I'd like to know what this means: does not seem to be using the Thai language properly

There are many versions of 'proper' Thai. Put three locals in a room and you will get three different answers. So finding a Thai teacher to trust is difficult if you don't know your way around the language (as one wouldn't when starting out).

Not to mention the 18 million plus Thai who speak the Isaan dialect. It is as much a part of Thai cultural heritage as any other. It is a real part of the life of these Thai citizens even though it is not the official language. It is the real "heart" language.

I fully understand that a country needs a national language and that all citizens are required to master it at a high level.
However, it is also important to acknowledge that millions speak other languages and dialects as their mother tongue - Lao, Khmer and Malay dialects, hilltribe languages -, many go to school hardly knowing any Thai, but that does not and should not make them second-class citizens for all their lives. It would be nice to have a "languages day" that focuses on all this heritage and diversity, so people learn more about each other rather than cultivate mistrust, condescending attitudes, or inferiority complex.
(Yes, I know.... )

I'm married to a Thai national and live in Thailand with her and her family so this is a really special day for us.
The content of your post was well described and full of detail. I'm sure it will give people a good insight into what is a very important day in the Buddhist calendar.
Regards....Tom

This is a very great celebration of Thai people and it is a kind of water celebration which is a tradition in Thai civilization as well.

These are all the great tips and a new visitor must ponder over these things for their safety and take all precautionary measures while enjoying this event for sure.
