on Thai Golden Dancers. I love the friendliness of the Thai people and their beautiful and ornate costumes. They seem to dance because they love it and the ritual is just an excuse to have fun. Yes. The clothes are wonderful [link]

Such a beautiful costume! Are those bells or some type of percussion instruments in her hands? This is probably a question out of nowhere but have you ever been to Java or Bali? I'd love to see their gamelan orchestras sometime.

Yeah. Those are bells. I've never been to Java or Bali, well, not yet, but I'd love to do so.

The music from there is just really interesting. Have you ever heard of the gamelan ensemble?

No. I have not heard of the Gamelan Ensemble. You have a link to an MPG sample?

Here are a couple of videos that should give you an idea of what gamelan sounds like. Note that the main known styles come from Bali and Java and from what I remember the two styles are very different from each other.
These two videos feature Bali gamelan ensembles.

These two are Javanese.

I sensed that they danced because they love it and not because the ritual is important. The ritual seems to be an excuse to enjoy oneself. I treasure the fave.

The number one reason I went to the Thai festival was to capture people in traditional Thai costumes. I was richly rewarded. Thank you for the fave.
