Thailand is an enchantment, a place where the heavens conspired to bless the land with great natural beauty and abundance. Growing up in the Kingdom as a young child was a magical experience. I was constantly being dazzled by the astonishing variety of festivals, temple fairs and bustling marketplaces that were filled with a carnival atmosphere of good-natured fun and fellowship. Smiles were found everywhere and happiness was reflected in the faces of people truly enjoying the benefits of belonging to such a rich and unified cultural heritage, most especially evident in the flamboyant costumes, songs and dances that were always such an important part of any gathering.
From the pomp and pageantry of the Royal Barge Procession on the Chao Phraya river, or the famous Flower processions in the Northern provinces and the Candle Procession in the Northeast to the famous Loy Kratong festival taking place in all bodies of water throughout the Kingdom, Thailand was, as it still is, a magical place to me, filled with mystery, magic and exciting mythology.
Carnival Magic was inspired by the glorious sights, sounds and colors of my beloved homeland and we have endeavored to reflect the heart and soul and spirit of the land and its people in one joyous experience that combines the best of what Thailand means to me, and to all of us who share in the magic..
Carnival Magic is a childhood dream to recapture the true meaning of being Thai, by bringing smiles to the faces, joy to the hearts, and Happiness to Light.

The Prince of Kamala returns triumphantly to his magical Kingdom after an epic journey across the land to discover the true meaning of being “Thai”.
Accompanied by his faithful Heavenly elephant guardians, the Prince traveled to the far reaches of his Kingdom and beyond in the hopes of finding a way to remove a terrible curse that had been placed on the land ages earlier.
Through a journey filled with thrilling adventures and magical wonders, along the way, the Prince came to discover the ancient wisdom of his cultural heritage to honor the beauty and bounty of the land and the unique spirit of all of its inhabitants. And thus, by embracing the true meaning of what it means to be Thai, the curse was lifted, and the Kingdom was free once more.
The returning Prince is showered with gifts and blessings from all the realms of Heaven, Earth, and Sea as he is received in a jubilant reception along the river and returns to take his place as the rightful Prince of his fairy tale Kingdom.
From the deepest ocean depths of the Realm to the lush tropical jungles and flowering mountain forests that enrich the Kingdom with such natural abundance and beauty, come offerings of peace and harmony to a Prince who has been deemed worthy to care for his heaven blessed land.
The entire Kingdom joins in the celebration of the Joy to be found everywhere in a land where Happiness can outshine all the stars in the night.
