The Thai are notourious for having numerious holidays. After all, why not celebrate? One of the most charming events is Children’s Day, an entire twenty-four hours spent spoiling the youth. The DEPDC commemorates the occasion with grand fervor: balloons are strung, music plays, crafts and games are set, and the party begins! I’ve been to my share of gatherings, but have never seen so many treats. There are hoardes of cookies, stockpiles of biscuits, bucket-loads of candy, and everywhere are glowing smiles. No child is without at least two desserts in both hands. There’s an ice cream truck giving away cones, next to beauticians giving free hair cuts. With a day like today, who needs Christmas? I feel a moment of sympathy for the kids raised in America. They have no idea what they’re missing.
