Couples invited to participate in traditional wedding ceremony

PHUKET: -- Couples intending to ‘Thai’ the knot are invited by the Thai Peranakan Association and the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) to join a traditional ‘Baba Yaya’ wedding ceremony.

The June 19 ceremony in Phuket Town celebrates more than 200 years of local traditional weddings and is intended to promote the island as a wedding and honeymoon destination.

‘Baba’ and ‘Yaya’ are ancient terms for male and female respectively, used for the descendants of late 19th century Chinese immigrants to Phuket.

If the intention is to promote the island as a wedding and honeymoon destination then why not get the Ps That B to rescind the idiotic order preventing weddings from being held on the beaches?

Some poxy patch of grass amidst the pollution and noise of town is hardly a match for a nice corner of beach looking out over the Andaman.

Guess the LGBT fraternity/sorority posters will be up in arms over this attack on their hard fought for rights.
