การเต้นรำแบบดั้งเดิมของไทย - Thai Traditional Dance

A few weeks ago Tang told us that there would be Thai traditional dancing at the Buddhist temple so three of us decided to go and watch. We didn't expect much with Phichit being so small but we were blown away! It was a traveling dance school who was doing the performance and it was beautiful! Right when we got there we stood out like sore thumb.. nothing new right? For the people in Phichit... yes. For the announcers that worked in the show.. not so much.

Before we knew it the spotlight was on us and the announcer (in the red) was right next

to us with a microphone... maybe expecting us to speak Thai, we still aren't sure.

This picture was taken by one of our student's fathers who speaks English

and we stumbled upon the picture on our schools Facebook page one day.

It didn't take long for the announcer so realize that we didn't speak any Thai so he called one us up to the stand to reward us for playing along. Charlotte, in the stripes, the one of us who is actually studying Thai went up to the front and was given a teddy bear. We still have no idea what he was saying just that the crowd sure was laughing a lot.. which is always a good sign right?

Charlotte, what a brave soul.

Then the dancing began!

It was incredible.

We were also lucky enough to go behind the stage and take a few pictures with the dancers!

It is kind of hard to tell but he was  fish and had a huge tail behind him.
