宋干节各府特色盛会昨登场

全国各地昨天(14日)均举办热闹非凡的欢度宋干节活动,包括向高龄人士行浇手礼祝福仪式,公路巡游活动等,部分地区更是封路让民众参与泼水狂欢。  

昨天是宋干节长假第3天,全国各地庆祝活动依然热闹非凡,巴真武里府宋干节庆祝活动从上午11时便陆续开市,首先是按照泰国传统敬老献花,并向老年人行浇手礼祝福活动,之后再进行长达5公里的巡游节目,上千民众和游客上街泼水逐项祝福。工作人员全心全意维持泼水地点的秩序,并预防各类违法行为。  

大城府整个市区变成宋干节泼水祝福的场地,上万游客和民众以泼水的方式迎接泰历新年的到来,整个市区道路车辆根本无法通行,只能选择城外的道路绕行。玛哈沙拉堪府市区人群拥挤,该府在市区4个地点举办音乐演唱活动以迎接来自各地的游客。其中考冒路被列为禁酒路,所以整个条道路都充满宋干节的喜气。  

程逸府当天的宋干节庆祝活动一直持续到晚上9时,大量国内外游客参加当地的庆祝活动。该府一年一度的龙舟比赛也在当天正式来开帷幕。北部的彭世洛府、喃邦府民众在河渠附近庆祝宋干节,参加泼水活动的民众采取最为热情的方式,把祝福治水泼向来往的民众。  

至于曼谷市,是隆路和暹罗广场当天都有大量民众和外国游客参加泼水活动,挽叻区办事处指,当天是隆路仅仅出售煎鸡蛋饭的收入就超过2000万铢,平时卖15铢的价格,当天提高到20铢。在是隆​​路一带参加泼水活动的民众,还一路游行到暹罗广场,参加在那里举行的传统宋干节庆祝活动。

Thai-Lao meet to mull border links


Thai-Lao meet to mull border links

Thailand and Laos will hold talks over cross-border railway links and the introduction of a single visa during a joint cabinet meeting in Chiang Mai next month.

The meeting will take place on May 19 on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Water Summit.

Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Surapong Tovichakchaikul and his Lao counterpart Thongloun Sisulit agreed on the arrangements at the 18th Thai-Lao Joint Commission meeting in Prachuap Khiri Khan yesterday.

Mr Surapong said the joint cabinet meeting would be an unofficial one and only related ministers from both countries will attend.

It would be the second Thai-Lao cabinet meeting after the first one was held eight years ago.

Ministers from both countries would discuss cross-border transport of goods, a railway linkage from Thailand via Laos to China, and the introduction of a single visa.

Thailand was ready to develop the railway and would like Laos to hold talks about the issue with China, the minister said.

Border demarcation between the nations is now 93% complete, and will be discussed by senior officials early next month before going to the Joint Boundary Committee meeting in August, Mr Surapong said.

Mr Thongloun said the border problem was a sensitive issue which must be handled carefully.

"It might take time to tackle because the land and water borders are quite long, but I believe the negotiations will come out in a good way," Mr Thongloun said.

Mr Surapong said the countries are planning to upgrade the two temporary border checkpoints at Ban Phudu in Uttaradit province and Ban Huay in Phu Sang district of Phayao province to permanent checkpoints while the process of crossing the border will also be relaxed.

He said Laos is encouraging Thais to invest in the country. Thai investment currently ranks third in Laos after China and Vietnam's.

Nok Air board director Somchainuek Engtrakul and chief executive Patee Sarasin on Sunday led 20 airline executives to board a Nok Air survey flight from Mae Sot to Myanmar's Mawlamyine (formerly Moulmein) ahead of the airline's plan to operate services on that route.

The budget airline also plans to introduce flights between Mae Sot and Yangon.

The move follows a recent agreement between Thailand and Myanmar to permanently open the Mae Sot border checkpoint to boost cross-border trade and tourism. It also aims to capitalise on the 2015 launch of the AEC.

4月1日12时23分,由泰国飞往长春、搭载105名旅客的CZ3036次航班降落在长春龙嘉国际机场,吉林省首条泰国航线成功完成首航的往返飞行任务。  

由同一架飞机执飞的长春经广州至曼谷航线,于3月31日在长春首飞。当天下午,48位中国旅客乘坐空中客车A320从长春出发,在广州经停2小时后,继续往泰国曼谷。曼谷时间4月1日2时,CZ3036次航班起飞,于北京时间6时27分到达广州,12时23分在长春顺利降落。长春-广州-曼谷航线首航的成功,让吉林省的国际及地区航线网络继原有的日、韩、港、台之后,首次向南扩展到东南亚区域。  

中国南方航空公司吉林分公司总经理李嘉华接受中新社记者采访时表示,航线给吉林和东南亚两地旅游产业的发展架设了一条空中桥梁,同时对吉林省旅游市场的开发及对外交流将起到积极推动作用。  

他同时对长春—曼谷航线的发展前景非常看好。 「2012年在长春和曼谷两地间往返的旅客人数超过2万人次,其中游客占多数。」李嘉华表示,2013年东南亚这条航线依旧会火爆。
