Trip to Nakhon Si Thammarat for Makha Bucha

[Richard Barrow]

I am presently in Nakhon Si Thammarat for a 4 day Media trip with the TAT. They flew us down here to see the Hae Pha Khuen That Festival which takes place each year on the full moon during February. It is an impressive parade where people carry long pieces of cloth called Phra Bot to wrap around the chedi of Wat Phra Mahathat Woramahawihan. I have just posted my first report over at www.thai-blogs.com

I have also posted a photo album over on Facebook:

I have more reports to write, but in the meantime you can see some of the photo albums of this trip that I have already uploaded onto my Facebook page: wwww.facebook.com/richardthailand

Today we toured the City Museum which was really good and also went to see the Shadow Puppet Museum. Tomorrow we are going kayaking. Hopefully we will get a chance to see some pink dolphins.
