Now in its 13th year, Trang’s underwater wedding ceremony,
13 to 14 February, must be one of the most unusual ways
to tie the knot. This unique event is right at the top
in the creative wedding category and has defied critics
over the years to emerge as a firm favorite for those
who want to make their Valentine day wedding extraordinary. |
|
In 2000, it was declared
the largest underwater wedding ceremony by the Guinness Book
of Records, while more recently it opened the ceremony to physically
challenged couples.
Its rise in popularity was not without
obstacles, starting with the obvious objection that not everyone
has the ability, or the desire, to stand on a sandy sea bed
and utter their vows. |

If you are obsessed with beautiful flowers and decorative
plants, this is the festival for you. Experience these
beautiful flower-decorated floats and a magnificent
tapestry of floral splendor that blankets the
land. There are also agricultural exhibitions, floral
contents, and product sales by local groups of housewives. |
|
|
A highlight of the festival is the grand parade that attracts
sponsoring companies and organizations that beautify floats
with elaborate flower decorations, presenting an eco-tourism
message or just simply stealing the hearts of
spectators with their vivid colors and beauty. The parade leads
up to the annual beauty competition to crown the city’s flower
queen, who represents the flower growers and exporters as an
ambassador of good will. Entertainment, an opportunity to dine
on tasty northern snacks and view cultural performances are
clearly features that draw both visitors and locals to this
annual event. |

Pattaya |

Since the first Harley Davidson rolled into Pattaya
in the 50s, this east coast resort town has always been
a favourite spot to park a bike and break out a six
pack of beer. Today’s bikers are a far cry from rear-guard
Hells Angels riding off into the sunset in a Hollywood
movie. Southeast Asia’s vast community of bikers are
more likely to be handing out balloons and gifts at
a children’s hospital than burning up tarmac in search
of a rumble with authorities. |
|
|
Pattaya’s efforts to shed a 60s nightlife image and transform
itself into a family and fun destination are energized by special
events particularly if they are related to sports and entertainment.
A Bikers’ reunion is one of them scheduled, 13 to 14 February.
It fits the bill drawing a record turn-out of enthusiasts from
Thailand and neighbouring countries. |
