Hundreds of Catholic villagers of Thab Christ village in Surat Thani’s Phanom district participate in a religious ceremony on Good Friday. They take turn to carry crucifixes up a mountain trail behind their church to remember the torment and crucifixion of Jesus Christ at Calvary. The church is the only one in Thailand with a procession up a real mountain.

EXAM CRISIS
Setback for students as NIETS review limited

ELECTION CONTROVERSIES
Chuan warns against shifting candidates


Allowing candidates who failed to get 20 per cent of the votes in the April 2 election to run in new constituencies in the second round of voting on April 23 will taint the House of Representatives, senior Democrat Chuan Leekpai warned yesterday.

The number of people registering as members of the ruling Thai Rak Thai Party has increased since caretaker Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra announced earlier this month that he will step down as prime minister when a new government is elected, said the party's electoral campaign speaker, Aekaporn Rakkwamsuk.
