As we arrived at the Muang Tum Castle, it was neither too early nor too late, but just in time. We reached around 5 pm, which was too early for the light and sound show but too late for beautiful lighting at the castle. As a result, we had to wander around taking photos of the castle with backlighting and darkness, waiting for the Muang Tum Castle Tourism Festival ceremony, following the Khmer civilization, in 2018.

People are waiting to join the annual ceremony at Prasat Muang Tam.

Miss Buriram Red Cross 2017

While walking and taking pictures in the castle, I noticed that beautiful women were walking around the castle. They were not just anyone, but Miss Buriram 2017, the latest year. So I asked for a picture with her.

A beauty queen performs a traditional dance by the baray within the Prasat Muang Tam temple complex.

A few steps further, another person was posing for a photographer at the archway next to the baray. This person seemed quite pitiful, as the photographer kept asking them to change poses and hadn't finished taking the photos yet. They must have been getting tired.

Before the ceremony began, the beautiful ladies gathered in front of the castle in Muang Tam to showcase their beauty.

Truly beautiful, pleasing to the eye and heart.

After taking photos of the castle until the light faded, we escaped to wander through the local community market. In addition to the food and utensils on display, there were also demonstrations of local crafts, such as silk reeling, silk weaving, and pottery making.

Pottery Making

Silk Farming and Silk Reeling

This phrase refers to the two main stages in the production of silk:

1. Silk Farming: This involves raising silkworms, which are the larvae of the Bombyx mori moth. Silkworms are fed mulberry leaves, and they produce silk cocoons as they prepare to transform into moths.
2. Silk Reeling: This process involves unwinding the silk fibers from the cocoons. The cocoons are boiled in water to loosen the fibers, and then they are carefully unwound and spun into thread.

The phrase "การเลี้ยงไหม และการสาวไหม" is a concise and accurate description of these two important steps in silk production.

The festival was held from February 16-17, 2018 at Prasat Muang Tam, Ban Khok Muang, Chorakhe Mak District, Prakhon Chai District, Buriram Province.
