About this event
Luang Pho Sothon, the meditating Buddha image at Wat Sothon Wararam on the Bang Pakong River, draws pilgrims year round, and the temple's great fairs fill the grounds with worship, processions and market rows. The principal fair falls in the twelfth lunar month, in November, running five days; a second fair follows in the fifth lunar month around April. The 2026 November fair dates are not yet published by the temple. The window shown follows the fair's established mid November, five day pattern and will be updated when Wat Sothon publishes the programme.
