Significance of day of birth


Recommended Posts

In many temples in Thailand you will notice a row of 8 Buddha images in a row. These signify each day of the week and more specifically to when someone is born. There are 8 as Wednesday is divided into day and night with a Buddha image for each. Apparently it is very unlucky to be born on Wednesday night.

 

Also the Thais believe that your day of birth dictates your character and what days and colours are luck and unlucky. People born on a particular day are more suited to some profession thatnothers.

 

Anyway I went for a walk up Pattaya Hill and to the small temple near the radio station. I took photos of each of the images and did a little research and here are the results. The colour listed is that day's particular colour.

Thanks for that insight into the significance of the images and their corrolation to the days. Always good to know stuff like this, especially when accompanying the girls to the temple.

Yes, I ws a bit bored that day and just had to get out and do something. It was sunny and I wanted to get some photos while the sun was out. It was very hot that day and I sweated like a fat chick.

 

Just as a side note you will notice that Monday's colour is yellow. No prizes for guessing why the Thais wear yellow on Mondays to show respect for the king. Same goes for Blue on Fridays for the Queen.

I've made the same guided tour to Wat Prathamnak with my TG and she explained to me the relevance to be born on a

specific day. That was kind of a eye opener to me because many girls had asked me before on which day I was born

and I never new why that was important for them. Thai culture is in many ways so different than the western world.

Thanks for an interesting thread.

It strikes me that Wednesday and Friday have the same characteristics here.

I was just up there a few weeks ago and was wondering what those were all about.

 

Thanks for the info!

 

Also, I was luckily born on a Monday :P

Ok, so I was born on a Monday, is any day considered to be better or more desired than the others? Is Monday only considered lucky because the King was also born on a Monday?

 

As it happens I’m also a Virgo, which has to be the worst star sign. Really, a perfectionist neat freak, anal tendencies, and apparently conservative. Tremendous.

 

So I’m nailing it in Thailand and crap elsewhere.

 

Onto the plane….

If you want to see the figures you don't have to go up the hill, although it is worth it for the view. There is another set of them in the wat on South Pattaya Road. They are next to the wall that runs along-side South Pattaya Road and very easy to find. See the photo for the location.

I was born on a Tuesday. Another thing that I found out a while ago was that I was that I was born in the Chinese year of the horse and my wife was born in the year of the tiger which apparently is good because we go together really well.
