A version of the festival I talked about in my entry "Light in the Darkness" is held 1 month later in Thailand, so I got to participate in it again! Pictured here are my friends Kalia and Nic from MCC's peacebuilding team.
We marchedthrough the streets in a festive parade with banners bearing the four pillars of "GNH": Good Governance, Sufficiency Economy, Sustainable Environment and Cultural Recovery.
In a village close to Nongkhai, villagers organized a feast for all three hundred of us, complete with music and dancing! This group blended traditional Thai instruments with drums, a violin and an electric guitar.
Conference banners guided us through the forest at this Theravada Buddhist temple compound in NongKhai, Thailand.
