Election may be held Nov 25

EC chairman: Election may be held Nov 25

BANGKOK, June 20 (TNA) - Thailand moved closer Wednesday to having a general election in November instead of the earlier announced December dates, a move that would help ease the country's political tensions. Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont discussed the upcoming election timetable with the Constitution Drafting Assembly (CDA) and the chairman of the Election Commission (EC) Wednesday, when it was agreed that Thailand's general election could be moved forward to November 25.

Gen. Surayud had said earlier that the general election must be held either December 16 or 23.Senior officers of the CDA including chairman Noranit Sethabutr and first deputy chairman Seri Suwannapanont, and EC chairman Apichart Sukhagganond discussed election and constitutional referendum considerations with Gen. Surayud for half an hour to fix the dates for both the national referendum on the draft constitution and for the general election.Gen. Surayud told journalists after the meeting that there is the possibility that the date for holding the general election could be moved forward by holding the public referendum on the draft constitution at an earlier date.

One of the most important conditions is that whether the CDA members would approve the draft charter.
The government, however, wants to hold the general election transparently, in a manner agreed by both the EC and the CDA, Gen. Surayud said.EC chairman Apichart said if public referendum on the draft charter could be held August 19, general election could be held on November 25 at the earliest.Accordingly, the EC has tentatively set this date for holding the election on the condition that new political parties could be established within 30 days, he said.

My Special day in Thailand

Thailand has lots of festivals. My favorite is Loy Krathong day that is one of the most popular festivals of Thailand. Thai people celebrate annually on the full-moon day of the twelfth lunar month. It takes place at a time when the weather is fine as the rainy season is over, and there is a high water level all over the country. In ancient times, Thailand was an agricultural country which had to use water to do agriculture. Thai people believe water is very important for them. So everyone has to respect the Goddess of water, that is the reason to have this festival.

Loy is a verb that means to float and Krathong, is a lotus-shaped vessel, make from banana tree, cut in a thin cylindrical shape, and banana leaves. Each Krathong usually contains a candle, three joss- sticks, some flowers and coins. In fact, people offer thanks to the Goddess of the water that call as " Pra Mae Kong Ka ". The festival starts in the evening when there is a full moon in the sky. Everone carries their Krathongs to the nearby canals, rivers or even small ponds. In the moonlight, people light candles and joss- sticks, make a wish and launch their Krathongs. People let their Krathongs drift away till they go out of sight.

It is believed that the Krathongs carry away sins and bad luck. It is the time to be joyful and happy as the sufferings are floated away and if you go with your boyfriend or girlfriend and launch your Krathongs, and both of your Krathong float in parallel way, it means you both are soul mate, (hahahahahaha!!!) that is reason that I like Loy Krathong day. I think one day I will meet my soul mate in Loy Krathong day. (^-^)
