hua hin, THAILAND Among all the festivals and celebrations that occur every year in Thailand, Father’s Day here is probably the one which shows the biggest outpouring of emotion, and spawns the most events nationwide, because it is the day that Thai’s celebrate not only their own Dads, but the father of Thailand, His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej, who this year turns 88 years old. Hua Hin, as the adopted permanent retreat of His Majesty, holds a special place in the hearts of all Thais, and thousands will come to the town to show their love and support for their monarch, in the hope that they can get a glimpse of him on this special day. The actual day this year is tomorrow, Saturday 5th December, and one very special event planned in Hua Hin is the carving of a giant Buddha ice sculpture; award winning ice sculptor Alongkorn Timcharoen, of Hua Hin, said that he and six fellow ice artists would transform 99 blocks of ice into the planned world’s tallest Buddha ice statue, at 599 cm. It will be sculpted on open ground in front of Hua Hin railway station, between noon and 7pm, adding more colour to this year’s activities to celebrate His Majesty’s birthday. There will be a candlelight ceremony at the same location that night, among several other planned events there and around the town. Roads will be busy anyway, as it is a long weekend with Monday a public holiday due to Father’s Day falling on a weekend, but no doubt the roads near the palace will be particularly busy, as it is the normal place people will congregate on this special day. AWOL would like to take this opportunity to wish a Happy Father’s Day to all Dad’s out there, and special wishes to His Majesty the King as a father to his children and his country, and a very happy birthday too.
