Animal Sacrifices Are Common in Thailand

Ramadan dishes are all part and parcel of life during the holy month in Thailand. While Muslims in this country follow the strict rules regarding fasting, they also love to feast when the sun sets and they're allowed to eat again. In fact, they often sacrifice cattle or birds during this month to feed them and their families throughout Ramadan. They're also big on charitable donations during this time, too.

These donations come in the form of Iftah feasts. Typically, neighbors will cook up batches of food for these feasts, and then swap them with each other as a sign of respect and friendship.
