Yahyâ ibn Mahmûd al-Wâsitî was a 13th-century Arab Islamic artist. Al-Wasiti was born in Wasit in southern Iraq. He was noted for his illustrations of the Maqam of al-Hariri.<br/><br/> Maqāma (literally 'assemblies') are an (originally) Arabic literary genre of rhymed prose with intervals of poetry in which rhetorical extravagance is conspicuous. The 10th century author Badī' al-Zaman al-Hamadhāni is said to have invented the form, which was extended by al-Hariri of Basra in the next century. Both authors' maqāmāt center on trickster figures whose wanderings and exploits in speaking to assemblies of the powerful are conveyed by a narrator.<br/><br/> Manuscripts of al-Harīrī's Maqāmāt, anecdotes of a roguish wanderer Abu Zayd from Saruj, were frequently illustrated with miniatures.

A traditional Burmese orchestra, or 'saingwaing', is composed of wind instruments, Burmese trumpets ('ne'), brass gongs ('mow') and the large barrels or drum circles also known as 'saingwaing' which are lined with hanging tambourines. Troupes are still popular today at Buddhist festivals and national events.

Tha Pom (full name in Thai is Pa Phru Tha Pom Khlong Song Nam) is a peat swamp and forest running mostly from a pool called Chong Phra Kaew along a natural waterway.<br/><br/> Local people call this waterway Khlong Song Nam or ‘two types of water canal’, because clear freshwater meets and merges with seawater at high tide, resulting in a natural environment where Lumphi palms (Eleiodoxa conferta) meet and mingle with mangrove forest.<br/><br/> Krabi Province is made up of more than 5,000 sq km of jungle-covered hills and sharp, jagged karst outcrops, as well as more than 100km of luxuriant, pristine coastline and around 200 islands in the neighbouring Andaman Sea.<br/><br/> About 40 per cent of the provincial population is Muslim, the remainder being predominantly Buddhist. This is a clear indication that Krabi sits astride the invisible dividing line between Buddhist Thailand and the four southern provinces—Satun, Narathiwat, Yala and Pattani—which are predominantly Muslim. Far from causing any sort of problem, this adds immensely to the cultural width and diversity of the province, blending mosques with temples, Malay cooking traditions with Thai cuisine, and giving the province a pleasantly relaxed multi-cultural feel.
