Seven tonnes of durian handed out for Labour Day in Samut Sakhon
by Natthanan Sirisantiworakul
Thousands attended Wat Thamai in Samut Sakhon, west of Bangkok, to eat seven tonnes of free durian that the temple had prepared as treats for workers on Labour Day.
A 3km traffic jam formed outside the temple, while a ceremony was organised at 9am to make merit for His Majesty the late King Rama IX and for His Majesty the King Maha Vachiralongkorn.
The seven tonnes of durian came from Rayong and Chanthaburi orchards as well as having another batch on standby if it proved insufficient.
