The students and teachers are now back after the long holiday weekend for Khao Phansa. This festival marks the start of the Buddhist Rains Retreat that lasts for three months until 23rd October. Many students took the opportunity to go to other provinces with their parents. Others stayed here in Samut Prakan where there were many parades and activities for Khao Phansa. All of these pictures were taken here over the last four days. The next long holiday weekend is for the Queen's Birthday 12th-15th August 2010.
