In addition to the late afternoon and evening events of parades and shows in the streets there are live music activities and dance shows until well into the night. A lottery is one of the main events and in the 2011 Fair one lucky winner scooped the first prize of a brand new house in Phuket worth over 3 million Baht. The Red Cross Fair, in common with most events of its kind across south east Asia, is an unusual combination of open-air market and Chinese-style temple fair and is staged, not only as an event popular with locals and tourists, but more seriously to raise money for the Thai Red Cross in Phuket. Entry is free and as well as carnival games and food stalls there will be an exhibition area where visitors can learn more about the Thai Red Cross.

Festive celebrations are typically staged in areas where there is a significant Thai-Chinese community such as the Yaowarat district in Bangkok and in the provinces of Suphan Buri, Ayutthaya, Chon Buri (Pattaya district) and Ratchaburi in Central Thailand, Nakhon Ratchasima in Northeastern Thailand, Nakhon Sawan (Pak Nam Pho) and Chiang Mai in Northern Thailand, Songkhla (Hat Yai district) and Phuket in Southern Thailand.While a variety of contemporary elements have been incorporated through the passage of time, Chinese New Year celebrations throughout Thailand are a reminder of the rich cultural and artistic legacy and wealth of history preserved in these тАШliving museumsтАЩ.

You will be treated to a madcap climax to a thoroughly hilarious romp. Auditions will be held at The Eastern Grand Palace Hotel at 6:30 PM on Tuesday, February 28, 2012. All interested parties both talent-wise and back stage should plan on attending. The performances will take place on June 15-16, 2012 in The Eastern Grand Palace Hotel.

ONGOING EVENTS

To 29 March - French Thai Cultural Festival The French Embassy in Thailand is organizing LA FETE from February 2nd to March 29th, 2012 for the 8th time in the past 9 years. About 20 different cultural and artistic events will be presented over a period of 9 weeks. Some of these events are Thai, but they are mostly French; they cover many fields of creativity: modern circus, classical music, rock, DJ, contemporary dance, hip-hop, visual theatre, photography, cinema, fashion, etc., and some of them will only be shown once or twice. This year, LA FETE will celebrate the 100th Anniversary of Alliance francaise de Bangkok, founded in 1912, co-organizer of the Festival. Bangkok remains central in "LA FETE", but events will also be hosted by 6 other Thai cities: Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Hua Hin, Koh Samui, Khon Kaen, and Phuket! LA FETE has become a popular appointment in Bangkok and is eagerly awaited each year. It is well known for its inventive programming and its many free events. In 2011, over 300,000 people attended at least one event or more; the 2012 edition promises to be just as full of discoveries and emotions.

To 31 March - Cooing Competition ASIAN BARRED GROUND DOVE COOING COMPETITION Yala Province, Southern Thailand Thais have long believed that doves are creatures that bring good luck to those who rear them.

Thats delightful such a nice way to get those in the South meeting up with their neighbours over a cooing dove contest rather than a bomb throwing one, I would love to go I've always loved cooing doves.

You get these diminutive doves (nothing like pidgeons) around hotel pools such delicate but plucky little endearing things they always hop onto the table amongst the silver cutlery looking for scraps for all the world like the perfect table decoration, what a pity avian influenza has turned peoples attitudes in such a hysterical manner :love7:

SONGKRAN "Songkran" is a word from the Sanskrit language which means to "move into" and refers to the orbit of the sun moving into Aries. It marks the end of a 12-month cycle and the beginning of a new solar year. Songkran is therefore the Thai New Year celebrations. This traditional Thai custom of merry-making is the Kingdom's most 'sanuk' (fun-filled) festival, celebrated with tremendous enthusiasm, nation-wide, once a year. In most parts of the country, Songkran extends over a period of 3 days. Known the world-over for its characteristic tradition of water-throwing ranging from a courteous sprinkle or a polite splash, to harmless water pistols and showers from garden hoses to the well-aimed bucket or water-cannon delivered in a festive spirit. Without a doubt, on the practical side, Songkran is a refreshing solution to "beating the heat" in the hottest season of the year. There is a however a much deeper significance to "Songkran". Apart from marking a new beginning, Songkran is also a time for thanksgiving. It is an important time for individuals to reflect upon the many acts of kindness and thoughtfulness each has personally experienced and to remember how such acts of generosity and compassion bring peace, happiness and well-being. Songkran is also the time for reunions and family ties are renewed. At the heart of each Thai custom and tradition, there is always a logical reason for its existence. The festive elements of the celebration, the cultural values, the social code of conduct and individual belief and practices are intertwined. Songkran embodies the traditional Thai cultural values. The underlying significance of Songkran is the process of cleansing and purification тАФ the purging of all ills, misfortune and evil and starting the New Year afresh with all that is good and pure. Water is symbolic of the cleaning process and signifies purity.

to 22 April in different areas - SONGKRAN "Songkran" is a word from the Sanskrit language which means to "move into" and refers to the orbit of the sun moving into Aries. It marks the end of a 12-month cycle and the beginning of a new solar year. Songkran is therefore the Thai New Year celebrations. This traditional Thai custom of merry-making is the Kingdom's most 'sanuk' (fun-filled) festival, celebrated with tremendous enthusiasm, nation-wide, once a year. In most parts of the country, Songkran extends over a period of 3 days. Known the world-over for its characteristic tradition of water-throwing ranging from a courteous sprinkle or a polite splash, to harmless water pistols and showers from garden hoses to the well-aimed bucket or water-cannon delivered in a festive spirit. Without a doubt, on the practical side, Songkran is a refreshing solution to "beating the heat" in the hottest season of the year. There is a however a much deeper significance to "Songkran". Apart from marking a new beginning, Songkran is also a time for thanksgiving. It is an important time for individuals to reflect upon the many acts of kindness and thoughtfulness each has personally experienced and to remember how such acts of generosity and compassion bring peace, happiness and well-being. Songkran is also the time for reunions and family ties are renewed. At the heart of each Thai custom and tradition, there is always a logical reason for its existence. The festive elements of the celebration, the cultural values, the social code of conduct and individual belief and practices are intertwined. Songkran embodies the traditional Thai cultural values. The underlying significance of Songkran is the process of cleansing and purification тАФ the purging of all ills, misfortune and evil and starting the New Year afresh with all that is good and pure. Water is symbolic of the cleaning process and signifies purity.

It is an important time for individuals to reflect upon the many acts of kindness and thoughtfulness each has personally experienced and to remember how such acts of generosity and compassion bring peace, happiness and well-being. Songkran is also the time for reunions and family ties are renewed. At the heart of each Thai custom and tradition, there is always a logical reason for its existence. The festive elements of the celebration, the cultural values, the social code of conduct and individual belief and practices are intertwined. Songkran embodies the traditional Thai cultural values. The underlying significance of Songkran is the process of cleansing and purification тАФ the purging of all ills, misfortune and evil and starting the New Year afresh with all that is good and pure. Water is symbolic of the cleaning process and signifies purity.

to 22 April in different areas - SONGKRAN "Songkran" is a word from the Sanskrit language which means to "move into" and refers to the orbit of the sun moving into Aries. It marks the end of a 12-month cycle and the beginning of a new solar year. Songkran is therefore the Thai New Year celebrations. This traditional Thai custom of merry-making is the Kingdom's most 'sanuk' (fun-filled) festival, celebrated with tremendous enthusiasm, nation-wide, once a year. In most parts of the country, Songkran extends over a period of 3 days. Known the world-over for its characteristic tradition of water-throwing ranging from a courteous sprinkle or a polite splash, to harmless water pistols and showers from garden hoses to the well-aimed bucket or water-cannon delivered in a festive spirit.

Novice Ordination Baan Ta Klang Novice Ordination Procession On Elephant-Back At Wat Chaeng Sawang temple and the Ban Ta Klang Elephant Village and Study Centre, Tha Tum district, Surin Province Baan Ta Klang village in Surin province is home to the legendary Kui elephant herders who are descendants of an ancient tribespeople noted for their expertise in capturing, domesticating and training wild elephants in times past. It is also the largest elephant village in the Thai kingdom. The ancestors of the Kui (or Suay in Thai) are thought to have migrated from the Indian subcontinent to settle in an area near the Cambodian border that is today ThailandтАЩs northeastern provinces. These handlers have great respect for their elephants. The life-long relationship of the mahout with his elephant is an integral element of Kui culture, tradition and the way of life. The elephant is his companion and a family member. The Kui villagers of Baan Ta Klang continue to keep ancient tribal customs and traditions alive and have passed this knowledge on from generation to generation. Some of the fascinating aspects of ancient Kui culture can still be seen today such as in the practice of ancestor worship. This is reflected in the San Pa Kam propitiation ritual during which ancient Kui elders would pay homage to deities and ancestral guardian spirits and seek their spiritual guidance prior to leaving on a hunt. These rituals and ceremonies, including the wedding procession on elephant back, the mass ordination ceremony and the novice ordination procession on elephant back, are still being performed in accordance with ancient customs and traditions. The novice ordination procession on elephant back is part of a mass ordination ceremony. It is a widely held folk belief that by taking part in a mass ordination, one earns much merit. This merit can also be transferred to loved ones or other individuals we care about. Hence it is customary for sons to enter ordination in order to make merit for their parents. The Kui believe that in order to gain fame or be bestowed with much merit, male members of the family should take part in a mass ordination ceremony that involves at least 1,000 novices riding on elephant back over long distances. The Baan Ta Klang mass ordination ceremony and ordination procession on elephant back is typically held during the 13th тАУ 15th day of the waxing moon in the sixth month before the beginning of Buddhist Lent every year. This is considered to be an auspicious time because by staging the mass ordination immediately prior to the Buddhist Lent, this enables newly-ordained novices to practice dhamma during the rain retreat. It is believed that in this way, much merit will be earned by the individual for his family. The Buddhist Lent known as Khao Pansa coincides with the rainy season and is a time devoted to the study of Buddhist scriptures and the teachings of the Lord Buddha, and meditation. Buddhist monks remain within the temple grounds and do not venture out for a period of three months starting from the first day of the waning moon of the eighth lunar month (in July) to the fifteenth day of the waxing moon of the eleventh lunar month (in October). The annual Baan Ta Klang mass ordination procession features over 100 novices dressed in elaborate costumes consisting of a silk sarong and white top with a colourful ceremonial cloth wrapped around the shoulder. Each rides on the back of an elaborately-adorned elephant as the procession makes its way from the Ban Ta Klang Elephant Study Centre to Wang Talu, a site where the Chi River converges with the Mun River. The mass ordination ceremony is performed at Don Buat, an island in the middle of the river. These fascinating aspects of Kui culture form the basis for developing the ecotourism potential of Baan Ta Klang elephant village in the Tha Tum district (Amphoe Tha Tum) of Surin Province, home to over 1,000 domesticated elephants and the site of the world-famous elephant round-up.

TODAY'S EVENTS May 13, 2012

Royal Ploughing Ceremony The Royal Ploughing Ceremony is an ancient Brahminical rite dating back to the Sukhothai period (1257 - 1350 A.D.) The ceremony, which heralds the start of the new rice-growing season, was undertaken to assure a successful planting season and an abundance of the nation's crops. Festivities were held to boost the farmers' morale urging them to strive for an abundant harvest for consumption and to ensure sufficient reserves for times of war and for export overseas. The practice faded out towards the end of the reign of King Prajadhipok (Rama VII) but was later revived by His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej in 1960 (B.E. 2503). Since then, it has been observed annually. Today, the Royal Ploughing Ceremony consists of two ceremonies - a Cultivating Ceremony known as "Phraraj Pithi Peuj Mongkol" and the Ploughing Ceremony, "Phraraj Pithi Jarod Phranangkal Raek Na Kwan". Both royal ceremonies are state events with the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives assuming the role of the Lord of the Harvest or Phraya Raek Na, while four single female officials of the Ministry holding positions of second rank and above in the civil service undertake the role of the Celestial Maidens or Nang Thepi, assistants to the Lord of the Harvest.

TODAY'S EVENTS June 4, 2012

Visakabucha Day The holiest Buddhist holiday celebrates the birth, enlightenment and entry into nirvana of the Buddha. No alcohol, most bars closed

Visakha Puja Procession The Visakha Puja religious ceremony marks the birth, enlightenment, and death of Lord Buddha and is the holiest of all the auspicious Buddhist events. All over the country, Thais visit the temples to listen to sermons by revered monks and make merit. Shortly after sunset, candlelit circumambulations take place around major temples. While the ritual is observed at temples throughout the country, Visakha Puja which will be held at the Wat Phra Borommathat Doi Suthep hill-top temple presents an opportunity to witness more elaborate aspects of this ancient Buddhist tradition. Wat Phra Borommathat Doi Suthep was built in 1383 A.D., and is the home of a large golden pagoda which contains the holy relics of the Lord Buddha. Considered to be a sacred spot, devout Buddhist pilgrims from all over the world congregate annually to pay homage to the holy relics. A traditional Thai-style throne known as a "busbok". This is a pavilion-like wooden structure with a multi-tiered roof used for kings and objects of veneration. On Visakha Puja Day, lustral water blessed in a religious ceremony presided over by His Majesty the King and other sacred offerings are conveyed to the Wat Phra Borommathat Doi Suthep Temple in a procession. The items of worship are transported in a specially-constructed traditional Thai-style throne known as a "busbok". This is a pavilion-like wooden structure with a multi-tiered roof used only for kings and objects of veneration. On the eve of Visakha Puja Day, the procession departs from the Larn Kruba Srivijaya courtyard at 21.00 and makes it way along Srivijaya Road leading uphill to Wat Phra Borommathat Doi Suthep. The total journey takes approximately 9 hours in total. Although the procession is of religious significance, the awesome spectacle of the Lanna lanterns glowing in the dark along the route leading up Doi Suthep to the temple is a remarkable aspect of Thai and Lanna cultural traditions to witness. There are six stops en route.

classical music 6:00 pm an exquisite evening of classical music at 137 pillars house, Chiang Mai. celebrated hungarian tenor Xavier Rivadeneira accompanied by Jonas Dept.drinks and canapes 6 - 7pm / concert 7pm until 8.15pm Reception and concert 1800bht / reception concert and gala dinner 2400bht includes service charge and tax. for reservations or further info dosm@137pillarshouse.com

This very colourful and vibrant Phi Ta Khon procession is the central focus of the celebrations.

Tak Bat Dok Mai Festival Wat Phra Phutthabat Ratchaworamahawihan, Amphoe Phra Phutthabat, Saraburi The Tak Bat Dok Mai floral offering merit-making ritual is unique to Saraburi province. This ritual stands out from the merit-making activities conducted in the other parts of Thailand because in addition to the offerings of cooked rice, food, incense, candles and other conventional sacred items, the Tak Bat Dok Mai ritual includes offerings of Dok Khao Phansa flowers that only come into bloom during the Buddhist Lent, hence the origin of its name. Some villagers call the flower Dok Yung Thong (golden peacock) or Dok Hong Thong (golden swan flower).

Of these, the fields of pinkish-purple Siam Tulip, or "Dok Krachiao", come in to full bloom in the early part of the rainy season from June to August. Also commonly called 'patumma', 'bua sawan' (heaven lotus), or 'bua bok' (the land lotus), the Siam Tulip is a member of the ginger genera - Curcuma or Zingiberaceae. The unusual form, bright colour and long-lasting quality of the Siam Tulip has made it an increasingly popular choice for floral decorations.
