Kite flying
03 Dec 2008 07:28 am
We only have three seasons here in Pattaya, cool, wet and hot, and with the cool season comes the wind. We are not talking about gales force winds but light breezes which means it is kite flying season. The boys at the Drop-In Center for Street Kids have been busy finding scraps of cloth, plastic and wood to make their kites. With a long length of string tied to an empty plastic bottle, the kites are let off and they can reach very high. For hours each day the boys will fly their kites and there is always a bit of a competition to see who can fly higher and for longer.
