Local people who live nearby Wat Klong Samrong gather at the closest river banks while a boat carrying the picture of revered Buddha floats. People standing ashore then throw the lotus flowers aiming for the boat. A beautiful scene happens yearly on a day before the Buddhist Lent finishes, typically in October. The area is famous for its vast quantity of lotus flowers.
