CHIANG RAI — Over 500 people have participated in a mass Buddhist prayer ceremony in Chiang Rai province to ward off widespread rumors that yet another earthquake will hit the northern region this week.

Several hundred people joined the mass chanting of Buddhist incantations, led by 199 monks in the province’s ecclesiastic college yesterday. The academy’s rector, Phra Rattanamunee, chaired ceremony.

Phra Rattanamunee said the two hour prayer session was held to prevent a repeat of the 6.0 magnitude earthquake that struck Chiang Rai on 5 May.

“The prayers will cause blessing and peace, and prevent all kinds of calamity,” said Phra Rattanamunee.

According to rumor, a hermit in the mountains of Chiang Mai has predicted that another earthquake which will strike the province on 24 June. – Full story Click Here
