Travel to Bangkok during the Songkran festival, usually in mid-April, and then spend time exploring the lesser-known parts of the city by canal boat and one will have a completely different and refreshing look at one of South East Asia’s largest cities.  One of the high spots of the Thai calendar is the annual New Year or Songkran celebration, a national holiday that lasts for three days and falls on or around 13th April when the sun moves into Aries. The word Songkran originates from Sanskrit and means ‘beginning of the solar year’. The holiday-loving Thais, therefore, get to celebrate New Year three times each year—the Western New Year on 1st January, the Chinese New Year in February and the Thai New Year in April. Before Thailand adopted the Roman calendar in 1940, Songkran was calculated on the basis of solar calendar which varied from one year to the next. Now, the Songkran days in Bangkok are fixed and are from 13th to 15th April of every year.  Having fun is a big part of Thai culture, and having fun amidst the scorching heat of April is no exception. The hottest month of the year sees the entire country go crazy in friendly water-fights and street parties that last nearly a week. During the Songkran festival, most office buildings, banks as well as family-run shops and restaurants shut down completely, although shopping malls usually remain open. Thai street food, always delicious, becomes an even more attractive option during this time since most restaurants are closed. Songkran is also Thailand’s major festival for family reunions, temple visits and annual house-cleaning. Many Thais utilise the holidays for spending time with families and friends. Traditionally, Thais perform the ‘Rod Nam Dum Hua’ ritual on the first day of Songkran which is officially the National Elderly Day.

Land Destroyer: Corporate-funded "People's" Movement

Progress is not only an attractive motivation for political participation, it is a responsibility for those who wish to leave future generations with something more than what they have now. However, danger arises when progress is pursued politically rather than pragmatically, where people, not solutions are hoisted to the pinnacle of our attention and efforts. This is precisely the case unfolding in Thailand, where a man, Thaksin Shinawatra, his party, and his agenda have taken to the driver's seat of a contrived social movement called the "red shirts" and ultimately threaten the destiny of the very people committed to this hoax. Additionally the US Department of Justice's Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) database discloses Thaksin's registration under Daniel Edelman of the Edelman PR firm. These organizations and the men behind them are the very war mongers, war profiteers, and soulless corporate entities many progressive activists are fighting against and for good reason. James Baker and the entire Bush cadre are responsible for relentless and unending war for the better part of two decades. Barbour Griffith & Rogers, and more specifically Robert Blackwill, serves as a corporate proxy commandeering legitimate causes such as environmentalism, and via organizations like Harvard's Belfer Center , pervert them into yet another corporate-financier pyramid scheme . So then it is alarming when these nefarious agents of the global corporate-financier elite have now aligned against yet another nation, Thailand. More alarming is how the progressive activists committed to Thaksin and his political party, are seemingly so profoundly ignorant of the nature of the movement they are helping to propel along and the fact that they are indeed handing the corporate elite yet another nation to despoil. Thaksin's "Truth Today" talk show logo emblazes many of the shirts worn by the "red shirt" movement. The logo features the images of Thaksin's long time political associates, Weera Musikapong, Jatuporn Prompan and Nattawut Sai-kua. Those that attempt to claim the "red shirts" are grassroots fail to explain why these three men are definitively the movement's leadership. While activists may attempt to portray the "red shirt" movement as a grassroots organization removed from Thaksin, his political lieutenants lead every rally, his image is imposed "Kim-Jong Ill-style" on rally stages, and now even in front of " red villages .
