Cosplay in Thai!

Do you know what’s the coolest trend right now? Forget about leggings, polka dot prints or customised t-shirts and don’t even think of brand name stuff. The coolest trend right now is Cosplay!

Cosplay originally arrived in Thailand along with the J-Wave of Japanese dramas and musicians that hit these shores about five years ago. Since then, many Japanese companies, a Japanese language institute, and The Technology Promotion Association, have used Cosplay competitions as a part of their events. Boom even produces a weekly comic for all J-Fans called Festival Japan. Cosplay is now the biggest attention grabber in the comic as Thai youngsters have suddenly become crazy for Cosplay.
In the beginning, Cosplay was just a hobby that allowed the kids to show off their own elaborate creations, see others’ ideas and take lots of photos. It has now grown into big business. As the trend has exploded into Thai shores or some style one smart Thai entrepreneur has opened an outlet catering to the demand from the Cosplay youth as well. I think for Thai teens there are many reason that teenager want to dress as Cosplay such as they are in love with games and animation and being able to dress up like their favorite characters is the next step. They can use the creativity and apply it to what they wear, it’s such a pleasure.
At present time, some parents are more open-minded and support their kids; some even shop for their kids. It’s good for teenagers to have opportunity to express their personality and be more confident. They can be what they want to be in the Cosplay world.

Halloween Party make me crazy!!!

On last Saturday was Halloween day, I also surprise that many people asked me Where will I go in this night??? Why I have to go out in Halloween night and celebrate. Sometime I may think like old Thai people, I think that Halloween is celebration of western culture but it also influence on Thai culture as well, especially Thai adolescent.
Many places in Bangkok hole up the celebration such as pub and restaurant, especially Silom Soi4 ,a stree of bar, restaurantd and clubs, is the scene for a massive Halloween street party in Bangkok: although Halloween celebrations abound in Bangkok, this one is the queen. For people who love go out at night, will also love this night as well because they will dress like ghost that day can not do in dairy life.
At Bangkok University they also have celebration and many activities on that day. I went to BU but I did not dress like ghost, unfortunately, I stayed in the library for whole day with disturbance sound from that celebration.
