If you've never been to Bangkok, Thailand, you'd probably be surprised to learn that a lot of people actually do celebrate Halloween here. Thailand is a Buddhist country but Bangkok has a sizeable expat community, many of whom celebrate Halloween.

This is Santisuk. He was found injured by policemen in southern Thailand and was adopted by them. Now he has the right to wear a policeman shirt and drive atop of the police vehicle. He became a real co-worker with all the privileges ;)

All little boys dream of becoming future champions and I wish all their dreams came true, they deserve it ))

« Thousands of troops fired warning shots and tear gas at anti-government protesters rampaging across the Thai capital on Monday, forcing demonstrators to retreat and regroup for what organizers said would be a "final stand." For 12 hours, red-shirted protesters and the soldiers locked in a series of running street battles across Bangkok that left at least 79 people injured in a major escalation of the country's ongoing political turmoil. Malls and shops were shuttered and official celebrations for the Thai new year were canceled.
