Colours of Thailand: Purple

Graduation day at Chiang Mai University (CMU). Purple is the colour associated with CMU and these little graduation teddy bears were proving to be a popular purchase at 150 Baht.

1SongkranParade
Songkran New Year festival is associated with water as Thais welcome in the traditional New Year, but it’s also a time for merit-making and street parades. These elegantly dressed ladies with the purple parasols are taking part in the annual parade in Chiang Mai.
