"Love" (Rak) around the clock

Valentines Day in Thailand is hot stuff

Love is in the air this month in Bangkok and other provinces around Thailand. As anyone who's spent time in Thailand already (must) knows, love is "Rak" in Thai. Here's you ocan see that -- Love is always in the air:

Romantic Origins
February has been regarded as the month of love in the West since ancient Greek times, as this was supposed when the gods Zeus and Hera tied the knot. Who's know the truth ... please tell me, Here!!

Eastern Amor
Although Valentine's Day is foreign import and still relatively new in Thailand, it's celebrated with a creativity and enthusiasm that can make even the hardest coconut of a heart al mushy on the inside. In the Bang Rak (literally "Love District") area of Bangkok, paramours flock to partake in various promotions and parties. Those looking to celebrate their love (or perhaps find it) should spend it here this February 14th.

Why is this area called the "district of love"? ... Most likely it's got nothing to do with love at all, but originally the appellation "rak" meant either "cure" or was the name of type of tree that grew there. Like the origin of Valentine's Day itself, the truth of the matter hardly matters anymore.

To Celebrate the Rosy-Holidays, the Valentines Day ... Let's say "I Love You" to anyone you love and care.
