Every 6 of April, Mahaguna family (my mother's family) goes to Sriracha to pay respect to my grandfather and grandmother on Chinese paying respect to predecessors (Chengmeng). After the ceremonial, we all about 50 people will have lunch together at the pavilion in front of his grave.

Grandfather's grave. However, his body is kept at the royal temple, Watt Thepsirin. But a whole family, including the family of his two brothers who use the same last name "Mahaguna", come to respect him. The pictures beside his model are family related members.

His model with his Chinese name, contributed by a Chinese Association. I haven't met my grandfather since he died when my mother was 16. But I think he looks better than the model. ;-) He was a good looking guy and used to be a very powerful man in the past. If he's still alive, he would be 115 years old now.

About couple walks, grandmother's grave is next to his. Her body is kept here. She and grandfather have their own pavilion which is apart from others.
