Giant straw puppets will be among the attractions at a week long festival in Phetchaburi.

 

On Tuesday (Dec 28), Phetchaburi Governor Mr. Nattawut Petchpromsorn announced the opening of the Khao Lam burning festival which is being held in Na Phan Sam in Mueang District until January 2, 2022.

 

The festival celebrates Phetchaburi’s newly harvested sticky rice, which is mixed with fresh coconut milk and grilled inside bamboo tubes to create the delicious snack, Khao Lam.

I think that festivals and gatherings should be something to have after this pandemic is over, but This Is Thailand, 

so why would gatherings be an issue, what could possible go wrong. COVID 19, Omicron or Delta, that is what.

When I saw the words “straw puppets” in the headline I thought it was an article about the government, or parliament.
