Even as a primarily Buddhist country, Thailand manages to celebrate Christmas with outdoor lighting displays and decorations, including Christmas Trees, Santa Hats and a plethora of presents… I guess the western influence and commercialism of Christmas is global.
So the ever popular last day of school Christmas party has lots and lots of food, fun and picture taking as the kids dress-up in red and white to greet and sing for Santa Clause as he makes his annual visit bringing candy for their class.
That night I had Christmas dinner with some Thai friends and we also enjoyed singing Christmas songs… before I headed off to a SILENT meditation retreat on the island of Ko Samui.
