The Prince of Phrae had his office in the center of the second floor. The room was painted pink because he was born on a Tuesday.

This is a collection of photos I took during the Kathin festival in Pua district, Nan province, Thailand on November 22-23, 2012. I went along with other teachers from our mathayom school in Bangkok. Most of the celebration took place on Saturday the 22nd on the grounds of a local temple. The evening was capped off with very impressive traditional dancing, music, and singing. It was a great time. The people in Nan province are very friendly and gracious, and the landscape is stunning. The song is สาละวัน...อย่าลืมสัญญา by Tai Oratai. Disclaimer: I don't own any rights to the song.
