This is the last chance for adults and kids to enjoy kite surfing at ICONSIAM Summer Kite Playground 2022 which takes place from 4pm to 8pm until Sunday.
The spacious River Park at Iconsiam has been transformed into an area for kite surfing where visitors can learn how to fly kites.

Hugs are back at Disney parks
After two years of waving from a distance, kids can hug characters at Disney parks again.
Mickey Mouse and friends resume meet-and-greets with guests at Disneyland, Walt Disney World Resorts and on Disney Cruise Lines this week, the Walt Disney Co said in a blog post recently.

Although the parks reopened in Florida in July 2020 and in California in April 2021, characters remained at a distance from fans rather than roaming around for autographs and photos. As states across the US have begun lifting Covid-19 requirements for masking, testing and vaccination, Disney said it is bringing back in-person greetings, dining and other events in phases this spring.
Park revenue doubled in the first quarter from pandemic lows, according to Disney's Feb 9 earnings report. The company also vowed to diversify its characters with a pledge that half will come from underrepresented groups, beginning this year. Bloomberg
