Talk:Poy Sang Long

Thai vs. Shan translation
I altered the reference "Thai -- festival of the Jewel princess" to read "Shan -- Festival of the Crystal Sons." The major reason for the change is simply that Poy San Long means nothing in the Thai language; it is a Shan expression. I had a group of Shan guests today and showed them a travel book referring to the "Crystal Son Festival," and they all agreed that this was the correct meaning of Poy Sang Long. We were speaking in Thai, so this came out as "luuk chaay [pen] kaaew." And, obviously, there are no princesses involved in this ceremony, which is for the Buddhist ordination of young males only.

== What happened to the picture on this page?????

Well, what happened?? I took the picture in Chiang Mai, and a friend went to great difficulty in posting it, and now it's gone!

Wow, that really makes people want to work for Wikipedia, especially considering the outstanding wages, and the fact that some moron can come along and delete everything you contribute, without explanation.

Freep this shoot. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.31.102.115 (talk) 17:27, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
