" cultural wonderies "

---

every 6:00pm in thailand, the national anthem is played.

everywhere you are, it is playing, no matter where it be: a stadium, a small restaurant, an open field filled with aerobic participants, an office building.

in this manner, it brings the country together in a systemic audio-visual sense of patriotic normalcy, and it is hard to not revel in the majesty of this daily event.

so, the next time you see it is a time corresponding with 6pm in thailand, bend your ear to the eastern winds, and listen for the faint whispers of thai freedom echoing from across the ocean.
