Craziest festival in Bangkok? | Navratri Festival Thailand
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 พ.ย. 2024
- The Navratri Street festival takes place in Bangkok (Thailand) every year and lasts for 8 days. The street festival takes place on the final day and begins at Wat Khaek temple, a Hindu temple on Silom Road. The festival stretches around an entire block in Sathon, the CBD of Bangkok.
Interestingly, this festival is a festival celebrated by people who practice and believe in Hinduism. However, I was told by a good Thai friend of mine that many Buddhist Thai people also celebrate this festival as a handful of Thai Buddhists believe in and celebrate the Hindu God, Durga.
In this video I begin on the usually jam packed street of Sathon Road and make my way to the famous Chong Nonsi Walkway. On this walk I experience people dancing, singing, lighting incense and paying merit to the multitude of shrines that lined the streets.
Eventually, we are asked to turn around as the parade starts making its way down the same street that we are walking. We turn around and head to a bridge where we watch the parade pass through.
The main attraction of the parade was the 3 Hindu Monk-like fellas, two of whom had massive blades stuck through the left and right cheeks. They walk through the streets where hundreds (maybe thousands) of people are sat. The Hindu-monk like guys throw powder onto these people who reach out to the monk and chant the same chant, desperately reaching out so that they too may be blessed. #navratri #festival #bangkok #thailand
It was a very interesting cultural experience.

Haha sorry to dissappoint😅
Hindus and Buddhists celebrate together in India and Nepal and other places where there is Hindu Buddhist population. . Nepal is birthplace of Gautam Buddha( He was born to a Hindu Royal family) but Nepal is a Hindu majority country and Hindus and Buddhists together celebrate festivals there. There is like no difference.
Very interesting, thank you😀 Please check out my latest TH-cam videos from South Africa
Not hindu royal but shakya royal family. Hindu word was not existed that times. They were non Vedic tribe.
@@jayantkamble6082found a butthurt low life ambedkarite who can't digest facts . Most sources agree that he is a Hindu . Even birth place of Buddha , "Nepal" itself is a Hindu majority country.
But you ambedkarites have this blind hatred towards Hinduism , so that you don't want to relate Siddhartha Gautama with Hinduism. Your false pride is not allowing it .
Keep living in fantasy and cope .
@@jayantkamble6082The word "Gravity" , didn't exist until Newton discovered it . Does it mean Gravity was not there ?

The Navratri festival lasts for "9" days of fasting and praying basically those men with blade on their mouths are priests they are "mediums" the deities Kali Mariamman and Murugan are possessing them that's why they give blessings to people and the noodles that you just received is called "prasadam" which is a Blessed food whenever you go to hindu temples they give free food to you ,basically Navratri is a celebration to celebrate the triumph of Goddess Durga over Mahishasur who is a Demon Nav means Nine Ratri means Nights
Hello and thank you for all of this fascinating information! I am so happy and grateful that I got to experience this!
Of course! You're very Welcome!
Hindu and Buddhist are of same religion which called sanatana

@@nirnaydhale5820 What he meant was same root (Dhamma or Dharma) Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism these religions are called Dharmic religions. Buddha was born to a Hindu Royal family. But he was like Atheist. In Nepal or in India Hindus and Buddhists celebrate together because Buddha is also worshipped by Hindus.
@@whocares3132 Buddha was not atheist nor he born in hindu family. You please get information correct then comment.
@@jayantkamble6082 you pathetic mothereffer .... This full name is Gautam Buddha. Gautam is a Hindu Last name... you m0r*n. There so many people with Gautam last name. Buddhas Father and Mother was Hindu Royal family.

Thai means Mother in Tamil.it is motherland.
Thailand and Tamil people have 2000 years of business cultural connectivity
It is a Hindu festival not just Tamil festival
Please note that the present day Thai people are descendents of ethnic DAI people of Yunnan, China who migrated southward to Mekong and Chao phraya river basins about1000 years back.
They have nothing to do with " thai " of tamil language.
@@krishnarajunarayanan2632 right absolutely right
They hv few similarities in their language with sanskrit and drivadian Language
@@krishnarajunarayanan2632 Thai language is full of sanskrit and tamil words.
Beautiful coverage.
Thank you! It was a special experience!
May be people don't know but Indian Hindu culture and Thai Buddhists culture 70% similar mainly religious point of view

It is Indian festival 'Navratri' celebrated in Thailand...it is held for 9 days and Indians have fast(no eating food)for 9 days in a row.
Yup ! Well not literally no eating sometimes people don't eat meat they eat vegetables only
Or they just eat fruits and Milk for 9 days
That is very cool, thank you for watching
Very interesting!
Buddha is Avatar of Bishnu u should know that 🕉️🇮🇳🙏😀
Thank you for teaching me🙏
Of course Gawtama was an incarnation of Vishnu, Forama was exported to Népal.
Indian was a land of God.
Iam very proud that nowadays Thailand people are aware of their origin which is hindu. Many indian temples are built, thanks to maintain indian religion, Many years ago Extremist budist in Thaïland, vietnam, Cambodge, laos, banished indian culture to budhist. But nowadays, life have change condiserably and people investi a lot in this tradition.
Thanks for all thé brahman for whatever they did for humanity is great.
God bless.
Gawtama was exported to nepal
Thanks for video brother
So nice of you, thank you for watching brother! Please remember to show your friends and please subscribe
I wonder why you chose to add the word "craziest" to the title of a video covering a religious festival? Why not "beautiful" or "amazing", etc... otherwise, it's a nice video. Thanks.
Hi JP, thank you so much for watching and please check out some of my latest content from Southern Africa.
It was beautiful and it was amazing. Craziest in the best and my loving sense of the word❤
Hindu boudh Jain are three parts of sanatan dharma.
Yeh sab bharatiya hai.
Lord Buddha is one of the avatars of Lord Vishnu (Hindu god)
Thank you for teaching me that, I appreciate it
Not for us buddhist,, never
@@nirnaydhale5820 ....you were brain washed..
buddha was born in hindu socity ....he is a hindu..... we can said
@@nirnaydhale5820 ....may be your own make buddha culture....... some nepali....amd burma..
....thats why people who slfatd^
Beautiful 🌹💋🌹
Thank you
Buddhism hinduism are same..
om name shivaye
you know people chase you away because everyone want to be in front when god come or also you can't stand on bridge because god pass from that place which is not respectful you are upper the head of god means your leg is upper the head of god. I'm in India but this is common thing everyone know and there is to much thing you should care when you even taking god name also that's why.
Super
Thanks
Christianity comes from judaism.
And buddhism also Jainism comes from Hindusim.
Not at all
@@jayantkamble6082 buddha was hindu
@@jayantkamble6082 Idiot ambedkarite .
Hinduism or originally known as Sanatana Dharma, i.e., the eternal way, consists of 12 schools, of which 6 are considered orthodox i.e. follow the Vedas and 6 not including Buddhism. The Buddha is considered the last Avatar of Lord Vishnu. I think the British divide and rule model did their best to create separation. We can see in Thailand that even the monarch holds the title of Rama. Quick check of non-western history can clear your doubts, my friend.
Today live potuvegala
@@subhashinia4985 Thank you for watching
They were all Hindu before converting to Buddhist, so Hindu is in there blood from there fore fathers
Very interesting
🙏💛💚💙💙💜🧡❤💛😇
Stop ur tag line by saying craziest festival,it's part of our culture respect it
Watch the video and maybe you will see that I respect it VERY much. Merry Christmas
Crazy as in crazy crowded/spectacle yaar, no disrespect meant. :)
@@ChristopherHainsworth you respected and called it crazy? Lol. So Asia's culture seems crazy to you?
@@TheAlpha608 no harm meant...love from South Africa
Dhoti haru pani xanta
Hindu and Buddhist cultures are the same
Cool
😆 can not stay higher they.
I didn't know at the time, but now I know 55555
Omg, this is such a shocking example of appropriation. People need to respect other cultures boundaries. There is wisdom in staying in ones own lane.
Who is crossing any boundaries?
Thanks for watching S.K P, luckily I have all the respect in the world for all people.
These kind of acts are against the teaching of buddha
Buddha said there's no god and these kind of festivals which promotes superstitions must have to be separated from Buddhism 🙏
So much pain to watch assimilation of Hinduism and Buddhism 😂😂
