hua hin, THAILAND
Among all the festivals and celebrations that occur every year in Thailand,
Father’s Day here is probably the one which shows the biggest outpouring
of emotion, and spawns the most events nationwide, because it is the day
that Thai’s celebrate not only their own Dads, but the father of Thailand,
His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej, who this year turns 88 years old.
Hua Hin, as the adopted permanent retreat of His Majesty, holds a special
place in the hearts of all Thais, and thousands will come to the town to
show their love and support for their monarch, in the hope that they can
get a glimpse of him on this special day.
The actual day this year is tomorrow, Saturday 5th December, and one
very special event planned in Hua Hin is the carving of a giant Buddha ice
sculpture; award winning ice sculptor Alongkorn Timcharoen, of Hua Hin,
said that he and six fellow ice artists would transform 99 blocks of ice into
the planned world’s tallest Buddha ice statue, at 599 cm. It will be sculpted
on open ground in front of Hua Hin railway station, between noon and
7pm, adding more colour to this year’s activities to celebrate His Majesty’s
birthday. There will be a candlelight ceremony at the same location that
night, among several other planned events there and around the town.
Roads will be busy anyway, as it is a long weekend with Monday a public
holiday due to Father’s Day falling on a weekend, but no doubt the roads
near the palace will be particularly busy, as it is the normal place people
will congregate on this special day.
AWOL would like to take this opportunity to wish a Happy Father’s Day to
all Dad’s out there, and special wishes to His Majesty the King as a father
to his children and his country, and a very happy birthday too.
