‘Tis the Festive Season!
|
Welcome to the magic kingdom of Thailand, and Happy Holidays from all of us at SPICE! to all of you beautiful guys and glamorous queens! The most important royal holiday this season is the King’s birthday on December 5th. HRH gives an influential address; and food festivals, dances, songs, speeches, and candle-vigils honor him.
To close the year out, the Thais, although almost exclusively Buddhist,
mark Christmas the western way by putting up decorations, wearing Santa
Claus hats, going on shopping sprees, and throwing parties.Some
of the best hotels in the world are in Bangkok and each is planning
great festivities over the holidays. Each puts on sumptuous (and
affordable) buffets, dreams up fabulous menus in their myriad
restaurants, and brings in hot entertainers. Since you are here at the
most festive time of the year, celebrate with your favorite Spicy Guy
and have a ball! Here are just some of the choices:
•The Bangkok Marriott Resort and Spa may be the only true resort in the middle of
any city of the world. Take one of their boats from Sapin Taksin BTS station and you’ll enter another world on the Chao Phraya River. The place is all decked out for the holidays and you will love it! Telephone: 02-476-0022.
