Unique Ramadan Traditions From Across the World

Animal Sacrifices Are Common in Thailand

In Thailand, Ramadan foods are a big part of life during the holy month. Muslims in this country follow the strict rules about fasting, but they also love to eat when the sun goes down and they can eat again. In fact, they often kill cows or birds during this month to feed themselves and their families throughout Ramadan. They also give a lot to charity during this time.

These gifts occur in the shape of Iftah feasts. Usually, neighbors will make big amounts of food for these feasts and then trade them with each other as a gesture of friendship and respect.
