Halloween in a Buddhist country is strange. Malls like Emporium are decorated with masks, black and orange garlands, and of course ghosts of all shapes and sizes. But ask a local person why they celebrate Halloween and you might end up explaining what trick or treat means. It's funny how they celebrate it for the sake of celebrating it.

Post script: It was a rainy Halloween in Bangkok, with everyone experiencing their worst nightmare - heavy rains and 3 hour traffic jams all over the city. Good thing we decided to stay home instead. The crown I wore to work gave me a headache.
