Sitsiam Camp News/Blog
Thai Festival of Loy Krathong
9th November:
It is always an honour and a privilege for the Sitsiam Camp/Buddhai Swan to perform our shows of the Thai Martial Arts for the Thai community.
Our latest show was performed at Wat Sriratanaram Thai Temple in Bolton, England.
As always, the show was very well received by the audience and many of the spectators came to talk to show their appreciation to the team for keeping the Thai Martial Arts alive. Some of the comments were quite sad, with people saying that many Thai children in Thailand today do not know about the Thai Martial Arts and the importance of these to the Thai Nation.
After the show Arjarn Maha Paganon the temple’s head Monk spoke to the team and enquired about Buddhai Swan, Si Ayutthaya, Thailand. I told Arjarn about the current plight of Buddhai Swan. The school had suffered badly from the severe flooding in Thailand over the past two months.
Arjarn Maha Paganon, on behalf of Wat Sriratanaram, gave the team a generous donation to pass on to Buddhai Swan to help with repairs and everyday needs.
Arjarn Paganon also generously gave donations to each member of our team for their participation in the show and for our help in preserving the Thai Martial Arts. Every Sitsiam Camp team member passed on these donations to accompany those of Arjarn’s to be sent to Buddhai Swan, Thailand.
