A first birthday is quite a celebration here in Thailand. About 80 people were here to help celebrate the occasion. These were relatives, friends and neighbors. Quite a joyful group of people.

I am not sure what this is really for but is quite a
work of art. It is made of banana leaves folded and
formed and put together some how. The strings on
it are for tieing on the families wrists for good luck,
health and whatever good wish they give you.

The sash is a symbol for something.
The clothes are traditional Thai clothes.
So much going on but he would rather have a box
to play with.
The center piece and all ready for the ceremony by
one of the village elders.

The family members each held on the string
for unity.
We each ate a hard boiled egg for new life
