"When the fog blankets the sleepy valley of Mae Chaem in Chiang Mai province in early November, locals brave the cold to prepare for one of their most important traditional celebrations.
The white dots of cotton bulbs grow alongside brilliant green rice paddies, ready for the annual kathin ceremony. To mark the end of Buddhist Lent, devotees offer new robes and utensils to monks. However, in the remote community of Baan Yang Luang, they do things a little differently.
Instead of buying new robes, they gather to make robes within the space of day, believing that this practice brings better fortune. Locally, the festival is called "Kathin Laen" or "Chula Kathin". Thanks to the weaving tradition that survives in the valley, Chula Kathin remains alive in Mae Chaem, unlike much of Thailand.".............
