Khun Itthipol the Mayor of Pattaya took part in a traditional Songkran ceremony this week to mark the start of the Thailand New Year festivities here in Pattaya and across Thailand.
Along with other senior executives from Pattaya City Council he took the opportunity to seek out the elederly folks of Pattaya and sprinkle water on them.
Thailand celebrates Mother's day, Father's day and children's day so it is nice to see as an old fogey myself that they also have Elders Day. Children are urged on this day to take time and have a chat with their elders and share the blessings of life and life experiences.
