THINGYAN YAY

“THINGYAN YAY”, in Burmese, stands for NEW YEAR WATER. This is MYANMAR NEW YEAR festive time. So this is post is to welcome NEW YEAR.

NEW YEAR WISHES FROM YE LWIN OO

“Thingyan comes but once a year, and when it does it brings good cheers.” Thingyan, Myanmar New Year festival, is the biggest celebration here in Burma. Don’t be surprised!! Burma has 12 big festivals in a year characterizing one festival for each month. Among them, THINGYAN is the major celebration of Burmese people.

I don’t like playing water during Thingyan. But I love seeing people who play water. Last year Thingyan, I was staying home and preparing for an exam. I took breaks during lunch time and yes seized some shots nearby my home. The sun was burly enough to burn our skin as Thingyan also is a symbol of summer in Myanmar.

So, this is esteem to Thingyan (aka) Burmese New Year festival. Dear friends, be satisfied with this THINGYAN shot of last year… May you have a very prosperous year ahead…

Wonderful!
I was waiting for someone to post pics.
And I am not surprised to receive them from you first.
Too bad that I am in Singapore.
Our Festivals are always great photo opportunities.
Someone here told me that from a photographers’ view, we have so much unique subject matter.
Anyway wishing you and yours A Happy New Myanmar Year!

Hope you have got enough time to shoot good pictures of Thin Gyan activities in BKK, which might be much different from Burmese culture, this year. Or you might be staying head down in your room to keep yourself safe from political turmoil in BKK.
