Nation Group holds krathin merit making at temple in Sing Buri

Nation Group chief executive officer Shine Bunnag led staff and partners to take part in krathin robe-offering merit making at a well-known temple in Sing Buri province on Sunday.

Shine, Nation Group staff and partners of Nation Group have raised a donation of 1.5 million baht to offer to Wat Pho Kao Ton in Tambon Bang Rachan of Bang Rachan district, Sing Buri province, to repair the roof of the chapel of the temple.

The merit-making rite started with a ritual to make an offering to the ancient Bang Rachan heroes who sacrificed their own lives trying to defend against intrusion by Burmese troops during the Ayutthaya Kingdom period.

The ceremony was presided over by Phrakhru Wichit Wutthikhun, chief of Bang Racha monastic district and abbot of the temple.

After the rite, local residents joined a procession to parade the monk robes and money donations into the temple.

Shine and his family then led a prayer and offered robes to the monks as part of the ceremony.
