More than 300 monks gather in Don Chao Poo Forest, Phana, every December for a ceremony known as "Paravatsagram" when they admit their faults to each other. They stay in the forest for 10 days, meditating and teaching each other and lay people. During this time they are supported with daily food offerings by the local community.

The opening ceremony and the logistics of the event are organised by Phana Municipality (Tetsaban Phana). On the first day's opening ceremony speeches are made by the mayor, the District Officer (Nai Amphur) and the Governor of Amnat Charoen Province or his representative.
