Hello everyone. Three days ago, I took wife, wife's mother, and granddaughter to Wat Pa Mai Daeng to join the northern tradition. This tradition is called slakkapat tradition, The tradition of the offering dedicated food and necessary things to monks in the temple and monks from other temples who come to participate in rituals at the temple that hosts the traditional (slakkapat), With the condition that each monk will draw lots to receive food or necessary things from each person who makes merit. This year my wife and I joined in the slakkapat tradition at several other temples in Chai Prakan districts and Fang districts. But wife's mother and granddaughter joined for the first time this year.

🥈 Trliste Gezi Yarışması - Sanctuary of Truth by @kedi

There is a place I want to talk about as part of the Trliste travel contest. It is about the Sanctuary of Truth, a mysterious place at the northern end of Pattaya whose philosophy is based on the principles of peace and spirituality. To be honest, I did not even know such a place existed before I arrived to Pattaya. I had realized that there was a temple 8 km north of the town waiting to be explored, while doing research for the weekend. When I checked on the map, it was about 40 minutes away by motorcycle. I set off to experience the atmosphere of the temple up close, without wasting time.

🥉 The Schiessentümpel Waterfall of Mullerthal, Luxembourg. by @blind-spot

The Mullerthal region is often referred to as "The Switzerland of Luxembourg". When at Mullerthal, there are plenty of spots to visit. In the same region, there are various tourist spots, as well as geographical and political landmarks you'll embark upon. Most of them have to do with the river Black Ernz. The Schiessentümpel waterfall, the bridge, the Mullerthal trap, and the Mullerthal hiking track are all connected and further south is yet another, but lesser known Kallektuffquell waterfall. The Schiessentümpel waterfall is both beautiful and depending on the season, very different.
