Sakon Nakhon Children Day

Thailand Children Day is an annual event which takes place on the second Saturday in January.
There are government ceremonies, special children events on military bases and neighborhood kids parties. 

Manager online (Thai script)  the subsidiary of ASTV has an article about the activities at the nearby military base, with a few pictures.

Some schools were in session for a student activity day, as in the video

A favorite Children Day memory is when I was asked to spend a few thousand Baht on snacks, fruit and drinks. We spent a few hours going through the children ward at the local government hospital.  Was a great feeling seeing all those sick kids smile.


Then of course there was the day in 2077, when I hung out with the older 'children' and their toys ♥
