Now, even though Father's Day sounds like what happens in England, this day is reserved specially for the King. Thailand doesn't seem to have a Father's Day like the one in the western side of the world.
Everything happened in the evening so during the day we did the usual of going out and about. We had to be ready for 5pm but as we were out we got back late. We were expecting Yok Soyai and Jing to be there on time to hold the van for us that was going to take us there but they were late themselves for no reason what so ever so we ended up missing it. In the end we managed to get there with P-Art who was kind enough to pick us up even though Clem and myself were perfectly fine walking but Thai people don't like to walk anywhere so we had to get a lift.
We were dropped off at the field and joined our school and waited for it to begin. Whilst waiting, all the different schools were giving tributes and gifts to the king. Afterwards, there was about 20 minutes of straight Traditional dancing on stage, followed by some amazing Thai fireworks which yet again were huge! Afterwards we just went back home. It was a nice celebration but the Bangkok celebration was even bigger as it involved soldiers and one of the Princes. It was a nice way to spend the evening .
