A group of Thai Buddhist delegation arrived at the Katunayake International Airport yesterday with aid for Sri Lanka on a five-day visit.

The group, with 41 individuals headed by Bante Narong, the ultimate Ayodhya Temple Resident in Thailand, arrived in the country.

This group is to donate essential food, medicine, and scholarships for students, as well as robes for monks in Sri Lanka.

In addition, this Buddhist delegation is to participate in the annual Katina Pinkama at Kohilagedara village in Kurunegala.

Also, this group is expected to visit Galle, Ahungalle, Dambulla, and Kandy to engage in a tourism promotion program between the two countries. They are going to visit the Dalada Maligawa and meet the Malwattu and Asgiri Prelates.

The tour has been organized by the Sri Lanka Tourism Promotion Bureau and Jetwing Travel Company. (T.K.G. Kapila)

Why are Thai's who can be called exemplary Buddhists visiting horrible countries such as Sri Lanka whose Buddhism is an insult to Lord Buddha's great preaching's.

The Thais are proud of their Hindu and Indian heritage and the Mahabaratha along with other mythology is a tome closely associated to Thai heritage. Whereas we have been fed that our Buddhism is superior and allows us to unjustly eliminate those who don't participate in our falsehoods and have caused our country to become the anus of civilization.

High time the proud or falsely proud srilankans learn from the thai people who have a great cultural heritage though it has borrowed extensively from india.Thai government supports the ramayana and mahabharat and treats lord rama as a hero unlike the average srilankan who does not understand his own cultural heritage

It is nice to know that at last a true Buddhist country Thailand has come to the aid of so called Buddhist country Sri Lanka by providing food, medicine etc. while all these years aid was provided by Western countries and countries in the Middle East who are Christians and Muslims.
