Thailand is full of unique and interesting ceremonies. Today was no different. In the main hall of the welcome center of QSBG this was no ordinary book giveaway. It was a golden filled palace like environment. Every detail seemed just perfect. Large photos of the King and Queen everywhere. Along with scores of folks in their finest military uniforms adorned with metals and stripes, there were also the local hill tribe people in their most colorful costumes. It was quite a sight. Then the announcer made his speech, which everyone understood but this foreigner. Then the books were handed out, diploma style like it was graduation at a university. I enjoy these ceremonies here in Thailand. They create importance and worth. And who doesn’t like a little showmanship every once in a while to spice up life a bit.
