The above is a short video clip of the Royal Ploughing Ceremony this morning which was broadcast live on all Thai TV channels. I will post another clip tonight of highlights if people are interested.

The Ploughing Ceremony (or Plowing Ceremony if you are American) is held at Sanam Luang in Bangkok during May. It signals the start of the planting season in this country where the majority of the population are farmers. The ceremony is aimed at providing morale and making predictions about the year's crops. This year, the sacred oxen ate hay and rice, which can be predicted that food and water will be abundant this year.
