Christmas in Thailand
One of the great things about Thai's is that they love to celebrate... everything! So that means in addition to their own holidays such as Loi Kathong (lantern festival), Songkran (traditional new years) and Fathers day (Kings Birthday) they also celebrate the Chinese New Year, Christmas, Halloween and our New Years to name a few. Yes thats right three New Year celebrations! How wonderful.
How to celebrate Christmas in Thailand
1. Get together with other Americans for a Christmas Party in a near by city
Serve up America foods including chips and guac, fried chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, veggies, cheese, crackers and ice cream. Oh and beer, lots of beer.
2. Teach a Christmas lesson to help the students get in the spirit
"For Christmas I would like a iPhone 6 plus and candy"
3. Receive a Charlie Brown Christmas Tree in the mail and put it on your desk
