Three embassies have joined the Songkran fun by producing lively, colourful video clips to wish Thais a happy New Year. 

 

The clips, produced by the Chinese, German and US embassies, depict members of staff in bright costumes performing traditional Thai dance, spraying each other with water or generally enjoying themselves. 

 

Chinese Ambassador to Thailand Lyu Jian is seen saying “we wish you all prosperity and a happy Songkran Day” in Thai.

 

 

 

 

The German Ambassador Georg Schmidt is seen making his way down embassy grounds on a scooter, armed with a water gun.

 

 

The clip from the US embassy shows members of staff, both Thai and American, performing the rum wong, or Thai traditional dance, to the beat of traditional drums.

 

 

These “Happy Songkran” video clips have been posted on each embassy’s social-media network, including Facebook and Twitter.

Good to see that they have plenty of time to make videos, although apparently none to answer emails or respond to requests to citizens' services.

Unfortunately, there is no US Ambassador to be seen.

Because there has been no appointment as yet since Davie's departure in September 2018.

At least they're saving money on something.
