In Thailand, the Queen’s Birthday also marks national Mother’s Day. 

Here’s to a very Happy Mother’s Day for all New Mandala Mums.

    …And the New Mandala mothers say, ‘Thanks for the kind thoughts’. An unexpected mother’s day greeting is rather nice.

Please note: New Mandala encourages vigorous debate. However, for the moment we will only be publishing high-quality comments that make original contributions to discussion. There will, of course, still be space for pithy, humorous, eccentric and cheeky input. Short and sweet will usually trump long and involved. Repetitive ranting, unimaginative point-scoring and idle abuse will not be entertained. Comments which carry a real name are also more likely to be approved. Thank you for your ongoing interest and contributions.
