Think of the festivals in Chiang
Mai, I’m sure that Songkran Festival and Loy Krathong Festival are the two
famous festivals that everyone think of first. Especially, the celebrations of
these two festivals in Chiang Mai have become more and more famous each year.
So, I can’t stand talking about them, and also would like to invite the
tourists to enjoy Songkran Festival and Loy Krathong festival in Chiang Mai.
For Songkran Festival (13-15 April),
the people like to celebrate this festival at the moat which is a popular place
and a center of tourists and especially it is a symbolic place of this festival
because if we think of Songkarn Festival in Chiang Mai, we will think of the
image of people enjoying water throwing at the moat, it’s a wet one! I like to
get wet with my friends here too! And also you can enjoy this festival with
many traditional events include merit-making at the temples, cultural shows,
dancing shows, parade and a beauty contest (เทพีสงกรานต์)
which can attract a lot of people. Besides, there is also one significant event
which is a sacred event and very famous in Chiang Mai that is the procession of
highly revered Phra Phuttha Sihing Buddha image through the streets of Chiang
Mai for people to sprinkle water that is a form of worship of Lanna people.
Another famous festival is Loy
Krathong Festival which held on the full moon night of November. I think this
festival is also said to be the most charming of all in
Besides, you can enjoy spending time
with many other festivals in Chiang Mai such as Flower festival , Bo Sang
Umbrella Festival and Chiang
Welcome to Chiang Mai jao!!!
We stood in front the class. Our
classmates were laughing at us but our role play was not supposed to be funny.
Now Alooh was refusing to speak but I knew the show must go on. I stared at him
and tried to signal to him to keep going. Finally, with his strange accent, he
said his lines. Somehow we got through the role play but our place as outsiders
in the class was clear.
I am not a minority but Alooh is. He
rarely has friends. Many students stay away from him when they knew that he is
from a hill tribe. “Speaking Thai with H’mong accent, they don’t admire me”,
Alooh said. He was not accepted. As in this English class, because of different
background from the other students, Alooh and I were considered as minority.
The other students are all English major but we are not. They judged us as less
fluent in English. They didn’t want to work with us. They often laughed at us
when we presented in class. We were nervous and unhappy to study in this class.
I got a sense of unacceptability in society. I began to understand how Alooh
feels with being minority and what he had to face with discrimination everyday.
There is the discrimination in society where many people
from different backgrounds live together. Additionally, the distinction or the
differentiation results in unfair treatment of people that are considered as
minority and are separated from the others in society. Moreover, some minority
groups who are low-educated or come from non-developed environment are also
looked down on. In the Thai social system, the hill tribe people are always
considered as non-educated or non-civilized people. So this is another reason
that Alooh was not accepted in this class.
However, Alooh still shows who he is despite discrimination.
He is brave to break barriers by taking chances to connect with others. To
overcome the discrimination in this class, Alooh and I built friendships with
the others. We started to talk more with them. When we had to work with other
students in class, we paid our full attention to prove our abilities. In
particularly, we got good points in each test, so they gradually accepted us
and talked more with us.
Ultimately, we opened our minds to understand and have more interaction with each other. We studied, had fun and enjoyed each other in class. Alooh and I did not face the discrimination and especially our feeling as minority in this class was over. We become more accepted. Although it is difficult to get rid of the discrimination, our case is an example for people to overcome the inequality in society.
He pushed strongly her body through
the door of their room, pressed her body down on the floor and slapped her face
with his big hands many times. She screamed and tried to fight him back while
many people in this apartment and I were looking at them. A couple of student
in uniform still continued their quarrel without ashamedness, he scolded her
and she also haggle him non stop. And three minutes later, they stood quietly
and stared their face each other. They cried. A young man embraced his
girlfriend to walk back in their room among stunning people there.
Many times, I heard a fighting sound
next to my room and saw my friends, a couple of student who lived together in
my apartment, had a quarrel in the night. This couple of lover was studying in
the fourth year in the same faculty with me at my university. Despite their
student status, they decided to cohabit to test the sincerity and durability of
their love before marriage, that was a reason they gave me when I asked why
they chose to live together. Also, they told me if they could get along well
living in the same apartment, they would be able to get along with each other
after marriage. However, I thought that cohabitation was unsuitable doing for
the young people who had a duty for studying. It was not good image to behave
like this in the teenage.
Living together before marriage is
more and more common in the society nowadays. This looks like the fashion of
the new generations who have love in studying age. Not only the couple of my
friends that cohabit in the same apartment, but many couples of student also
share room to live together. It is the test, they feel, of the compatibility
factor. They believe that it is the sense of being bound that will helps love
to become stabilized. For my friends who are cohabiters believe that it is a
way to spend less time in discovering each other for personal behavior and that
trying out the relationship will improve love to have a better and stronger
marriage later. However, I think that most of them look only on the deep
feeling for holding a couple life but they forget to think whether cohabitation
is suitable for their student status or whether it is a moral way in the real
life.
For me, living together before
marriage is not good preparation for marriage. The couples who chose moving in
before making a marriage commitment had significantly lower marital
satisfaction than those who did not. Also, I feel that living together is an
artificial situation that usually collapses when one partner walks out.
Besides, in Thai society, most people did not accept currently this
cohabitation because it still conflicts seriously with the old Thai tradition.
Therefore, I think this fashion should be unacceptable. Especially in the case
of the couples who have children, nobody wants the rise of abortion which is a
crime and the stress on social structures.
In conclusion, I think that the
young people who choose living together before marriage are people who have not
learned to practice delayed gratification. In fact, they just want the benefits
of a solid relationship before investing the time and effort to build a solid
relationship. Moreover, having sex too soon and moving in without commitment
are the behaviors of immature. Therefore, if we continue to hold this fashion,
not only it destroys our beautiful tradition but also it provides the wicked
social value for the next generations.
