Thailand New Year Village Show

 

Songkran2012 300x191 Thai Silk Magic Country Music Show
 For 3 days in the middle of April the Thai people celebrate their New Year.

The typical greeting of Sawadee pee mai are heard everywhere – which in English means Happy New Year.

To help the celebrations Thai Silk Magic sponsored a Thai country music show to entertain our village guests who had come from all over Thailand.

The show was held in the grounds of our village school and we had more than 500 people come to eat, have fun and enjoy the show.

Songkran – 3 Days of Fun and Water Mayhem

This period is called Songkran and it’s also a huge 3 days water festival and fun. I hope you enjoy the little video below!

Thai country music is called “Mor Lum” and the songs are sung in an Isaan dialect  - - a combination of Thai, Laos and Khumer.

I know you didn’t understand a single word but at least now you have seen a typical Thai country music show.

Comments

What did you think of the music? What about the dancing? Not that good!

But we all had fun. Please leave us your thoughts below – we’d appreciate that.
