How the ceremony is conducted

Each ceremony at Rattanakosin takes about 30 minutes. The general sequence has three parts: an offering, chanting, and a blessing.

The ceremony may be led by a monk or by a lay ritual master (achan), depending on the occasion and who is available at the time.

No preparation is required on your part — everything needed is arranged in advance on our side. The one thing we ask is modest dress, in keeping with the setting.

What to prepare

Modest dress and a respectful mindset. Specific offerings will be advised when you book.
