Ceremonial incense sticks from Thailand, offered in various sizes and types. Select the style available on this page. Each stick is a thin core coated with fragrant material that burns slowly and releases a light scent.
In Thai and Lao homes and temples, incense is burned as an offering during daily chanting, merit-making, and festivals such as Songkran. Three sticks are the common number placed before a Buddha image, standing for the Buddha, the teaching, and the community of monks. The smoke rises as a simple sign of respect.
These sticks are meant for an altar holder or a small bowl of sand. Compared with heavily scented synthetic sticks, ceremonial incense is usually milder and burns cleaner. Light the tip, let the flame catch, then blow it out so the stick smolders. Place it in a stable holder. Never leave a burning stick unattended. Empty the ash when cool.
Thai ceremonial incense sticks—choose the size and style that fits your holder.
