The ceremony commences from the 1st to the 6th day, but never begins on a Friday (“Wan Suk”) as “Suk” in Thai means happiness. Guests often arrive at the house of the decease dressed in dark or white clothes and Monks arrive every evening around 7pm for the 6 days to help chant Buddhist Scriptures while holding the sacred thread which stretches into the coffin. This sacred thread is believed to help infuse or transfer the monks chanting to the deceased to aid the deceased in acquiring the words of the scriptures for his/her journey (Buddha Dharma Education 2010).
