Rafa has been taking part in some tradition Thai rituals whilst in the country, along with more usual holiday-type antics. This translation comes from Atch2 on NadalNews ...
Sweet Nadal wakes up at 6am to give offerings in Hua Hin
Nadal woke up at 6am to give food offerings to 18 Buddhist monks along the Intercontinental Resort’s beach.
The monks arrived at 7am and Rafa came down in his blue tennis outfit, took off his shoes, and knelt on the sand. He gave offerings (of food, water and lotus flowers) to the monks. He was smiling and looked happy. He would have also received blessings from the monks afterwards) He then returned to the hotel to pass the merit that he had gained from the offerings he had made to the monks, on to his loved ones, by pouring water.
Before the monks came, Nadal was briefed on this Thai custom. He listened happily and handled everything correctly.
Since the 21st Nadal has been fishing, go carting, playing golf and practicing his tennis. On the 28th he will plant trees at Kasetsart University before returning to Bangkok. He will meet the PM on the 29th and will start competition on the 30th September. He received a bye in the first round.
