Halloween In Chiang Mai

[prism]

One of our favorite time in the U.S.A. is Halloween. Dressing up wearing Freddy Kruger or Nixon masks and going to the costume parties. Are there any Halloween parties in CM this year? Parties for kids (I have two) or just for adults would be fine. Love to have a scary good time.

well since you asked....The Playhouse will offer a spooky evening of fun on Saturday-October 30 from 11 pm to ???. 300 baht entrance fee will get you in for a beer buffet (all you can drink draft). We will have dancing to a live band in Kinnaree Park and the stage bar will offer 100 baht Sangsom buckets and dicounts on all other drinks for those not into the beer buffet. There will be prizes for overall best costume, sexiest costume, scariest costume and funniest costume. Hope to se you all there!

Sounds like a cool party, I'll have to come and enjoy the beer special. I won't be wearing the sexiest costume tho.

Halloween is a great American festivity, now taken up by a lot of Europeans as well. It can be a lot of fun.

More tourists should start arriving by then.

I'm sure if places put on specials for Halloween, which included the kids and took the trouble to advertise it, they would do well.

I'm going as the Grinch.

Since you asked..The Playhouse is in Chang Pueak just up the street from the Mercure Hotel (formerly Novotel) and next to Top's Supermarket (formerly Rimping)...and sorry.....adults only this time!

I'm sure there will be other places to cater for the kids, but well done for this initiative, which sounds excellent and I hope you get a good turn out.

There is the festivity of Saint Maarten in The Netherlands, Flanders and parts of Germany. Children make their lampion from paper, pumpkin, sugarbeetroot and put a candle in it (more and more a light on batteries these days). They go along the houses, singing some songs and collect candy and fruit. It is a very old festivity, from the German tribe long before Christ was born. It was meant to bring a light when the days got shorter. The Christian missionary didn't like the tribe festivities, they were called heiden fests, pointed to falce gods. The missionary could not eliminate the tribe festivities so they devise a Christian variation. The legend of Saint Maarten is about a Hungarian who became s Roman officer. He became a knight and on a cold day he rode on his horse and tfound a beggar freezing, He cut his overcoat with his sword and shared it with the beggar. Also Christmas is a German tribe festivity.
