Thai monks are visiting the Island to take part in celebrations to mark Thai New Year.

 

Hundreds of people are expected to turn out in Jurby, and at Ashley Hill School, for the two day event.

 

There'll be authentic food and dancing as well as a water and powder fight in keeping with true Thai tradition - the monks, from Birmingham, will be helping to raise money for their temple.
