The full moon known as ‘Beaver Moon’ sets behind the pagoda of Wat Phra That Doi Suthep. The Beaver Moon, the full moon in November, signals the onset of winter. Named by Indigenous North American tribes, it marks the time when beavers prepare for the cold by building their dams and lodges. This full moon shines brightly in late autumnís chilly skies, illuminating the landscape and symbolizing the last phase of preparation before winterís arrival. For many, the Beaver Moon is a reminder to gather, prepare, and find warmth as nature transitions into the quiet, reflective months ahead.
