As the days swiftly march toward one of the most anticipated events of the year in Buriram province, excitement is reaching a crescendo for the momentous celebration in honor of the Commemorating the Sixth-Cycle (72nd) Birthday Anniversary of His Majesty King. A central and highly awaited feature of this grand festivity is a musical extravaganza titled “The Breath of the Land.” Buriram Province’s dedicated students have invested their heart and soul, rehearsing tirelessly for over two months, to pay homage to His Majesty’s profound generosity and unwavering loyalty.
The latest cohort of talented young musical performers recently journeyed from Buriram Province to the esteemed HOSTBKK Arts Centre / Dance Studio, nestled on the 4th floor of the Chandrphen Restaurant Building in bustling Bangkok. This final rehearsal session featured the magnificent voices of Miss Yanisa Chomchoei, affectionately known as ‘Nong Cake,’ a luminary from the Chingcha Sawan singing competition, and Miss Kantheera Songprakhon, fondly called Khaofang, an acclaimed vocalist from The Voice Thailand Season 6. Both artists are set to enrapture the audience with their rendition of the Sansoen Phra Barami (Royal Anthem), under the meticulous guidance and counsel of Mr. Piyapol Wongprasit (Kru Pey Pey) from Prakhonchai Pittayakhom School.
Mark your calendars for “The Breath of the Land,” slated to enchant audiences from July 28-30, 2024, commencing at 6:00 PM at the spectacular Chang Arena Stadium in Buriram province. This event promises to be nothing short of spectacular, boasting world-class staging and cutting-edge technological marvels, including a mesmerizing 3D mapping light and sound show. The festivities will also feature an orchestra performance, a spellbinding musical, and an exhibition showcasing award-winning paintings of His Majesty the King’s royal projects.
In addition to these artistic delights, the event also includes a plethora of public welfare activities dedicated to His Majesty the King’s noble spirit of philanthropy. Attendees can participate in blood donation drives, with a goal to collect a staggering 7,200 units (720 units per day). Community service initiatives aimed at providing care and breath to patients will also be a key highlight. Moreover, local residents and renowned shops from Buriram will generously share food and beverages through a communal kitchen, inviting everyone to partake in delightful culinary experiences. And the best part? Admission is absolutely free!

This event sounds incredible! It’s wonderful that they are showcasing local talent and honoring His Majesty the King.
Absolutely! I think events like this strengthen our community and culture.
But don’t you think it’s a bit over the top? All these celebrations are a waste of taxpayer money.
Anna, I respect your opinion, but I believe these events also promote cultural pride and unity.
Maybe they should spend more on education instead of lavish celebrations.
I can’t wait to see ‘The Breath of the Land’ performance! It sounds magical.
Same here! The 3D mapping light and sound show sounds amazing.
I’m curious about the paintings in the exhibition as well. Those royal projects are quite inspiring.
Hope it lives up to the hype. These events often promise more than they deliver.
The inclusion of public welfare activities is a brilliant idea. Kudos to the organizers!
Yes! Blood donation drives and community service make the celebration even more meaningful.
I agree, Chaiwat. It’s great to see an event that gives back to the community.
It sets a great example for future events. Philanthropy should be a key component.
Let’s just hope it’s not just for show. True philanthropy happens year-round, not just at events.
The lineup of performers is fantastic! ‘Nong Cake’ and ‘Khaofang’ have such beautiful voices.
Yes, they are both very talented. This will be a treat for music lovers.
I’ve followed Khaofang since The Voice. She’s phenomenal!
But is it really accessible to everyone? These events are often more appealing to tourists than locals.
Good point, Joe. I think they need to find ways to include the local community more effectively.
Exactly. Free admission is a start, but accessibility entails a lot more than just that.
Does anyone know if the exhibition will be available online for those who can’t attend in person?
I’m not sure, but it would be great if they did. Missing out on such cultural richness is a pity.
Indeed. With today’s technology, there’s no reason they can’t stream it.
WOW! 7,200 units of blood donation? That’s a huge target. Ambitious and commendable!
That’s impressive! Hopefully, they achieve or even surpass that goal.
I think this event is way too extravagant. A simple celebration would suffice.
Larry, it’s a significant milestone. His Majesty’s contributions deserve grand recognition.
Perhaps, but lavishness can be seen as wasteful in tough economic times.
The communal kitchen sharing food and drinks is a lovely gesture! So heartwarming!
I think the public service announcements and projects are just as important, if not more.
Who will be performing in the orchestra? Would love to know more details.
I heard it’s a mix of local and international musicians. Should be an eclectic performance.
The students have really put in a lot of effort. They deserve all the applause.
True! It’s impressive how dedicated they’ve been preparing for this event.
