this very little, but real Temple.

We adress this since it is a common thinking that there is no temple in Fredrika before the new temple is buildt. Until Everything in Thailand calms down, and the Thai's get enought money and start building the new big Temple, this old temple is open and are welcoming everyone who wants to visit.

Here are some pictures that shows this nice little temple.
