Ploy and Choi were not very interested in the end part of the procession. Because when the procession moved, all the entertainments in the field ahead began to start simultaneously. Taking a chance, both Ploy and Choi wandered hand in hand to the halls of amusements.
At the backyard of Wat PhraKaew, Temple of the Emerald Buddha, there were many interesting things to see like dancing, tumbling, tight sling, on which people had to climb high to stand on top of the pole, and other acrobatic stunts. The one that Mae Ploy liked the most was Kaua Stabbing Buffalo. Two people were in the mantle acting like a real buffalo, one of them in the front was holding a mockup buffalo head. Besides, another man, holding a spear, was playing as the husband of the woman named “Kaua.” The last man, dressed like a woman holding a worn-out umbrella, was Kaua, the wife. The played went on with a gesture of the actors that makes the audience laugh throughout the scene of confusing fights among furious buffalo, the husband and Kaua trying to stab the buffalo , the wife. The play was noisy but very amusing. Later on, the two women went by another and another group of play, which they did not like, then they strode away to other places, then said they were bored.
"Kaua stabbed the buffalo" was inspired by the scene in the story, when Mae Ploy was in the palace. There was a tonsure ceremony of tmountainhe Crown Prince MahaVajirunhis, the first Crown Prince of Siam.
It was a great and very beautiful event, which was one of the ceremonies I have not seen today. The story mentioned the beauty of the Grand Palace, the creation of the miniature of the mountain Khao Krailas, which was made of bamboos, tin plates. Khao Krailas was the mountain mentioned in a beautiful fairy tale. Outside the grand palace, there were entertainments for the public to enjoy. Ploy and Choy liked the performance of "Kaua stabbing buffalo" the most and found it to be amusing with two men chasing the buffalo; one was the husband with spear and the other was the wife holding a torn umbrella, which I have never seen in the present time.
Insights from this literature of the “Four Reigns” helped me see the pictures through Mae Ploy and other characters, showed and shared feelings of loyalty to the nation, religion, and royal family, and filial piety to the beneficent parents, behaving themselves as good people. I saw the kindheartedness Ploy and Choy shared to each other. The generosity of the people of that era brought happiness to me. Studying the life of Thai people, the culture, customs and traditions made me feel love and proud. I can say, "I love Thailand".
