Description
Speaking about the New year, we immediately imagine a lot of snow, Christmas trees, sleds, the creaking frost... Well, what about those countries where there are no such gifts from nature, where there is no winter? Year-round –summer! Is there not celebrate New year?! Yes, of course, celebrate!!! I invite You to celebrate the New year in one of the most exotic and hottest countries in the world – Thailand! There New year is celebrated three times a year! First time accepted 31 December, the second time – according to the Chinese calendar and the third time the national New Year "Songkran". Impossible to accurately determine the taste of Thai food, he and sharp and sweet, sour, salty, and bitter at the same time. This mix of the five flavours is a real art and magic of Thai cuisine. I would like to offer holiday and new year's supply of rice in pineapple with shrimp. For the first time this dish I tasted in Thailand, just on their national New year "Songkran". For the contest "new year tastes of the planet."

Do not think that only we in Russia celebrate the New year twice. In Thailand on the occasion of New year arrange a festival ... THREE times!!! In addition to the conventional 31 Dec and Chinese New year according to the lunar calendar, Thais have their national New year "Songkran" is celebrated on April 13. Even despite the fact that the year number is replaced in the night from 31 December to 1 January, 13 April, Songkran remains the official new year's holiday on this day. In the recent past, the government even added two extra days off for the holidays so that people could go to the far provinces to their relatives and to celebrate Songkran with the whole family. Literally, "Songkran" means moving from one place to another or the rotation of the Earth around the Sun. Full circle circumvented around the sun, marks the coming of the new year. For the New year (13 April) in Thailand decided to go to the temple, where monks are presented gourmet meals, fresh fruit, new robes as a sign of honouring their role in Buddhist philosophy. Each visitor must bring a handful of sand in exchange for the land which was taken with the temple grounds on their shoes. Houses hold the bathing ceremony of the Buddha statue watered with rose petals and Jasmine each member of the family. The eldest in the family is respect – on their hands and poured water. On the streets people can tie You wrists the particular laces on happiness. On each hand should be 25-30 cords from different people who are made to wear until they won't slip or tear. Another old custom is associated with the smearing with clay. Clay paste symbolizes protection from evil spirits, and smear it on the face and neck. According to custom, to wash it it is impossible – it is necessary to wait while itself will be erased.

Before people walked the streets with a small Cup in his hands and sprinkled a few drops of each counter. Now happening on the streets of the real water madness. The youth set up on the machine barrels with water and watering from the hose. In the course are water pistols, bottles, cans, cups, some owners of elephants go with them and use the trunk as a big hose. Water is sometimes mixed with powder or scented talcum powder. No one will be offended if You're going to blast him from head to toe. Everyone tries to show their skills and spend a fun time to remember with a smile about it all year. Spectacle lasts a day, but in order to be able to enjoy it in different cities, date of celebration varies from 11 to 20 April. If You decide to join the crowd celebrating the Thais, to be dressed in things that do not mind then throw away, leave the documents in the room, and wallet, cell phone to wrap. With digital technology (if it is without the waterproof case) on the street is better not to go. Is the game not shameful to scream and Dodge. But, if you are approached by Thai and politely poured your back and shoulders, then he wished you happiness. Thank him and smile, because on such a hot day, the water really is grace. One of the main products in Thailand is rice, and side dish and a main dish, it is served for dessert. Food for a simple Thai Khao means, i.e., Fig. All the rest - vegetables, fish, meat - Thai called "KAP Khao", which means "eating rice". In the old days, greeting each other, they said, "have You eaten rice today?" Thais like spicy food don't drink water, just seize a handful of rice. Three-quarters of Thai food without rice lose its taste and meaning.
