Ladies in masks

The Thai traditional masked dance called Khon takes centre stage this Sunday at part of the Thailand Tourism Festival 2014 at Challenger, Muang Thong Thani.

It’s being performed by a troupe of all female dancers with the music provided by a symphony orchestra. The show gets underway at 12.30pm and will continue for three hours. Thailand Tourism Festival 2014, the country’s biggest tourism fair, begins today and offers visitors a range of special promotions and cultural shows,
 
Walking on the wild side
Siam Tulips, the wild flower also known as dok krajiao, will soon be in full bloom at Sai Thong and Pa Hin Ngam National Parks in Chaiyaphum province. Both parks share a reputation for producing endless fields of Siam tulips from middle of June to late August. Fresh mornings, clear skies and lots of opportunities for easy strolls make both parks ideal for walking holiday. You’re advised to avoid Pa Hin Ngam National Park on the weekend as that’s when the tourists flock there.
 
A river runs through it
With the arrival of the rainy season, Kaeng Hin Phoeng Rapids in Prachin Buri is once again open for rafting. River-runners can get their adrenaline fixes as they navigate their way through Kaeng Ngoo Hao (Cobra rapids) and Kaeng Look Suea (Tiger Cub rapids). During the season, which runs from mid of June to October, weekenders will find plenty of other recreational activities as well as booths selling local products and various competitions.
