It was fun to dress the kids up in Thai costumes for the event. Mommy probably had too much fun dressing them up. They looked great!!
A Traditional Thai meal for C-hot dog and fries.
A beauty contest! They call it Little Nop Pamas, for boys and girls. And, yes, C is eating popcorn while on stage. He would not part with it.
D dazzles the judges in the question portion of the the competition (What do you want for Christmas?)
C dazzles the judges by stomping on bugs on the stage while he awaits his turn at the microphone.
D and C with their gorgeous friends Elke and Ethan. All dressed up.
Fireworks over the lake.
Traditional Thai dancers and music.
Thai people create little floats made from bread or a piece of a banana tree trunk. They decorate the floats with flowers, incense, and a candle. Then they send it floating down the river (or in our case in the lake) sending with it all of their grudges, anger, and bad luck. The float is also an offering to the goddess of water and is supposed to bring good luck.
The kratongs on the water.
C waves good-bye to his kratong. He really liked it. He even asked to have it back this morning.
Book your trip to visit us next November for Loy Kratong! You will love it!
