A New Bell for the Temple | Bell Offering at Wat Doi Hang Nai, Chiang Rai, Thailand

P'Kung, who runs Metta Tham Cafe (เมตตาธรรม คาเฟ่), a short ride from the temple, invited me to something I had never seen: a new bell being offered to a temple. So Nittaya (my 1992 Honda Dream) and I rode out to Doi Hang. I got to unwrap the bell and carry it to its stand myself, then watched the abbot ring it for the first time. No narration. The real sound of the chanting and the bell is left in, with soft music underneath. English captions (CC) tell the small details. Where this is: Wat Doi Hang Nai, Doi Hang Subdistrict, Mueang Chiang Rai District, Chiang Rai Province, Thailand. Google Maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/hx8fiDCxWHBtE...
