Another day in Paradize

I had received an invitation to an event at a local school (S-BAC).
The best translation of the event I received was 'New Student Introduction Day.'
You might better understand it simply as Open House Day. A few dozen parents participated.
Buddhist religious ceremonies generally start the day of activities.

The opening ceremonies conclude with traditional thai dancing by students.

I am supposed to sit on the stage with the dignitaries and teachers. I can't sit still that long. I always politely decline, pointing at my camera. My excuse, I want to take pictures.

The guest speaker apparently had his audience's full attention. Students were laughing, answering questions, or even blurting out comments. It wasn't just a speech, rather almost a community discussion at times. Even though I have no idea what was said, the presentation was just superior.

Students present teachers and dignitaries with local flower arrangements.

Quite a few awards were handed out to students with perfect attendance records. I also departed with a number of gifts which I always cherish.

A perfect day concluded later in the evening watching a Bee Gees concert on local Sakon Nakhon TV (STV)

For a good laugh visit
