Enjoy the pictures below.
In my education section of the website, I have been quite critical about what I see as being the education system in Udon Thani and Thailand in general, and I stand by that until I see something substantial to make me have a re-think. However, the Thai education system is not quite as insular as I once imagined, and this week saw my daughters school host a celebration and learning day of the neighbouring countries, which includes Myanmar (Burma), Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, Vietnam and Indonesia, in short - south east Asia, The start of the day was quite predictable with a main local government official giving a speech and handing out a load of framed certificates, but I was not especially concerned with this aspect. My focus for the day, as usual was to capture the fantastic garments and colours of the day, something which the Thai's are very good at organising (There - I have said it!). I was well rewarded at the very start, as I clamped eyes on an instrument I had not seen before - Angklung, or at lease a variation, which originated in Indonesia. If you are wondering what it looks like, it is the instrument being played by the girls in the front row above. As I said above, my aim was to capture the colour and clothing, and as always the young girls were more than happy for a ferang to take a picture of them. Some of them are just waiting for it to happen! There was even one Thai lady who was nothing to do with the proceedings wanting to get some 'picture time' too. After the second time, I decided to talk to her, and it turned out she was on holiday from England for 4 months, while her husband was keeping life ticking over back home. Enjoy the pictures below. The difference between the Thai, Cambodian and Laos traditional dress is not always to identify, as they are remarkably similar. I was especially pleased with the capture of the Philippines garments, and to me is arguably the prettiest of all the south east Asian region. Just how much the children actually learn about the other countries on the day is quite debatable as most of them are more intent on playing around and talking to their friends, but I believe that during the previous week some of their class work involved getting to know a little about the outside world, or at least the rest of south east Asia.

It really interesting. I start to learn their culture. It's very different from our country and we are interested in it.
