Canada Day Press Release “The entire Canadian population of Lopburi Thailand gathered today at one house in a usually quiet neighbourhood near the Thesabaan. In this country where the celebration is not marked by any public holiday, merry makers rose early to celebrate before the work day began. By breakfast time rousing renditions of “Happy Birthday, dear Canada” and “O Canada,” complete with prominent waving of portable Canadian flags, were ringing out across the local orchid plantation. The festive fare planned for this evening consists of red apples, strawberries and chocolate ice cream and chocolate caramel squares. The guard on duty for the property where the festivities will be continued this evening is on full alert to ensure that high levels of chocolate consumption do not result in any rowdy behaviour that might offend the neighbours, who, also foreigners, are rumoured to be planning independent celebrations of their own for later in the week.”
