Phuket Heroine's Memorial Fair 2010
On the 13th of March there was the Heroine's Memorial Fair......... but i missed it - i had an excuse - it was my birthday.
Jamie Monk had this - The Heroine's Fair celebrates the famous battle of Thalang in 1785 when the people of Phuket forced out Burmese invaders thanks to the leadership of Chan and Mook, 2 local ladies who were later honored by the King and given the honorary titles Thao Thep Kasattri and Thai Sri Sunthorn. The fair has many food stalls, arts and crafts, performances and a spectacular theatrical performance featuring hundreds of participants recreating the history of the heroines and the battle.
6th Annual Hua Tong Boat Race
The 6th Annual 'Hua Tong Boat Race'. It was at Ao Por Pier in Pa Khlok. A number of dignitaries were there to watch it and Phuket TV do have some footage on it.
First place got 6,000 Baht. I could not find a photo, only a video (Phuket TV) - The photo is from a similar race in Krabi, it is not mine - www.pakasitour.com.
Traveling in Thailand - March 13th......

Makha Bucha Day
Makha Bucha day is an important day and I forgot all about it!!
It falls on the full mood day of the 3rd Lunar month - February?
This day is to venerate the Buddah and his teachings -
merit making and it was also a public holiday
Meeting people who are not all that they seem
Can you spot a LadyBoy?
My score was not 100% but I think that I would know if I met them in real life.
I always wonder when how many men make a mistake and
do you think that they do it on purpose?
Traffic problems in Phuket
We read about all the problems driving a car in Phuket - one way systems, changing the side of the road you drive on and the such like. Motorbikes are even worse and then a taxi - the debate goes on.
I have seen the way to solve it in Phuket Town (see above) - during the Chinese Festival!!
Phuket News ++: February 2010
Catch a pig and take it home? I did not find a lot about this practice.
Chang Beer supports the Patong Beach Party (February 13th) - i do not think that they will get as much press as Leo beer did with their calendar of pretty ladies. Photobucket have removed some pictures of the ladies (why only some?) so i say "Roll on YouTube" where you can see the girls on video.
Thaksin and GT 200 are the stories at the moment
The Government are going to smash out Piracy - this is a photograph which I have seen before and what happens?
Phuket Old Town Festival - fingers crossed I can get to this. I did - see my visit
Chalong Temple Fair - not sure I can make this one but Jamie did
More accidents in Phuket - don't think that i will get a motorbike
Ouch - a motorbike accident and the pilot loses his leg, the passerby speaks to his fiancee about the accident and then takes the phone - this is Phuket.

Valium - the kid thought that they were legal.
The Telephone number Patong Hospital has been wrong for 5 months - it rings but nobody answers.
The Plastic Bag scheme to charge the user 2 baht for a plastic bag (starting February the 14th) in Phuket is not supported by a major retailer 7-Eleven. Did the organisers not contact them before they printed the posters and the PR?
