REIGN, RAIN, RICE

For ABC Wednesday – R


RAIN QUEEN’S REIGN
Photograph copyright © Kanpirom Srisongnang

Kanpirom took this photo of her cousin, Mai, crowned
Queen of The Rain at the Recent Beun Bang Fai
firework festival for Rain.
The festival marks the end of the dry season
and is seen as a good omen for Rain in a Rural community,
ensuring a plentiful supply of Rice later in the year.
