PM soaks up Songkran
atmosphere in Chiang Mai
Even Prime
Minister Thaksin Shinawatra got into the fun during this year’s Songkran
madness in Chiang Mai. PM Thaksin was out in the middle of it all with his
daughter Pimparnthong “Ung Ing” Shinawatra and eight of her closest friends
from Bangkok. They cruised through town in a six-wheel pickup, enjoying this
year’s Grand Lanna Civilization Songkran Festival. For more photos and details
about how the rest of Chiang Mai celebrated Songkran, Sawadee Pee Mai from all
of us at Chiangmai Mail! (Photo by Saksit Meesubkwang) |

The magical Easter Bunny and the Easter Egg Hunt Even if rabbits don’t lay eggs!
What a relief! Despite bird flu, water shortage and many Songkran activities, the Easter bunny found his way to the Chiang Mai kids. |

Heartfelt thanks from the C.M.S.A. to the organizers and visitors of the Chiang Mai Sixes Is it really only one week since I wrote that the Sixes
were starting - it feels like one month! I have watched, listened and spoke
about cricket every day. I cried when the Sawasdee Cricket medals and
T-shirts were given out (even the small size was too big for some of the
players!) and I laughed at the antics of some of the visitors at the Pig
Picking Night.
I felt an overwhelming pride as I watched the Under 13
Squad walk onto the ‘big’ wicket, all dressed in their whites, with
their heads held high, and I jumped up and down when guests appeared on the
C.M.S.C.A. stand to give us donations. |
