Bangkok Halloween
The
halls of our condo have been filled with the excited sounds of children
tonight. With two buildings of 26-storeys each to cover, the pickings
are very good indeed. Our troop came back with five bags filled to the
brim. The stomach aches will inevitably follow.Most of the youngsters in our condo go to international schools, so they have a pretty idea of what Halloween offers. But we also have Thai kids coming from outside, largely children of people working here. They don't really understand what is going on, but they like it.
We have four youngsters from the Northeast of Thailand staying with us for a few days, all relatives of my wife, and, of course, they joined in the fun. Two of them are in the photo. This was their first Halloween and I imagine they'll want to be back again next year.
Halloween is also an young adult thing in Thailand and the nightclubs will shortly be filled with wildly dressed revellers. Since I'm not a young adult, I'll give that a pass.
