On Christmas Eve Eve I was invited to join a crew of falangs who were gathering together to sing Christmas carols on the banks of the river in Chachoengsao. I joined them thinking it would be a good laugh and bring a bit of Christmas cheer to the locals. The river bank was full of people all posing for photos by the larg
e Christmas tree and other decorations. As we gathered together with our Christmas hats on to begin singing a crowd of close to 200 formed around us all watching and listening and looking confused as to what we were trying to do. What we were trying to do was sing Christmas carols and raise a bit of money for flood relief. The longer we sang the more the crowd dispersed which was not a good sign. All in all though we had fun, made a bit of money for the flood relief and made a good story for all the Thais who probably went to tell their friends about the crazy white people singing by the river.
