Moralboosting or blessing ceremony (Baisee Su Kwan, in Thai) is the culture and tradition of Thai people living in northeastern Thailand. It is a solemn and sacred ceremony held to create the atmosphere of virtues and benevolence in the forms of worshiping, eulogizing, invoking, and offering to deities: gods, goddesses, or sacred beings, in order to gain good luck and favorable results in different stages of life. Morale boosting can be divided into three types: Morale boosting for human beings, animals, and things.
