Daily weather update for tropical island destination Koh Samui in Thailand by long term resident Camille Lemmens

"Asarnha Bucha" means paying homage and worshiping on the day identified according to the Lunar calendar during the eighth month. In the Pali language, 'Asanha' is the name of the eighth month.

In Thailand, Asarnha Bucha Day (Asanha Puja Day) is one of the government holidays or the public holidays. This day is particularly one of the most sacred days in Buddhism. It is a Buddhist festival which typically takes place in July, on the fifteenth day of the waxing moon of the eighth lunar month.

It commemorates the day on which Lord Buddha delivered his first sermon called "the Dhammachakapavattana Sutta" to his first five chief disciples at the Deer Park in Benares more than two thousand five hundred years ago.

The watch is waterproof to 300 meters and has some cool features. It comes in three colours, although the official Chanel site only offers Black or Blue versions, there's supposedly also a white version out there.
The case is 38 or 42mm wide and in black, blue or white. Still ceramic, the black and blue cases are bead-blasted for a matte, rather than shiny finish. Though the white version is still done with a glossy finish.
