Tak Bat Devo (Thai: ตักบาตรเทโว, RTGS: Tak Bat Thewo, pronounced [tàk bàːt tʰēː.wōː]) is a Buddhist festival that is celebrated annually in Central Thailand a day after Wan Ok Phansa, the first day of the 11th waning moon.
[1] This is the celebration in order of Buddha's return to Earth after delivering a sermon to his dead mother in heaven.
"Tak Bat" (Thai: ตักบาตร) means "to present food to a monk or Buddhist priest".
Tak Bat Thewo is the special day that they will install the statue of Buddha on a small moving boat and with a monk's alms bowl in the front.
There will be some person pulling it slowly while the monks walk in line in the back and the buddish sit on the side and throw the rice balls into that bowl, which is at the front of the statue.
