The American School of Bangkok celebrated
the annual Thai New Year, the so-called
Songkran Festival on Thursday 4th April
2002 at the Bangna Campus and on Friday
5th April 2002 at the Sukhumvit Campus.
Some
teachers and students came in their beautiful
Thai traditional costumes.
The
Bangna campus had a traditional and religious
Buddha Bathing Rite ceremony followed
by a water ritual ceremony where students
poured water on their teachers' hands.
The teachers, in return, gave a little
blessing to them.
The
Sukhumvit Campus also had similar celebrations
in the morning, and towards the end of
the day, students and teachers gathered
on the playground for a water play. It
was a cool and wet occasion, yet a beautiful
and culture-filled event in the fond memories
of the ASB community.
