The main activity of Tak Bat Thewo resembles those of ordinary giving food offerings routines of Thai people, but it is more spectacularly held and usually comes with extra festivities. Firstly the event gathers a number of Buddhist monks, sometimes up to 500 monks at a time. Second, the occasion provides various processions, celebrations, and local trade fairs. And lastly, as it is known that Thai people just cannot live without entertainment, cultural shows, local performances, and concerts are included in the festival for the most part.
