Happy Birthday, Ajahn Dhammanando!

Happy belated birthday!

In the case of very senior or very famous monks the laity might arrange a birthday party. The rest mostly just follow the general Thai birthday practice of doing some kind of merit-making act such as freeing a captive fish or a turtle, or offering gifts to their fellow monks.
Out of curiousity, what kind of birthday cake might they make in Thailand?

Hi Individual,
Cake-making is not really a strong point of Thai cuisine. Cakes are usually made out of rice flour and nearly always taste like sawdust. They are, however, nicely decorated.
Best wishes,
Dhammanando Bhikkhu

Happy Birthday, Venerable! Indeed, those don't look very appetizing. Love Thai food though. Just thinking about Coconut Curry or Pad Thai could set my imminent rebirth in motion. Not yet ready to leave that....
"As Buddhists, we should aim to develop relationships that are not predominated by grasping and clinging. Our relationships should be characterised by the brahmaviharas of metta (loving kindness), mudita (sympathetic joy), karuna (compassion), and upekkha (equanimity)."
