Rose Garden-Thai Cultural Village
Rose Garden.it's more like a Thai Cultural Village than a rose garden.there's more orchids than roses there.basically over here wasn't that fun fun compared to Floating Market.though sitting on an elephant was fun.yeap..i sat on an elephant.i even say elephant dunk on the floor.i wanted to take a photo of the elephant dunk but too bad my camera wasn't wif me when i sat on the elephant.
before the cultural show started,there was an elephant show.OMG...the elphants were so cute.especially the small one.one of the acts was to walk over to guys.the way the small elephant walk over is sooo cute.the legs were like computerised already.when the front leg goes up,the back legs also goes up.it's just so cute.the other larger elephant can even pick up a coin with its trunk.my favourite part of the show was the dancing part.the smaller elephant was dancing with a hula hoop with one leg up,shaking while the bigger one just lift up one leg and shake.they were so cute.
time for the cultural show.first up,takraw act.it wasn't really that nice.i was expecting him to kick the ball but instead he just balance it all on his body.
most of the acts were pretty boring.the only exciting ones were the Thai boxing,the Bamboo dance and the sword fighting.the Thai boxing was hilarious.they acted as though they were really in a competition.just like normal boxing,when it's time for the break,their coach will give them some pointers,they'll drink some water and their assistand will massage them sometimes.thai boxing's the same.the way the assistant was massaging him it's like trying to break his neck.that was so funny.the only thing different about thai boxing compared to the normal boxing is that Thai boxing can use any parts of your body like your elbow and legs.at the end of the Thai boxing act,the two boxers punched the referee.all the audience laughed at that part.
Bamboo dance was the best.well i don't really know how to explain it so i just put the pictures.
the rest were boring.can't really remember all of it because i didn't really pay attention.all i know there's something about the wedding tradition,harvest dance when the rain comes,the Nagee Saran Dance performed to the Water Spirits and many more.
Flag Dance as the finale.
