Newborns and medical staff all dressed up for Songkran

Medical staff members at a private hospital in Bangkok on Tuesday went the extra mile to wear period attire and dress up newborn babies in fetching Thai traditional outfits ahead of the Songkran Festival, which begins on Friday.

 

Employees at the Paolo Memorial Hospital Chokchai 4 are known to have dressed babies in costumes to celebrate various previous holidays, and to have handed out framed photos as souvenirs to congratulate families welcoming their newborns into the world.

 

The Songkran Festival is well-known for citizens dressing in traditional Thai clothing to celebrate the Thai traditional New Year with family and friends. 

 

But this trend has been boosted even further this year by the popular televised romantic comedy “Buppaesannivas”, which is set in the Ayutthaya era.

...when you thought it can't possibly get worse. Welcome to "Moronia".

Seriously...

 

"Employees at the Paolo Memorial Hospital Chokchai 4 are known to have dressed babies in costumes to celebrate various previous holidays, and to have handed out framed photos as souvenirs to congratulate families welcoming their newborns into the world."

 

If any of those babies were mine, the "Employees" would be in for a nice talk with a very irritated father!

What is the big deal here?

Newborns dressed in slightly different, more colourful attire.

 

As far as I can tell no one died and there are no reports of injury to any

of the babies involved.

 

Relax, it is just a bit of fun.

Babies...of other people...dressed up!

Not dolls!

Babies!

I don't see any suggestion that the parents didn't consent and they may possibly have

received framed photos of their newborns to remember the occasion, although that

part of the story isn't clear.

 

It is still a bit of an odd topic to get in a tizz over.
