On the afternoon of August 12, a Falun Gong contingent composed of flags,
dragon flags, celestial maiden dancers and waist drums joined other community
groups and set off from Bangkok Bridge, marching toward Big Cup Shopping Mall.
On the way, vigorous drum beats, colorful flags and elegant dancing, and
celestial maidens spreading flowers, attracted attention of people on the
streets. They highly praised the wonderful performances. Falun Gong
practitioners held in both hands big colorful lotus flowers which were filled
with small paper-folded lotus flowers, each attached a book mark with a message
about the virtues of Falun Dafa. They presented these lotuses to people watching
on the streets.
